The beauty of the sidewinder is if you call Tiger and tell him what cha got he builds around your requirements.
Hey Dennis I thought Tiger had a TIV system too.

Yup.

I had two concerns back then (14 months prior to getting my Type IV engine). One was my concern on how low it was. I have to enter/exit my driveway at a silly angle now with my Kamei spoiler. I'm not sure I could avoid scraping something if I had the spoiler and the exhaust.

The other concern was purely a personal preference. I wanted the exhaust to exit a stock apron. (I actually had to get a Euro-apron as it turned out.)

Back then, I figured I was 18-24 months away from a Type IV, so patience to see what else might develop or beome available on the market was easy. One of things that drew me to the engine I got was the exhaust was included.

If something of the quality of an A-1 that also exits through the normal apron cut-outs becomes available, I will probably snatch it up. I think my exhaust might have another year or two left in it.

We'll see.

The BAS system does all that and more, as it really isn't any lower that anything else on your engine. It also exits the stock apron, but with only one tail-pipe; you can always weld an extra dummy one next to it of course
Just a thought. Th exchange rates at the moment are not in your favour thought

libila,

I'm with Wally on this one. I bought an A-1 for my Ghia, however my first choice was a BAS.

The problem is that unless I was looking to pay a ridiculous amount in shipping, a BAS was just not going to happen, as there are no supplier that I could locate in the US or Canada.

The BAS was about 2x the cost of the A-1 as well (ceramic coated, of course)

Seeing as you are in Germany, the BAS may be the more affordable and/or attainable solution.
