Anything to get away from exhaust sound through the speakers is great.

Would like to see some dyno pulls before throwing cash down on these. Is exhaust gas velocity really poor on these ST's that this will uncork even more potential on the 3.0?

Consider them a good piece of the overall puzzle. 3” piping and a high flow cat will help spool time and the overall power curve for sure. Exactly how much remains to be seen.

Has anyone installed yet? Anyone having issues with the O2 sensor hole in a different position - hitting the engine block when installing? 1F8EB9B5-DF59-407B-A413-DF9DC7BD0DA4.jpeg

Ya not sure what the difference is....but I’ll keep you all posted. My installer’s been on the phone with SPD so we’ll see.

I sent lethal performance an email to give them a heads up. Before they send mine out.

I definitely see no reason at all to relocate the bung.

UPDATE: the alignment was off on the O2 sensor hole when machining the left pipe. Sounds like a one off issue but better heads up than surprises. Good news is, Jacob at SPD was awesome to work with and super responsive - a replacement pipe has already been shipped overnight so should see it as fast as Canadian customs can clear it!
had my tech talk directly to Jacob - could have also had a local machine shop relocate the hole but I felt I’d rather have the fit and finish of a new correct pipe.
not pleased it happened but SPD made it right and quickly, so all good!
