just to let you guys know, i just spoke with the maker of the test pipes, and he will be able to make them also in a 2.25 diameter. as far as for the light coming on, the only person that this has happend to was greddy4777, and his came on and then later came back off and has not come back on since. everyone else that has gotten a set from me has not had any lights come on at all..

I like the idea of a groupbuy for $200 shipped. Is this possible?

i mentioned the price of 200.00 and he said they wouldnt be able to do it. he normally sells them locally for 295.00 but that he was giving it to us at 250.00 because we are selling them through the website... sorry guys..

So it's 250+shipping??

Why is anyone going to pay $30-40 more for the competition if they aren't offering an extra benefit, especially since lsduniques are already proven to be of high quality and have solid gains.

I bought them because Zred called me the same day I emailed him about the pipes. He then called me a day later to say he was going to put in my order with a few others and asked me if I minded waiting a day or two for them to ship out. That is customer service.

I have emailed, pm'ed and posted for the competition numerous time and not a peep in return. I'm tired of waiting for "the other guy".

Thanks Zred! I'll post pics of the headers and cat pipes when they are back from the ceramic coater.

Am I the competition you are referring to? I just double checked my PM's because I thought maybe I missed yours, but I don't recall nor do I see any PMs from you.

How do I go about setting up a group buy? How is payment collected? Are they prepaid, etc?

Is there enough interest?

- Our pipes are 2.25" in diameter

- full stainless construction

- 3/8" thick laser cut flanges

we will be including hardware now very shortly as well.

I have always tried to relpy to PMs and emails several times a day and try my best to accomodate.

We are back in full stride now, with only 2 open orders, and we are doing production runs of 30 sets, so we should be able to keep up with the demand.

stainless steel polished $250

stainless unpolished $220

mild steel with a ceramic-silicone based coating

silver or competition blue $185

shipping and handling on any set is $13


We designed ours in 2.25" because that was what would mate up best with any aftermarket header, and most dual exhausts. 2.25" also matches the factory header and exhaust better than 2.5"

I think 2.5" with borla headers and FI would be awesome though, as an increse of over 100hp would definately call for a less restrictive exhaust, so I would definately recommend the 2.5" pipes for any FI application.

Thanks.

Well, I actually think the coated pipes look great, in both silver and competition blue (I love the blue)

but..... even with a coating, you will still get corrosion around flange edges, inside piping, etc.

With stainless, you don't have to worry about any corrosion issues.
