Hello all, I am wanting to guage interest on a new axleback exhaust system for the G8 GT, offered at a very reasonable price, several tip options, etc..
SO HERE IS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED:
*I am the owner of DG CUSTOMS, located in Danville VA--been in business since 2003. We specialize in one-off speaker boxes, suspension, performance, and exhaust installation etc... If it bolts to a car--we have done it.
*AXLEBACKS* will be constructed of heavy-duty flanges, mandrel bent 304 stainless steel 2.5" pipe & your choice of stainless steel exhaust tips. Mig welded construction.
The version we are working on now is a muffler-less design(straight pipe) and sounds excellent--very nice tone, virtually no drone at cruise speed and when the AFM is engaged. Very aggressive outside of the vehicle.
We will offer three different styled tips:
* Rolled Oval --about 5.5" wide and 3" tall
* Slant Cut Round --3.5" tip exit
* O.E. Style(these will be a little more expensive due to the price of the tips)
*VERSION II* will be just like above with the addition of one of our in house built chambered mufflers--extremely aggressive, sound fantastic, I would not recommend these to anyone who has not diabled the AFM. There is drone with this version when it is engaged. With the AFM disengaged, it is not bad at all--nice low rumble at cruise speed.
Both versions will be built on a jig, and will be test fit before shipped.
Initial price is expected to be the following:
-----VERSION 1-----
*with Rolled Oval Tips---
*with Slant cut tips---
*with OE style tips ---
-----VERSION II-----
*with Rolled Oval tips ---
*with Slant Cut tips ---
*with OE styled tips---
It is also possible we might have a pre-order sale with a little better prices. Looking to go into production by the end of March and shipping shortly there after. I have been talking to Charlie about becoming a vendor as well. These exhaust systems are all built by hand-by only two people in our shop, so quality will be first class--prices may vary slightly--I am working with two different suppliers getting prices & details
I will have more pictures & sound clips up shortly
I will get pics of the system installed on the car tomorrow, and show different tip options as well.
Here is a few pre-production pics with the slash cut tips:
(please note that this is aluminized pipe -- this is not final production assembly--it will be stainless)

Depending on reaction to these axlebacks, we may offer a full catback system with the option of either an H or X pipe(your choice) and possibly looking into making a "cat delete" pipe--essentially making a true-offroad system. Projected pricing is looking around -- range for the complete cat-back system & around --for the off-road extensions(AS OF NOW--ACTUAL PRICING MAY VARY---)
WITHIN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, WE ARE ADDING A POWDER COAT OVEN LARGE ENOUGH TO BAKE COMPLETE MOTORCYCLE FRAMES, SO LOOK FOR MUCH MORE TO COME!!
Thanks for looking,
Daniel
