What's the difference between the resonated and non-resonated versions?
The resonated version adds extra silencing for a quieter, more refined tone. The non-resonated version leaves it out, so it is louder and more aggressive.
Which tailpipe finishes are available?
You can choose from: GT-115 Burnt Titanium, GT-115 Cerakote Black, GT-115 Polished, GT-115 Titanium, JET-115 Carbon Fibre. The finish is cosmetic and does not change the sound.
