Ultrex will be half that for a full TBE. I did a test fit on my my08 for Rob a few weeks ago. There was one issues that needed to be fixed. I would say a few weeks and the new TBE will be here and fitted. If your willing to wait a bit to save some $$ then contact Rob.

cbf reading everything above to see if it's been mentioned, but just remember - TBE will require tune, CBE wont. I have just fitted Hi-tech diff back sections on my car, and then removed the front resinator and replaced with a section of Stainless Steel. I feel my car has a pretty good note and volume for everyday driving

Still waiting for the 100's of posts of untuned cars with exhausts blowing up...

I totally understand the need to tune the car when aiming for good power outputs above the norm, and I sure will be tuning, but I was chatting with David at S Technic the other day & he told me that just putting a cat back or TBE, doesn't necessarily require an immediate tune, the main reason that it could, would be if the oxygen sensors were to trip the engine management system, my understanding is that Robs systems rarely cause this problem, so if your looking for better airflow with the rumble and cash is tight you can just fit the exhaust.
