That's the attitude we're looking for! hehe :ylsuper:



And Vice, sorry I didn't get around to calling RP today before you did. Got swamped at work, so thanks for handling that and everything else you've done for this GB.

i have the b&b test mid-pipe + resonator w/ turbo. it's bit too loud for my taste, so i was wondering if this would quieten down my exhaust noise significantly.

are there any sound clips of this w/ or w/o turbo?

would this super-cat last w/ turbo? or would it burn up every year or so?

thanks. $ isn't really the problem, so as soon as i get the answers, i'll be most definitely in.

yes,
it would help a lot, but what exaust are you running??

beers :beer:

i have greddy on rite now. sammy's hks sounded very quiet, so i may opt for that one... of course there's always the looming danger of cracking my 1yr CD to get the jic titanium :mdrmed: why do u ask?

it will be a lot less loud with the cat.... the greedy is a mid loud exaust... the cat will take down a notch or two...

beers :beer:

thanks.

lastly, do u know whether the supercats will last awhile? hopefully at least a few yrs w/ the turbo.

i've heard people breaking the cat membrane w/ the turbo or just melting it shut, and that's why i'm concerned.

you are right, it doesn't last with turbo.

I'm in, but I'll be gone for the next two weeks, is it ok if i buy it for the group buy price when i get back?

i am very interested. i was wondering also, is it limited to around 20 people? if there are a lot more than 20 people could the price be dropped even more? what are the dimensions and weight of the actual box to be shipped?

i would prefer to wait if i could get the most updated version of the product. this means hanger or whatever else. i know most say a hanger isnt necessary but it is nice to be sure that you wont need it rather than thinking what if i need it, then hearing a rattle after you install it.

I cannot answer the Turbo Question off-hand. I will have to ask Chris @ RP. The quality that RP is known for makes me want to say you will have no issues, but the facts are that I do not know if the Turbo will super-heat the Super-Cat! (LOL- I kill Myself... NOT) I wil have an answer from the pros later if that is OK. NgoRX8 may know something more?

Macius8:
As I have not a limit or cut-off date from RP yet, I would say if you wish to participate lets lock you in. I am pretty sure 2 weeks from now they will honor the price if they see your screen name was on the list prior to the GB ending... if it has ended by that time. Worse case scenario is you don't get the discount. Right?

scsi:
When I contacted RP I suggested a minimum of 20 to make it viable for them. When Chris got back to me it was clean and simple... $45 off + shipping. IF in the next few days or so we double that number I may try to negotiate a few beans more off. This would mean that everyone would have to wait a bit longer to have the strength to suggest it. I have mentioned in the past that with these GB's it is not uncommon for about 20% to never follow-through for whatever reason. The AFE Short Shifter GB proved me wrong by a long shot, but we need to make sure that we as the group purchase at least the minimum we promise to. My bargaining powers are only as strong as our groups purchasing abilities and follow-through.
Basically, it is all of us that make these GB's work... NOT ME!!!
I will ask the shipping dimension/weight info for you and reply back.
It is your choice to hold out... I do not think we will do another GB on the RP Sup-Cat anytime soon after it does end. If I may be a wise-guy here... you could just wait for the MazdaSpeed RX-7 too... Any year now that will be coming out!!! Seriously though... I am not a salesman. It is your call.

Still in.

I would like to let this run till Monday before we try to start to anti-up. So far the results are excellent. If we hit 35-40 people by then I will surely see if RP has the ability to cut the discount even deeper. Margins are defiantly an issue, so please do not get upset if they cannot cut it further.

thanks for the reply and ill be lookin forward to the dimensions. what i meant by waiting though is perhaps the people who really want the newest version could participate in this group buy but their part wont be shipped till it is ready, and whoever wants it now can have what is available? not sure how much more trouble this would be though, which is why im asking. if not, thats okay too. i myself would like the hanger, though most say its uncecessary i think of it like insurance that i wont have problems rather than i probably wont have problems.

definitely. please let me know.

thanks vice.

Vice, if it is not too much to ask, could you help me check out the shipping cost to Singapore? Thanks a million for the effort.

Is it still open for more buyers?? I want in!!!!

Yes it is Jonyjoe.

Toss me on the list - cash in hand. I *might* opt for an add-on resonator @ $80, but that's an after thought right now.

So, does it come with the hangers and bolts???

It is the newer more open Cat with the Gasket and Bolt kit included. Hangers are not included. It has been noted that they are not needed by RP. They will send a visual workaround reference if by chance you do have an interference issue.

Cool.....So, is there really significant gains and better gas mileage?

Further back in this thread..
Gas milage if any gained would be minimal at best.

Im in on this deal.
