Tests. Well, this is not going to be "proven and tested" but trust me if i tell you that it takes months to properly design a straight pipe :)

Awesome news.

A hi-flow cat option would be nice for those of us with emission requirements.

Flash, if you DO happen to have ANY insight on what this will sound like, paired with a HKS Hi-Power... Definitely let me know. I just have a feeling that switching to any mid pipe may cause me to have to change my exhaust...which I really like my single. I just don't want something so loud that I can't even hear myself think...(which is what happened with the Agency Power exhaust as seen here...

..Which btw..I red lined and all that..but I didn't break the speed limit. Honest. That should give you an idea of how loud this thing is regardless.. :/)

Anyways, looking forward to this. I thought RB was going to be the only answer, but looks like I should've trusted Ray when he said long ago "I have something hot coming...just wait a while ;)"

We do have a local with the HKS Hi-Power single. We can do a clip when this is ready to go. We will be working on two models of this pipe. Single and Dual resonated. So you'll be able to pick the sound level you want.

This is an option we are working on also.
Finding a Hi-Flow cat with the quality and longevity we demand is not easy. Well it is but it gets real expensive.

bse50 04-03-2009 08:57 AM

Yeah, i'm doing some paperwork to add general infos about midpipes. I'm going broke lol
EDIT: i know what catalyzer to use but it is really expensive :p

I'm glad to see the response to this thread! I'll be bringing my camera with me today and hopefully we can take a break in the middle of our sale and get some quick video of my car doing a few passes for people to hear.

I honestly didn't realize how much I hated the raspy sound of my exhaust. I truely am happy with this pipe and would pay good money for my car to sound the way it does. Something tells me I'll be keeping this pipe on my car for "Testing" for a while ;-).

I think you need the "Dual" version Todd. I heard you going down Peco's last night when you left. And I was in the back yard. :Eyecrazy:

Ah see, I'm not one of those people who really is interested in being quiet. I'm just sick of being confused with a honda! :Eyecrazy:

dondo 04-03-2009 10:01 AM

yay! i've been waiting for this..

Motomouse 04-03-2009 12:39 PM

Yes finally :) get to work guys and make an exhaust with it :)

onefatsurfer 04-03-2009 12:48 PM

My rx7store pipe gets a bit raspy at certain rpm ranges. It sounds great up to like 3500, then sounds loud and raspy until 5000, then sounds great again..

Will this pipe maintain smooth volume transitions? If so, I'd probably be down for one if it's not too expensive...

Jedi54 04-03-2009 12:50 PM

awesome news Flashwing!
You guys need to test this on a Racing Beat exhaust.
Also, get a Hi-flow cat version! (hint hint, wink wink)

Yeah, you just took the words right out of my mouth... lol. But like Easy said, if you guys test it on a HKS hi power..that'll be awesome. Really want to hear the results. Like you heard in that video.. I wasn't even SEEN and I was heard that far away.

bureau13 04-03-2009 02:00 PM

Ditto on the Racing Beat exhaust.

DarthRX8 04-03-2009 02:07 PM

I know what I am spending my deployment cash on :)

Long Tube header?
Propane fuel system?

Zelse 04-03-2009 09:59 PM

If Ray does a header, I pray he doesn't do the 3 runner way just to save money on production and do the 4 header (middle header split into two) design... If you're doing that Ray, add me as first to the list, so that way I don't have to drop $1300 for a Knight Sports header.
