    Thanks so much all for the kind words. We have a great relationship with Novitec and Novitec N.A. and we both will always do absolutely anything and everything in the end to ensure that all of you are taken care of :)

    So Sean, since you have heard more combinations of the Novitecs than anybody else, can you give us a rundown of your favorite combinations? Valved vs. X pipe, decat vs 100 cel, etc. If someone is looking to hopefully raise the pitch and provide a little more excitement, which way should they go?

    Personally, I like the Non valved with cats gone lol ...BUT that is highly aggressive and really comes down to how much the neighbors love you :)

    My next option would be Valved and Catless. Almost as angry, but you have the valve option still for cold starts etc.

    How similar would 100 cel and non valved be to castles?

    Not far off really. It would be a little quieter but certainly less fumes lol

    Well Sean... It wasn't really meant as a compliment but more as a fact! The compliment you take is because you represent TAG well and it would not be fair to you if that is not mentioned and you being thanked for it.

    Neighbors love changes. It may be OK when they see you driving by at 12-5 PM weekdays. However, their love will be conditional and suffer an extreme shift on weekends, particularly 6-7 AM.

    I haven't heard it with such arrangement, but I would dare to say that it will likely be obnoxiously loud. In which turn, the car will be renamed to HOA complaint maker or the disturbance of the peace.

    Do you get much as far as fumes with 100cel?

    A little more than stock but not as noticeable as a full cat-less set.

    I don’t want to risk voiding my warranty by changing the cats. I currently have the valves pinned open.
    What difference do you think I would see with a valveless Novitec x pipe, leaving everything else as stock?

    Made a tremendous difference for me. Gives the sound more of a focused tone and some actual drama on the higher end of the spectrum.

    Inconel...if it makes it the tiniest bit higher pitched, I wanted it.
