Hi Guys. Thanks for posting this thread Chaaree. Thanks everybody for your comments and questions. We at H-Fit are also excited for the upcoming release of our H-Fit Type M exhaust. Our anticipated release date will be early June. The MSRP on it will be around $325, with the street price around $260 - $275. We'll have some sound clips for you guys in the next couple weeks. We're also scheduling time for final dyno testing. As a FYI, we've tested this design for over a year (on NA and Turbo), and we've been very pleased.
Hehe. On the bottom of the hangers, it is not rust (it does look like it!). Our production prototype came straight from production and immediately shipped. The hot welds melted the packaging.
Let me try to answer all of your questions. The exhaust canister is not a generic muffler but instead it was manufactured to our specifications by Borla Performance here in California. It is positioned horizontally (and not dipping down). I know what you mean Kenchan, and we hate the mufflers pointing down too! These exhausts were originally to be released in matte black paint, but we liked the raw material look. Our original prototype was painted black.
As for the muffler hanger shape, the space ship comment was funny. However, there is a method to our madness. Over the last year, we had developed several rear diffusers that mounted close to the exhaust. With the position of the hangers, we were able to have better clearance for our diffuser and allowed more room to work with. We kept the hanger design as you see!
Our exhaust was designed to be low key (low exhaust note with no polish, no chrome, no large useless tip) AND deliver performance.
Feel free to PM or email us if you have any questions. We'll keep you updated on this post.
Thanks,
Johnny
