"there is only one company making one bolt on system(Stainless)."


JBA also makes a side exit (Lightning style) stainless steel exhaust. I think mine was ~$318.00 shipped from autoanything.com. It's not super loud but you know its there. The only thing I don't like about it is the chrome tips and I'm going to take care of that soon.

Stupid question, what is lightning exhaust? I ordered the SW exhaust and we really didn't discuss options, show up today very well packed and it's true dual exhaust with I think Turbo S mufflers.

I noticed that SW offers high flow cats, I'd like to know if they will pass smog in CA, if so, I'd get them. I'd also purchase headers as well if it's passes CA smog. Anyone know?

Lightning style is where the exhaust tips exit infront of the rear tire.

LT headers and high flow cats will pass smog in California as long as they don`t see them. It will pass emissions, but they are not legal here. Nothing is legal in Cali anymore, Fu****g tree huggers.

If you ordered your exhaust and they said it would be in to you "soon" then you didn't get the lightening style, I think it is on like a 3-4 week build time.

"Lighting style" came from SVT's Ford Lightning which was the same idea as the Raptor unique truck but this was a street racing truck. The exhaust exits right infront of the passenger rear tire behind your side step.

Now I get the lightening exhaust, makes sense. It I'll take me chances with the headers and go for it....I'll be looking to install the high flow Cats too.

I did this in my 1997 Porsche Turbo S, and it passes smog in CA.
