Ok just got off the phone with Culver at GTF. Heres what I need for all this to get rolling. First off I need a commitment of atleast 10 people for the group buy, he'll determine the final price after the test fit and build, but for now I've negotiated a max $ of 230. Don't need money upfront, just need the word of atleast 10 of you, that I wont be stuck with $2000 worth of downpipes and an empty checking account. If the price is higher than 230 for some odd reason, the deal is off, but if its 230 or under you are expected to follow through with the deal. Next, I need a local to donate their car for a day to the shop. Preferrably someone who has the CS series exhaust system on their cars, but as this is designed to bolt up to the stock exhaust a stocker will do also. Guys this isnt my shop and we're not doing this guy any favors, hes actually taking time out of his shop schedule to make a product for us, so that means I can't promise a free DP or any sort of discount beyond the GB for the person who sacrifices their car for a day. The only thing I can offer is a thanks and top spot on the GB list(even infront of me). Finally here are the final specs for the DP, I will relay this info to Culvar tomorrow night unless enough of you feel otherwise. The initial DP will be a 2.5" straight off the turbo to the end of the first section at the xmember(this means bye bye crappy s-pipe, unlike with some of the other DPs currently on the market!). It will be designed so that you can add a bolt-on cat or leave it catless, whichever you desire. It will have an 02 bung and be a completely stainless unit. At the moment it is still to be determined if it will have a flex pipe on it, this largely depends on the test fit stage. As far as when this will get under way. well as soon as I get 10 yes posts and a volunteer he can begin work as early as the end of this week. I've tried to cater to the majority of suggestions in the thread thus far. A 3" unit will also be available after the initial batch, but the majority wanted 2.5 and unless you're pushing over 275whp you really dont need any bigger than that.
