You should offer a Ti tip on the Shockwave

 

Have you seen the Harakiri version yet? Well the final mock up isn't put yet, but its a single with the attached muffler. I'll post pics of mine as soon as Tony gets one made for me. It should look great with my bumper tuck/quiet the car down a lot from the Shockwave.

Having installed my Shockwave, i bet i could swap between the Harakiri and shockwave tail section in less that 2 minutes. Mild to wild when wanted.

 

i said the same thing 5 days ago-look at the previous page.

 

Tony, I'm very interested. Please forgive my noob questions, but does the VQ exhaust system package include the XYZ pipe as well for $1250 shipped?

I'd be putting it on my '06 with stock cats. I need to keep the cats because:
1. I have to pass emissions
2. Stock cats required for B-Stock
3. No sense in unnecessarily worsening air quality problems.

 

No, the XYZ is separate, but as long as you keep your stock cats on you can put on any catback system hardware and it will be smog compliant.

 

Random Pics-

 

iStan,

All the people in your sig... Were they banned or something?

 

^^ Yep

 

most of them are back though i believe

 

that exhaust looks great on iStan's car. That whole back end is awesome to me because it is all purpose-built. Cheers

 

Not my car
It's Terrasmak, the loveable Wheel/tire ****.

I don't have sigs displayed. I forgot I still had that.

 

has anyone know if you can pass emissions with test pipes -> xyz -> high flow cat?

 

That depends a lot on your local requirements. Some places will and some won't.
If other aftermarket converters are passable in your area, these likely will too.

 

an understanding on Code of Federal Regulations is necessary particularly 40CFR part 86 (and others)... here is some info:

FEDERAL LAWS
Please familiarize yourself with the following federal laws and regulations before ordering
CONDITIONS FOR REPLACEMENT
To any person repairing or installing any exhaust system, the Clean Air Act, as amended 1990, requires that:
AFTERMARKET CATALYTIC CONVERTERS MAY ONLY BE INSTALLED IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:

1. If the vehicle is missing a converter; *

2. If a State or local inspection program has determined that the existing converter has been lead-poisoned, damaged, or otherwise rendered ineffective and needs replacement. Retain a copy of this statement from any government inspection or enforcement agency for your records;

3. If the vehicle is over five (5) years old, or has more than 50,000 miles, or eight (8) years old or 80,000 miles for 1995 and newer model vehicles, AND a legitimate need for replacement has been established and documented.* This situation normally would include only plugged converters or those damaged to the point where unrepairable exhaust leaks are present. See * DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS below.
Catalytic converters are emission control devices which are designed to last the life of the vehicle and do not normally require replacement. Furthermore, if the vehicle is properly used and maintained, original converters are covered by the emissions control warranty for 5 years/50,000 miles, or 8 years/80,000 miles for 1995 and newer models. Federal law prohibits any person from replacing these devices except under limited circumstances (ABOVE).
* DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS *
In order to establish and document that the circumstances permitting replacement of an original or missing converter with an aftermarket converter meeting the required performance criteria exist, the Installer must complete the INSTALLER’S WARRANTY SHEET. The installer and the vehicle owner must sign the statement establishing and documenting catalytic converter replacement justification.

- A copy of the completed warranty sheet must be attached to the invoice and retained by the installer for six (6) months
.
- Also, the replaced converter(s), if any, must be retained by the installer for at least fifteen (15) days from the date of installation.

- The installer must install each replacement catalytic converter according to EPA policy, as described in the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR AFTERMARKET CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

EFFECTIVE BY FEDERAL POLICY, AUGUST 5, 1986
The following is the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations* for the proper installation of replacement catalytic converters:

1. Replacement catalytic converters may be installed only in situations as defined in the CONDITIONS FOR REPLACEMENT.

2. Replacement catalytic converters must be installed in the same location as the original converter.

3. Replacement catalytic converters must be the same type of converter as the original converter (i.e., oxidation, three-way, or three-way-plus oxidation);

4. Replacement catalytic converters must be the proper converter for the vehicle application as determined and specified by the manufacturer;

5. Replacement catalytic converters must be connected properly to any existing air injection or temperature or oxygen sensing components on the vehicle.

6. Replacement catalytic converters must be installed with all the other required converters for the particular application if more than one converter was installed originally by the vehicle manufacturer; or in the case of new aftermarket converters, if more than one converter was specified by the converter manufacturer;

7. Installers must complete the INSTALLER’S WARRANTY SHEET, and sign it, as also the vehicle owner.
*VIOLATIONS of one or more of these installation requirements could result in the installer being liable for a penalty of up to $25,000 for each violation, under provisions set forth in the EPA tampering prohibition law specified in Section 203 of the Clean Air Act, 42 US Code, Section 7522, amended in 1990, and under the CARB rules and regulations pertaining to aftermarket catalytic converters.

Any updates on the next selection on available muffler combo's. Maybe some pics of them.

 

Yes, they are in production now. My fabricator estimates 3-4 weeks to complete the first run.

 

What about a F/I application? Still on the backburner

 

Here in michigan, we do not have emissions test

 

I love how it angle like JIC.

 

I actually made some good progress on it last week.
