Update...boys and girls we will have the prototype finished and on the msp by next friday! I just got to see the raw pipes(still have to weld in a bov flange and paint them) and im creamin...I'm staying true to my word and hardpipes will be $200. Heres how this will work. The pipes will start as raw pipes, this means they'll be freshly bent and thats about it. Everything else on them will be for you to decide. This means you pick the bov flange type(or stock tubes), color and other features you want for the pipes. The basic hardpipes will indeed be 200. This includes stock bov tubes, painted and sealed, silicon connector hoses, professional clamps(not the sissy autozone type), basically the same damn thing turbohoses.com is selling for 400 bucks! We just wont have chrome, i know you guys are soo upset b/c it adds 10hp! hehe. For those of you who need greddy/hks/etc flanges instead we'll charge you whatever it costs us to get the flanges(no markup). We're negotiating a deal with a flange wholesaler right now to see just how cheap we can get them. We will also have intakes very very shortly, but our first priority was to get the hardpipes out....hehe on another note i finally have the blue letters under my name, thanks antoine! so it looks like im legal!!! Keep posting questions and such....I'll start a new thread next week when I have pics of the finished pipes...thanks again guy for the positive posts, if we have a strong following for hardpipes, you can expect midpipes and a very affordable FMIC kit to come sooon after
 
Excellent!

Bump for midpipes!

oh yea i guess i should also mention that assuming all goes as well as the first set, these will be single pipes, this means no welds just smooth curves...cant promise, but its looking pretty good...
 
Sounds awesome, can't wait to see the finished product...when is the 2.5" mandrel-bent cat-back exhaust (with a resonator and no muffler) coming out? Wink wink, nudge nudge...That would be sweet.

DSM how much do u think the cat back is gonna be with NO muffler and NO resonator ? 3 Inch ... im about to get one but its gonna be crushed if its a good price ill just wait for yours .. i know its too early for a price on that but whats the estimate
 
DSM you should prototype a P5 with an hks axle-back and make the mid-pipe or (cat-back) for it because like me those of us would really like to just add on the cat-back section and keep the axle-back portion w/ hks muffler since it looks so sweet.
 
already have a p5 midpipe in the works, i have a local guy that will be coming out for the test fit....so basically p5 and msp midpipes are looking to be available here in say 3-4weeks...might be sooner depending on how many days straight i can go without sleep..im currently working 2 jobs to finance the shop, and working the midnight shift to get the hardpipes and midpipes finished...as far a a full exhaust...that isnt even on the new products page of my mind yet...not saying it wont happen, but it'll be 3-4 for midpipes and more than likely another 3-4 for a full exhaust protype...more than likely it'll be a 3" version of CS current 2.4" exhaust setup for right around the same price. But since my survival depends on what you guys want, I'm more than likely persuaded by the power of #s. That is if someone contacts me and says we have 10+ people on a GB for midpipes when can you have them made. I'd be highly inclined to step up the pace on production.

OK I made a thread....for the pipe from the cat to the muffler. For making a axleback (ie HKS Hiper) to a true catback system.

Ok I'm confused... I'm interested in the real mid-pipe (the stock pipe that has the two cats on it) in 3" piping. Is that gonna be available? Sorry but the mid-pipe/cat-back thing is throwing me off.

#6 is what we are wanting.

We need a diagram like that for the MSP so that people can understand the difference between the S pipe, J pipe, midpipe, & cat-back.
 
It's pretty much the same except the S pipe would be number 0 above the j pipe. The j pipe is number 1.

Right?
