^ ZMK, beat me to it as I was copying the link!

Hainsy: yeah, when it's fully open there is nothing to stop the flow, so you will get all the power of a regular 3" or 3 1/2" exhaust. Read that thread ZMK posted up for answers to lots of questions you're likely to have. There's also a big thread on here about exhausts in general. 'Search' function will bring it up.

I have one on my car.... love it, very good for when I'm coming home late at night and don't want that loud rumble waking my entire street up also going stealth ninja when five-o drive past.

With it closed you get less performance, car doesn't pull hard at all since there is no airflow but with it open it's just as normal as any other cannon

what do you mean over stock when open ? I did a muffler swap with my mate so I didn't buy mine.... but I have seen it being quoted at a muffler store in malaga for I think $400-500 fitted for just the muffler

I haven't got a varex system. Still stock atm but decided to go for a butler built exhaust. As the noise factor is pretty big for me I might actually have an extra resonated fitted by norm butler granted I still get a recent boxer rumble + performance increase. I don't know if anyone here can vouch for that.

I've seen so many comments saying that a varex is illegal due to the fact that it alters the amount of emissions coming from the car. For some reason I cannot find any concrete answer on this.

MMS + S-Technic don't seem as keen on using X-Force products as they are on using someone like norm butler. Not 100% sure on why this is. It also kind of annoyed me that at the time the 'official' reseller of X-Force products in WA wouldn't even do the wiring for the Varex tip.

I hope I don't regret my decision to go with a butler built system, hopefully the neighbors won't go crazy on me on one of my late night returns ;p

There are some prices on the thread I linked you to. Depends if you're going full TBE or not. Keeping in mind that if you get the full TBE you may be inclined to get the car tuned as well pushing the end bill up by a fair bit.
