It kind of reminds of the xA exhaust then....so a band wraps around stock mid pipe and the new exhaust to create a better seal? That's cool. So if I were to order one of these it comes with exhaust pictured above and a v clamp and I remove OEM gasket for install? I am curious because I currently have a small exhaust leak and the exhaust I have (not stock) I am not so happy with. This looks good and a pretty good price soo.....Thanks for the feedback!

Hope the OP doesn't mind us chiming in to this question.
Here is a description of the exhaust:
PTUNING Axle-Back Exhaust features:
* T304SS mandrel-bent tubing.
* T304SS exhaust hangers.
* T304SS lightweight V-Band connections (instead of 2-bolt flanges).
* Eliminates exhaust gaskets and thereby any potential gasket leaks.
* Fully polished exhaust system with mirror-polished muffler & exhaust tip.
* T304SS Adapter for connecting to factory or other aftermarket mid-pipe.
* T304SS easily-accessible rear O2 bung for dyno tuning (Installed on exhaust rear section).
* Eliminates faulty lean-AFR readings when trying to dyno a vehicle with a 3" exhaust using a tailpipe sniffer (To be used by your dyno tuner).
* All components are carefully designed with maximum ground clearance in mind.
* We've added an extra horizontal hanger & mounting bracket for the rear exhaust section to eliminate excessive exhaust tip movement during hard cornerning (we discovered this problem during our timeattack sessions - burnt rear valance). Most aftermarket Tc exhaust systems only utilize one rear exhaust hanger making it difficult to control the side to side movement of the rear section during cornering.
ONE YEAR WARRANTY.
MADE IN THE U.S.A.

If a Tc is 2inchs lower then stock how is clearance? I'm very interested in buying a Ptuning axle back .. Is there better quality sound clips available?
Also when will the front half of the kit be for sale to connect to a turbo(midpipe,downpipe)? (unless I'm blind and I just missed it on your website)

Just poppin' in to say the exhaust is still perfect. Hasn't moved or changed tone one bit since I installed it.
As for clearance on springs, the only problem I have had was backing it onto a parking block. I back into spots at the UPS I work at (they want us to I guess it is more safe) and backed into it, scratching the bottom of the muffler. Unless your backing into things, you should be fine. I was maxed out on coilovers for a day and have been on TRD's for a month now with no clearance problems during normal driving.

BTW: We have received quite a few inquires about the common "how does the exhaust sound, how is fitment, etc?" questions. Well, now you can find out for yourself. We now offer 100% Money Back Guarantee! If for some reason, you don't like the look, fitment, or sound, simply return it. This may be an industry first...to offer such a guarantee.
See our site for more details.
Regards,
Mike @ PTUNING

Awesome design. Very similar to my old Hayward & Scott that I had on my WRX (imported from England). Sounds great. I can vouch for the quality of their systems after seeing their full exhaust system on a buddies car! Well done guys! I might just have to make a drive out to the shop here soon and pick one up!

We currently have a few Scion tC customer cars with the PTUNING exhaust system at our facility. Most were brought here for full project built (incl. turbo kit, exhaust, dyno tune, some with built motor, fuel system, and meth. kit). Most are currently oversea serving our country and will be back soon to enjoy their new PTUNING modifed Scion tC.

I am bringing this thread back from the dead! I totally forgot to do a review of this exhaust. I had a mandrel bent system on my car until I switched to a Tanabe Concept G (which was awesome) until I got rearended and needed a new exhaust. I got the PTuning Axle Back for a N/A tC. This exhaust is even better then my Concept G and I loved that one! It is top notch across the board from build quality to sound to looks. I love it. One of the best upgrades I have done! Very nice. If anyone is out there debating getting one, totally jump on it!
