Default 42 Draft Designs 225 3" Cat-Back / Turbo-Back Pre-Release Information

Everyone at 42 is beyond excited to finally make progress on our 3" cat-back for the 225. Though we're not ready for an official release, final systems are on the shelf and ready to ship.

The story behind these systems is short, but takes place over quite a time span. In the fall of 2007 I built the original prototype for my TT. I drove this prototype for over a year before we reached a point where duplication of my prototype was possible. (time, space, busyness) My prototype went under the knife in the fall of 2008. We built tooling and then spent significant time experimenting with various mufflers and muffler combinations. The final muffler setup is a result of my goal to eliminate drone. Like the rest of our exhaust product line, this cat-back uses our custom flanges, custom bent piping, TIG welds, and custom tips.

I am very confident in the design, construction, fitment, appearance, and overall value of this cat-back. Mated to our 3" downpipe, my TT has been ripping down the road for over a year. Though the system looks rather odd on the floor, each bend, flange, and hanger is in place for perfect fitment in the TT's limited exhaust tunnel. The tip fitment is literally perfect. Exact. Check out the following pre-release pictures:









Some detail of the system:

* Designed to bolt to our 225 3" downpipes
* Adjustable flanges allow for perfect fitment on all TTs
* Mandrel bent 3" aluminized steel tubing
* Fully TIG welded
* Available with or without resonator
* Extensive high quality gaskets & hardware included
* Magnaflow rear muffler provides true division of exhaust gases and sound
* Rear muffler completely hidden from view by other drivers
* 304 stainless steel polished double-wall tips (no logos or engraving)
* 100% MADE IN THE USA

What's keeping us from an official release?

* I need to define pricing
* I need to publish installation instructions
* Final pictures, description, and website placement

Just details really. As I mentioned above, everything you see in the pictures is the final product, aside from the filth on my car. Pricing will be defined in the coming days. Installation instructions, pictures, and final website placement will come soon. In the meantime, anyone interested in a system please shoot us an email at sales@42draftdesigns.com. Any questions or comments are always welcome.

Thanks for looking!

Evan & Everyone @ 42
