Yo guys! Remember me? Well after a long time being down in the dumps with crappy finances and trying to go back to school, I finally got a nice promotion managing a restaurant in which I waited tables for 5 years. This included a BIG pay raise and I now could get back to racing my P5 and start saving up for the BIG TURBO. Anyways....
This exhaust is no longer being made...until now. Here's the story:
I love this exhaust, and unfortunately after 3 years of racing and bad NJ weather, I ripped a hole in the muffler which cannot be repaired. I thought of getting a racing beat, but didn't like the throaty sound compared to the Supra sounding Team Moon.
Everybody around the neighborhood including the guys at sunoco, folks at the meat shop in which I do pick ups for the restaurant...etc, knew my car and could tell when I was around the corner just by its exhaust sound. Being the only Laser Blue P5 in the area...well I guess you could say that my car had it's own spirit...
So anyway, after much thinking, I called and talked to Charlie of Team Moon and tried to convince him to make another exhaust for me. He declined, (actually sounded kind of saddened, probably due to the bad sale of the exhaust) and would NOT supply me with the part number for the muffler(?!@!@#). He did though give me the phone number of the Muffler Shop and the name of the guy who originally built the exhaust for him.
This is where I am now, and after shipping my dead TM exhaust from NJ, to its maker in GA, I'm now working with the owner of Grand Mufller to remake the Team Moon exhaust for my P5. I hope to design it a lil' bit different with a bigger diameter piping (2.5", instead of 2.25") for my future turbo upgrade, and use 304 Stainless Steel instead of the aluminized muffler. Tommorrow, we'll be on the phone together to plan it out. Wish me luck.
BTW: I'm naming it the TEAM FUNK Exhaust.
