I can't hear the sounds:

It complained about MP4: No supported tracks found

 

are you talking about the clip of the 3" duals on my site? if so, it is a quicktime file, so you would need to have that to play it correctly.

 

Time for some sound clips and vids!?

 

Looks like a good system, right size, etc. Price is close to HKS, however, the shipping might be the deal breaker as the lowest price you are offering is the same as HKS shipped. And I know about the test pipe section, I have:
Stock Cats with xtra bungs
Hi Flow Cats with xtra bungs
Test pipes with xtra bungs
Resonated test pipes with xtra bungs
so the savings aren't there for me, I already have boo coo pipes.

What price are we looking at shipped for example to 40175?

 

if ya sold alot of those extra pipes, you would have it half paid for, lol

shipping is usually about $50-60. hks uses just an H crossover to their system. we use the best designed X pipe, which is far more effective in it's purpose than a simple H crossover. again, this stuff is welded and fitted by hand, not a machine. we use zero tolerance during fitment, which means we shoot for not even seeing daylight inbetween the joints before we weld them. this makes for a super strong weld that will never break on ya.

most people will need to get highflow cats or test pipes along with the hks, then have to have the extra bungs welded in. $1300+$175 (average)+ $75 for bungs. $1550, my system starts to sound like alot better deal on a very high quality product.

Good point. I am amazed myself on how many cat replacements I tried until I got to the right ones! The Xerd test pipes were fantastic for power, but were loud and gurgled on decel. The Kinetix HF are good for sound, but did restrict power. The ebay resonated TPs are the best, sound like the HF, power like the Xerd.

You forgot to mention the point that brings me back to your gb, your pipes will be 2.5" diameter, the HKS pipes are 60mm, 60 millimeter = 2.362 204 724 inch, so you are larger without going extreme. I will keep your pipes on the list, waiting for final pictures and sound file. Thank you.

 

are we going to be able to hear this on a NA Z?

 

As soon as scott ships it to me lol. That 2.5 is mine he is test fitting and showing off!
That tip looks freakin awsome. The integerated tip is a big difference in looks.

 

yeah it looks pretty nice

i wish it had a thinner tip wall and a larger diameter slightly though

i like the EVO2 and HKS Dual Ti Tips (burnt looks cool), however I don't like how the tip is, well, a tip...how you can see the smaller diameter pipe inside as a separate piece

did i read that right...does this exhaust delete the cats?

 

Yes it deletes the cats. Its not a test pipe and a cat back... its a full headerback exhaust, that follows a different path than a normal exhaust to maximize flow. The front pipe portion is at a lower angle and more straight. The reason why i like the tips is because its doubled unlike the thin tips on most exhaust. I like the APS, stillen and nismo tips for the same reason, but i hate the big stock type muffler. I like 2 smaller mufflers..

 

I have kind of made a decision, if that is possible for me. If you get the 10+ needed for the $1250, I will be in on the group buy, and will also get your solid motor mounts to offset any problem with the lack of flex section. Just hoping for the 10+, otherwise I will get the HKS or the new Injen Ti TE.

 

flex wont be a problem anyway, so dont waste your money if ur getting it for that reason. The exhauyst is on rubber hangers. At no point is it on a metal hanger. Flex sections are kinda iffy to me. At most, they'll prevent vibration, but twisting..i dont really know about.
The solid mounts however will increase power output, and i have my own theory that it'll improve shifting.
I feel that the engine twists and also twists the tranny which makes a notchy shift at higher RPMS.

 

I have the PE TT kit with the SS manifolds, they have been known to crack, better safe than sorry I may say. For $100 vs. $1600 for cast manifolds, I think I'll go with the motor mounts. I was headed that way anyway.

 

ya, i have had flex sections break on me about 4 times with other stock style exhausts (on other cars). the pipes themselves can bend quite abit. also, since it is going back into the X pipe, which is nearly right on the centerline of the motor rotation, you get very little movement after that point, which is almost the same area others put their flex sections. clearance is alot better with the 2.5" system, but flex pipes can induce swaying of the exhaust and cause interference sometimes. our welds are so strong infact, you can highly bend and stress the system and after a couple high heat cycles, (floor it a few times or hit the dyno) the exhaust will anneal itself and stay in that position permanently.

 

tell ya what. to get the list started here, i will give ya $50 off of the solid motor mounts, and go for $1300 on the exhaust. basically same deal, but makes me feel i'm getting my asking price on the exhaust, lol.

this deal is open for everyone else too!!

 

Man, you drive a hard bargin. Just get that sound file to me, and if it sounds good, we have a deal senor.

Thanks.

 

the one time only weekend sale!! everything at svrtech must gooooooo.......


i'm gunna make that sound clip tonight. will get it posted as soon as i can.

 

cmon, scooty
is my exhaust done yet been waitin on ya forever.

 

I'm interested, very interested. It's been MONTHS choosing the right setup and this may be the one. Whens the cutoff for the group buy again? Also what are the cons of your solid motor mounts, other than increased vibration throughout the car? Will i run into problems when i have my car serviced(Car is still new, only a couple months old)/refuse to repair work. I forgot the act as well to protect me from the refusal of service. If anyone knows what i am talking about help me out here.

Also sorry about the jumbled and scattered response, pretty tired here.

 

ok, got the clip tonight. i will not be able to post it for a day or 2 though. i'm not sure the clip will do it justice though. i had my friend drive my car after we made the clip, to hear it myself. it has alot of the same sounds as the 3" system. the low burble and the decel sound is wicked.
i have heard some of the other aftermarket systems, and they sound predictable. this does not sound like a Z. i did find the resonance point though, and it is around 3500-4000rpm, so normal cruising sound will not be compromised.
after hearing with my own ears, i wanted to jump back in my car!!! and drive myself again!
back on point here. at the point and boost level i am running, i did definately feel a boost in torque. i know this exhaust will work great for n/a and lower boost cars. s/c guys will gain alot out of this size and design also. i did notice my car going rich now with this 2.5" set up. it makes me strongly suggest a dual 3" set up for anyone over 500rwhp on a turbo. an s/c will react perfect with this set up.
the sound of the car makes you want to rape and pilage lesser cars!! it is pretty much demanding an encore. so i was happy with it.

will post the clip as soon as i can.
