Exhaust Depot - Fmic
"For the first 5 people of 10 to jump in it will be $690. The other 5 will pay $750."
"...prodcution will be more centered, pipes will be powdercoated black..."

Not sure what full price will be, but deffinetly a kit to watch IMO... I know their stuff for the Neon and Caliber SRT4's has great reviews at sweet prices compared to the $900-$1200 range other vendors seem to think stuff should cost for the MS3 lol.

Nice! Are these FMIC hard to install? I would like to get one in the near future.

The price looks nice but im not sure I want steel pipes,Aluminum would be much better.Steel likes to hold on to the heat...

 

[cmahlig]

i imagine steel is just the prototype

I dont think so,He runs a muffler shop so I guess he is in the steel business.I could be wrong tho.

Not sure if it matters but they'll be powdercoated.

I'm Exhaust Depot's test *****, i feel so use....

On a serious note, there is no question about E.D's quality work from other communities and its carried on to the MS3. I have his prototype exhaust, fmic and he's making some more stuff pretty soon (top secret s***!). That kit made a night and day difference with the car, i cant even begin to explain. We sat down to talk about design and he asked me why all the other vendors have so much piping, my answer was i dont have a clue.....all that pressure drop!?

The core we're using is 31x8x3, using 3!, yes 3 total pieces of piping. If install takes anyone over a hour and a half from start to finish and thats being conservative.......YOURE A TOOL!

Dialog from test drive:

Hector: go take it for a spin
Me: your ass is coming, if i blow and IC pipe that i didnt tighten your ass is pushing
Me: quick pressure test before we leave. * andrew does a 2500rpm clutch dump and lights the rubber up*
Me: im doing a 2500RPM punch.............HOLYY S***! do you feel that
Hector: **smiling** how much HP those other kits give?
Me: just over 20whp they claim
Hector: 20whp my ass, this s**t feel faster than that

We spend the next 5 mins driving with a koolaide smile back to the shop.

It looks like the hot pipe would come really close to the manifold for the people that have upgraded to the PG or DNP manifold.

What's the efficiency and pressure drop values?

The upgraded manifold issue was addressed. noticed there is a really high curve in the hotside pipe and it sits pretty high.

Hector does amazing stuff. I had several of his items on my Neon SRT-4. I will buy his MS3 stuff when I get to that point.

to clear up doubts about this kit clearing aftermarket manifolds.
