Just installed Breathless Performance exhaust twin tip today and I was blown away..
This System from Breathless Performance Rocks!My Smart is definitely faster..

1) Hands down the system is exceptional quality with perfect welds and the highest quality Stainless that is thick.
2) The center exit with high polished Stainless Steel twin pipes give the car another
notch of engineering that only adds one more reason for people to say that's cool.
3) Installation was done less than an hour including valance cut out that
Breathless supplies a template for.
4) The best part is the system sounds incredible. My exhaust is the sport edition that Breathless offers. The take off is a rising pitch but maintains a low sound with out the drone sound. The system is surpisingly a nice sound that I ended up riding around for almost 2 hours after the install.
5) The lower rpm lag you could feel with the stock is now gone. The pick up is definitely better and stronger. You can actually feel a pull through the rpms that was not there before.
6) I thought the car got attention before, now it has become worse. People love the sound of the car and they are now asking questions about the exhaust and it has been 3 hours now.

to say the least I am very impressed with the exhaust and it looks amazing on the car. The most important thing is Ernie at Breathless answered the phone every time and helped me with any question I had because I am not a mechanic and to be honest I was a little apprehensive about doing this myself. Ernie definitely delivered on what he promised me and I have no idea on this stuff at all. So I will sumarize the process below and it will be basic because I am a basic installer with no experience.

1) Do not even bother jacking up the car you can lay underneath it no problem. Also the oil filter is a little bigger than the drain plug if you have not looked yet.
2) remove the valance with the two screws and the pins. Very simple just make sure no one puts protectant on before you remove.
3) You will need a 3/8 wrench. A small one will do and another wrench to put some torque country style on the 3/8 wrench to bust the bolts loose.
4) There are two flange bolts and one bolt on top that is attached to the heat shield so there are three bolts.
5) Shimmy the support arms from the rubber boots (exhaust hangers) for the system and it will come out. (be sure to spray wd40). Also be careful the flex pipe is sharp so wear one glove if you plan on grabing. Also save the gasket and reuse for the new breathless.
6) now reverse the procedure except start with the bolt toward the front of the car first and get it threaded with the gasket in between. Next make sure the gasket is postioned and thread the bolt toward the back last. I put the exhaust in the exhaust hangers first and then threaded the two flange bolts. This seemed to work best. Remember you will have one bolt left over from the top. I believe it was smaller than the flange bolts maybe 8 mm 12 sided wrench??? Not sure.
7) With the template supplied by Breathless Performance I measure the distance that was on the instruction sheet and used a jig saw with a blade made for cutting plastic. I followed up with sand paper to smooth the edges from the outside in.

That was it. I did have a helper to hold the sytem sometimes but that was the only assistance I received. I will say be patient on the two flange bolts they are accesible but with some patience. I only used wrenches on the bolts. I am sure swivels and sockets and air wrenches would have been easier and faster but all in all it is a do able project that took me one hour and 15 minutes from Box to driving down the street.

I will post some pictures if I can figure out how to on the board! Very nice product and exceptional engineering. Breathless did a great job and you can tell they know how to get performance from installing their parts.

Ordered mine today after cancelling my previous order from Doug Thorley. Was a bit disturbed by the Thorley delays and prefer the look of the twin center tips.

Can't wait to install it.

Ken, so sorry to hear that you cancelled the DTH exhaust due to delays and hopefully the BPP twin exhaust works out for you. I know how it feels to have your bubble of excitement burst each time they announce a delay. Still hoping that the DTH gets released today as promised.

Anyway this question is for Ernie, regarding the touring version. Are they both the same in performance or is their a downgrade in the hp in the touring version? Do they look the same? Very interested if the DTH does not fall through.

The look is the same on the outside. We just install a extra cone baffel inside. Sound is down about 10 to 15% but hp is also down about 1 to 2 hp from our sport version.

When you say it's all stainless, I assume that includes the sound deadening material, so I was wondering about the baffling or packing. Is the muffler mechanically baffled like a typical automotive muffler, or packed like a typical aftermarket motorcycle exhaust can? Might be interested in the Touring version if it's mechanically baffled.

Thanks,
Arch

Wishing!!

Wish you could have kept the $399.00 special going for awhile longer - say through June. Going to $499.00 pushed it out of our reach for at least six months or more.........
