I know there is some confusion and I wanted to clarify a few things.

1. The GT Exhaust is our axle back exhaust. $899

2. IF there is a GT Race system it will consist of our GT axle back PLUS the rest of the exhaust piping to the front.

3. Quad exhaust is a very slight possibility mainly because there is not much performance to be had and the only reason to do so on a 545 or 550 would be purely for cosmetic reasons. (RPi is known for performance and NOT cosmetic.)

So, if some of you are interested in the GT Race, you can still take advantage of our intro pricing for the GT axle back.

If you do make the 545 Quad, does this mean you will make a 530 Quad system?

there's nothing wrong with that! If everyone wants lightweight, why dont we all swap for halogen headlamps which are lighter. Let's also get rid of ALL the leather in the car and sit on regular fabric. RPi should definitely make a quads for the e60 that makes power. I know you guys can do it!!! If the 645 and 650 has quads stock, so can the e60s

Can you please try to be known for both? I really want a quad setup for my 530 with a product that actually gives gains.
