Odd looking piece. The price is really scary.

BigT 04-18-2013 09:45 PM

Looks exactly like the topspeed peice. Where did you pick it up from? That is a great price.

I picked it up from Aaron here at: He is a very nice guy and had great reviews so I went ahead and ordered Tuesday and it showed up today!!! As far as it being a Topspeed exhaust...I don't know but the quality seems a bet better and I really like that the Tips look like the factory rolled ones, not some piece of metal cheapy from your local auto parts store.....

Dzel 04-18-2013 10:50 PM

The OD is very tenting to me since I'm only going to run this for race applications.

Dzel 04-19-2013 10:21 AM

Just spoke with Aaron very cool cat explained that this is a brand new company hence why the price has been lowered dramatically for introduction.

critical 04-19-2013 10:34 AM

how loud would this be? interested in dyno results as well.

is the y-pipe 69mm to 76mm? i've usually seen dual 2.5in to 3in piping. sorry. not good at reading these specs lol.

Shadezz 04-19-2013 10:41 AM

I will have a video up this weekend of take offs and cold starts...
I have one video up already of just the Exhaust itself......MoRe to Come folks!!

Dzel 04-19-2013 10:43 AM

2 3/4 inch piping. Not quite 3 inch and a little ovrr 2.5 perfect for my future plans.

I don't know if i'll be getting it dyno'd anytime soon, as I was just looking for a good sound and good looking exhaust. :hello:

Dzel 04-19-2013 10:46 AM

I'll post some vids too since I'm running resonated test pipes it will be some what of a louder and deeper tone

What are your future plans? I think he has test pipes too, but said it was really loud. (not for me I don't think)

Dzel 04-19-2013 10:49 AM

TT at 10 psi along with an oil cooler.

Dzel 04-19-2013 10:53 AM

Shadezz your video shows that you haven't made it available for mobile.

Shadezz 04-19-2013 10:57 AM

hmm was working for me....maybe because of the music!!! Did you go ahead and order the exhaust too?

Shadezz 04-19-2013 11:01 AM

how do you make it for mobile?

critical 04-19-2013 11:11 AM

i have resonated test pipes. curious of how loud it'd be and also what performance gains there would be.

Dzel 04-19-2013 11:31 AM

Yes I just got through ordering it. I love that they're based in Texas. I am a fan of loud exhaust especially at the race track. I watched the vids you played on my tv and the exhaust sounds awesome almost exotic

SPOHN 04-19-2013 12:06 PM

I hope for the best such as longevity. Just being in this business for 10 years price reflects a lot. No pun intended. Love to hear how it sounds.

Dzel 04-19-2013 04:13 PM

Exhaust comes with a 1 year warranty I'll for sure put it to the test.

The polish is good. Welds are spot on, at least on the vid. Price is incredible for the virtual quality.

How much weight savings?
Will you dyno?

Dzel 04-19-2013 05:02 PM

That's one thing I didn't ask was the weight and I don't know about Shadezz but I will not be able to dyno just the exhaust alone. From what Aaron said this is just an introductory price to get the business some acknowledgment.

Dzel 04-19-2013 08:10 PM

How's the install coming along Shadezz?

Shadezz 04-19-2013 09:20 PM

Just got done with work guys!!! Ill back her in the garage right now and the install starts very soon!!! I'll be doing a DIY photos and some video as I install so it will take a bit longer...

Also a few more pics of how it came in the mail and some more HD shots...

This is my first mod...so I guess I'll see if Beluga Racing is willing to set me up with someone local to do a real bolt on HP & TQ improvement dyno!!!

I'll also see If I can get the weight of the exhaust too!!!

Anyone know what he factory exhaust weights?

SPOHN 04-19-2013 09:39 PM

Don't quote me. I believe the stock exhaust is 30+. Like 36.

Dzel 04-19-2013 10:05 PM

I believe that's pretty close the FI exhaust comes in at. 22 lbs. I believe. Mine should be in Monday. Another thing I liked is that they use fed ex. I'm tired of UPS just leaving my orders on my door step. I would think they would at least leave it with a neighbor.

Japanjay 04-20-2013 12:59 AM

If everything pans out good for this exhaust I may spring on it next friday. Need better sound clips and good angles of how it looks from behind.

Dzel 04-20-2013 01:18 AM

I'm pretty sure we'll have vids and pics up by next weekend. I'll receive mine Monday and I might just put it on on Friday. By Saturday late afternoon I'll have videos up.

Shadezz 04-20-2013 07:43 AM

Videos are being made and photos should be up by noon today!!! I'm working till noon and then I'll post them!!!

Dzel 04-20-2013 08:39 AM

Sweet! Can't wait I noticed that I was not able to watch your previous videos on any type of device. I tried my Samsung note 2 ipad and a you tube app on my tv with no luck.

Huck 04-20-2013 08:45 AM

That thing looks pretty nice! I'll be interested to see how it sounds.

Shadezz 04-20-2013 12:04 PM

I'm home now and I loved driving the Z today with the new exhaust!!!! Uploading pics and videos now to my computer and then I'll post!!!

Shadezz 04-20-2013 02:55 PM
