This is the company that manufactures the exhaust for the LX cars, it's their first North American venture as they normally make high end OEM exhaust systems for BMW and Mercedes. Maybe that'll EXPLAIN why they look a little difference than we're used to with American tin.

Not that we can get access to them but I thought you'd like to know.
