Remember that they will start shipping when everyone has paid, the first 20 that is.

12hp on a *TOTALLY STOCK* car, or 12hp with every tweak in the book, no exhaust behind it, and a strong wind?

LOL... Great question and a reasonable one too. I am pretty sure that they havetested several configs and noted 9-15 HP from the wide scale. 12 is what is the genreal estimate.

So the answer is 9HP with stock and 15 with everything known to man on the car?

I doubt it. Unless I hear otherwise, I'm assuming it's 9-15 with every tweak. I'd be in if it was 12HP on a stock car.

they provide on their website a dyno chart that shows a 8.7hp gain with a greddy sp2 on both before and after

however this is just one case on one car. gains can also vary between dynos

So how did that conversation at RP go?

"We quote 12 HP because we see 9-15 HP gains, so let's post the dyno chart that shows an 8.7 HP increase"

Where's the 15 HP dyno? Or even the dyno that breaks 9 HP?

If I was RP I would say "That chart was using a version of the cat that is two revisions old".

But, I am not expecting anything more then 5hp from the cat to be honest.

There are still a lot of people that have not paid. Pony up or let us know you're out.

I'm just curious, but isn't this kinda low? I thought people are on average seeing 180+ on the dyno bone stock? The baseline was ~175hp with a catback already installed...

What is it that I'm missing?

(BTW -- If I had the money, I'd be getting this regardless...)

OK... So this is not for you then! It is very rare I get annoyed with people in the Group Buy threads , but you are just being a dick IMO. RP is a very reputable company and very well known in the 7 community. They have not made false claims in the past and it is not likely they would now. I am not a representative of RP or a sales person. Members and 8 owners that desired the Cat asked that I work a group-buy. We did and this is the offer. Let us say it only makes the car sound throatier and gains no HP. Does that make you feel better? Good... now you can go and **** on someone else’s fire.
If you want Major HP gains let me guide you... 20B, 26B, Turbo or SuperCharger. Intakes, Headers, Cats, Exhausts, etc... on the 8 will not make super HP like they do on a Mustang.
Just go to Ebay and by that little fuel saver 20HP gaining chip they sell there man. For Christ’s-sake.. why do you feel the need to hi-jack this thread? Move along... nothing for you to see here.
Respectfully,
Dan

This was posted earlier on. I guess I can forgive RP for not saying as low as 8.7 HP and as high as 15.2. I guess some other cannot?

1.) Does this cat have a heat shield?
Yes it does have a heat shield on top. The picture on the website is not current. I have seen quite a few pictures of it on the forum. If a good, clear and current picture is needed, it can be provided.

2.) Is this the New Higher-flowing more opened mesh version you all were working on?
This is the newer, freer flowing unit (not that the old one was an issue). The active metals content is even higher than before (platinum, palladium and rhodium)

3.) Can buyers opt to have the Hanger or resonators added to their cat prior to shipping?
a.) Do you have a flat rate for Hanger Service?
As of now, we do not have a shippable hanger solution. We will, but not right now. It is a bolt on hanger and can be added in the future. The subframe realignment has been effective in avoiding pipe to brace interference.
b.) Do you have a flat rate for Resonator Service?
We do have a stainless resonator that can be added, if desired. It is the same unit we use on the midpipe. This adds $80 to the total and is not a normally stocked item, but would not be an issue to produce.

4.) What are your rough claims of HP gains with this current Cat?
HP has been tested many times. We've seen as much as 15HP improvement and as little as 9HP. About 12HP is what we tell everyone is realistic.

5.) Will you all accept PayPal payments too?
Yes we do accept paypal. The address we use is paypal@rx7.com

I just got off the Phone with Mary and we are almost there... It does look like Friday they will begin to ship. I did not get an exact count but it sounded like 1-3 more and we hit minimum quota.

Maybe they could include a couple sales from outside the group buy, consider them part of the group buy, charge them the regular price, and get those that have paid shipped. Then when the others in the group buy get around to paying they can have theirs shipped then, or in the next 20 group ship package. Just a suggestion.
