Perhaps I should add a few quotes from the Hondatech site :-
.................................................. ...............................
"Our JTUNE exhaust system is designed to be quiet but producing maximum gains in power, drive ability and fuel economy."
"Sadly in today’s world gone are the days of loud exhaust systems as the law is being more and more tough, these days people opted for stealth installations. Our system has a few major primary goals, maximum power, in both mid range and up top, maximum drive ability, and increase fuel economy and most of all not overly louder than stock"
"All the Jtune equipment will be fully ADR37 tested and certified for both sound and emissions, making the upgrades legal within Australia. Final results of the performance increase will be released along side of the product release"

If you installed the system on someone's car leading them to believe it legal and they came back with a massive fine, and a defect notice.....I suppose you would tell them to.... enjoy a cup of concrete.
I suppose the point I am making is that I have a 50k car now that I can't drive cause someone forgot to consider legal issues....and I have paid $4,450 for a prototype having been told it was the finished product except for tailpipe diameter and rear bracket.
I was told my ECU would be 2 weeks and final parts would be 5 weeks.
ECU has been 7 weeks so far still waiting, supposed to be back today.
Was told on Wednesday that final parts will be another maybe 2 months making 16 weeks.
However, on the hondatech site another customer has just had the extreme kit fitted to his car with, I assume, the modified headers and muffler inserts.
I must comment that as a paying customer I feel let down that I will have to wait another 2 months for my car to be driveable while modified parts are being installed on new customers cars.
