Dale,

Nice way to get back on topic! :D

My "pipeline" is planning one. I will keep you all up to date, but we will have to wait until the new year.

Plan is for a mid-pipe with hi-flow cat, and a set of headers. First set will be custom made, and then jigged. Performance tested by an independant tuning shop.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hymee,

Thanks for that look forward to seeing some results.

Cheers,
Dale.

Any update on this exhaust? Is it for sale yet? Where do you buy and any soundclips? It looks awesome. What would shipping and total be to 78641? Thanks

Leegina,

After a sucessful prototype, we made a master. It is on my car at the moment, and supposed to be coming off very soon. When we take it off, we will be able to make the jig, and then go into production. Some folk have paid deposits to help get started, for which I am most appreciative. When I get the master off my car, I will weigh it and get some quotes for US shipping. You are not the only one from the US to enquire.

Perhaps if we could organise a group buy for the US we could get a better shipping rate. I am keen to see some stateside.

There is more info on these threads, including details on a slight (but better) design mod, sound clips, and dyno charts, and more happy cutomer comments from Wildcard.

Looks tuff. Sounds nice, no drone, all what has been said before.

It also passed the noise meter test. It was 86 - 88dB at 6000RPM (3/4 RPM of Max Power). The limit is 90dB.

let me know when you have dyno it with and without it on the same condition Hymee... eager to know

timbo

Don't the dyno results linked above show this? Also, I don't recall additional power being one of Hymee's major claims, but there appears to be c.1-2 RWHP in it.

skc

very tempting. It would be really cool if we got flames as well.

skc

love the sound

I believe the flames are due to the tune. If you want flames, I'm sure we cam program them into a custom tune when that comes... with the relevant disclaimers etc!

Glad you like the sound. I miss the sound now. We just took it off to have the jig made. Progress!!

Taka, I posted the dyno charts, both corrected to SAE J whatever it is. That is about as close as you can get to "same conditions". If that is not what you mean, can you please clarify?

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hitman my friend, there is no doubt about you. First it’s the SS and now this.

That Les sure does nice work. (‘Though I’m not sure about you stopping him working on “real” cars.)
Makes you wonder where the “expert” custom shops get their prices from.

RichardM

P.S. Can you, Les and Mark give ME flames?

Wildcard

Sorry dudes, but no flames from the Hymee exhaust. Believe me, I tried REALLY hard to get them, but couldn't. I drove my car hard at high revs for about 15 minutes and then revved the **** out of it with a video camera at the ready, but didn't see any flames.

Hymee

I still reckon it is the tune, not the exhaust. Remember the guys in the US got flames out of the stock exhaust when they tried hard enough.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Wildcard

I think you are right there Hymee. The US ECU map seems to be richer than ours, which makes flames more likely. Here is that photo of the guy in the US who got flames out of his stock exhaust.....

You need a lot of heat to produce a blue flame, that thing has no cat...!
