check that out...i sure some other have seen these but i just came across it and just...wow

best part is check his rating and he has sold quite a few of these at a cheaper price but with smaller tubing...this mush be the hi performance model

 

thats pretty bad

 

Lol I was thinking the same thing the other day when I ran across these on ebay. The shear fact that he is asking that much is crazy. Thats highway robbery at its best right there.

 

if i ever seen this on a thirdgen i would cry then probably slap the guy

 

Well first off, I agree that the price is too high. That is a 3" version, but is only for the dual cat models, supposedly. His single cat exhaust is only $180, but uses 2 1/4" I-pipe like stock.

Finally, IF the 3" model were a direct fit for my LO3, and was priced cheaper like at $180, I would consider buying it. However, I would buy it with the sole intent of cutting out the edges on his "T" intersection, and making it a decent flowing Y-pipe between the 2 tips.

I have seen tips like that, and they look pretty good. Also, I love the straight pipe sound.

 

yeah that thing is horrible I seen it before and wanted to cry I hope nobody buys that and puts it on there car

 

just ordered one from him, should be here in about a week. I'll post up a soundclip and dyno numbers.






























Just kidding, i paid less than that for my hooker system.

 

Well, he doesent actually claim any "additional horsepower". And I bet if it was modified to fit a single cat system, it would sound real good too.

The only kinda iffy thing is that ugly T-intersection he makes to eliminate the muffler.

I know its not a nice mandrel bent system like you guys all prefer, however it's true, I have paid more money for a lesser system at an exhaust shop, crush bent too.

 

wow thats ugly.

 

Shoot, sign me up for three of 'em.

I need some more useless scrap laying in my backyard. I've actually seen quite a few Y-pipes made like that on various vehicles, Some people can't figure out the why they call it a "Y" pipe, & not a "T" pipe.

 

anyone got a sound pic of that!!!

 

Worst part is he's been listing them (I can't say one way or the other about "selling" them) for years.

 

wow that has to be one of the worst looking exhausts i've ever seen. And it must sound horrible with that stupit y pipe setup

 

More like a "T" pipe.

 

lets just call it creative engineering at its best. lol It's sad they're charging that much for it I make the same system myself for about 75 bucks

 

With a little creative fab work, you can put the TSP Rumbler on for not too much more...

 

the rpm's must take 20 mins to go up and probably sound like an old farmall lol!

 

I wouldn't call it creative; and as an engineer, don't want the word "engineering" associated in any way with what he's done.

Cobbled together is about the best you can give it.

 

It seems to me that the only quality exhaust for a a 3rd gen is one that's engineered to suit the specific application.

"You get what you pay for."
"If you want something built right, you do it yourself."

And I use the word 'engineered' in the most respectful way.

 

sorry, why does it flow so bad?

 

Its like a half done job at straight pipe. lol im interested to see how it flows with that weird t/y pipe thingy on there.

 

Did you notice the part about how he welded a "diverter" in the T-intersection to "split the flow". It looks like he just tacked a piece of scrap metal in there, to restrict it even more.

 

Well by definition engineering is the practical application of ones knowledge so I guess what I was trying to say is that its a junky exhaust that is over priced and probably make your car sound like a bag of broken @$$holes. Not knocking on somebody that does something difficult and intelectually challenging for a living

 

Id like to see if anyone on this board bought one. The guy has 100% feedback and it looks like he's sold a ton of these systems.

 

There's probably a V6 or 305 car on this board running around with one, I'd bet the farm on it

 

first time i seen this thing at first sight it didn't seem to bad untill i seen the t (y) pipe, than i was like what the f***, how the heck is this thing suposed to give you hp lol. and for that price, i could make 2 sets of exhausts lol, including muflers. lol i had a hard time understanding just what i was looking at (the t pipe), like where does that go, after looking at it for like 3 mins, i start reading where it says no mufler needed, lol yhaaaaa........., now i know what that exhaust part is for.

 

Well, if the exhaust is designed for it, no muffler is a cheap way to get both great sound and performance. However, the way the thrid-gens are set up, it would be more beneficial to have a traditional y-pipe over the axle, and then run the pipes seperately.
