I highly doubt that anyone will back out. We have waited this long why would you.

I've decided to back out and I'm #1 on the list.

I've emailed Richard Wong and he has agree to allow me to trade my deposit and spot in the first batch.

I'm going to make a thread in the BM.

Can somebody help me understand this better.
I know each car is different and dyno data varies by the minute and so on.

This exhaust paired with a Jpipe is supposed to yield on avg


16 WHP peak gained
19 WTQ peak gained

From the Jpipe thread
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/rv6-v3-long-tube-j-pipe-release-04-08-tl-all-trims-%2A%2Aupdate-page-4%2A%2A-773591/


13 WHP peak gained
7 WTQ peak gained

15 WHP average gained
12 WTQ average gained


Looks like not much additional gain to HP more on TQ?

Richie, I emailed you back right away and had asked for pictures of the etched tips if you can take some...
I AM STILL IN!
I assume you will just move people up in order when someone backs out?

Richie v6

They are currently setting up the stencil artwork for the etching. I will post pictures when I have them. No one has backed out fully so far. The first person on the list is trading their spot for a stock type-s exhaust.

We did however get our exhaust clamps back from hard coating anodizing and laser engraving.

Dude. Those look fantastic.

Richie, any chance to purchase another set of the set screws? Mine are slightly stripped and I can't fully tighten. Are they 3.5MM allen wrenches? It's an odd size and I purchased an allen wrench for this finally, but originally made due with a 3MM.

sticky too?

sauceja

iTrader: (2)

Can you make an extra set of these for the 1st batch guys??

I have to take my exhaust apart and re-position it again anyway so would be a great time to throw one of these on there.

How much for the 3.0 inch pipping?

or answer some questions from your customers...that'll work too.

namely,
eta on a dedicated base tip, and can i buy the allen screws for that bracket to replace the ones that stripped. Keep your customer and fan base in the loop.

The cap screws are actually a 9/32 hex. The systems shipped with a allen wrench and locktie. PM me your address and I will send you a new set just pay for shipping.

I believe we resolved this, I we emailing the wrong address.

The spacing this new clamp is slightly wider then the first batch. It might work however my cost on these is ~120 so its not really worth it.

The 3.0" inlet is $125 more.

I've stopped giving ETAs they are just bad luck. However it should be soon, everything is moving along smoothly now.

Next week after we get the tips etched I will post pics of the final version. I wouldn't want to further confused anyone.


I will consider a base tip design after we complete this second batch and go through the numbers. Again this project behind schedule and the costs are starting to over run. I would say this system is 3x as complete as any other competing system and only slightly more expensive.

I would love to keep you guys in the loop. The downside is that it attracts too much attention. I already have people calling non stop wanting to put in a deposit or try to bride me outright for the first system.

We are a small company and the more time I can keep off the phone the more time I can spend working on the exhaust. I am using my cell phone as a business phone. I have thought about getting a dedicated work line with normal business hours. However I have many customers calling on weekends and in the evenings after work that need legitimate install advice.

Getting Hosed

So, everyone, its time to STFU. No more PMs, no more phone calls. Let Richie finish these up so we can get them sooner!!

Damn 120.00 for a clamp. Wowzer. They look good though.

Richie, you have no idea how much that means to me...at least now, I plan to leave you alone until after batch 2 are complete. I'm very excited that you still plan to come up with a dedicated base tip. I can't say enough GOOD about how awesome this exhaust sounds, performs and looks.

J.

I'll PM you my info.

iTrader: (5)

Richard now thats customer service....way to make me regret not getting this exhaust....

Andy270211

Richie - how big will the boxes be that you ship them in? Will they be rectangular boxes or will they be molded into (roughly) the shape of the exhaust?

I live in an apartment building on the 7th floor... I want it to fit in the elevator and through the door haha.

Bruce Banner

iTrader: (2)

You might want it shipped to the shop

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I bought mine from another member and it ALL breaks down and fits into a box that was 3 feet by 3 feet by 4 feet tall. And that was a furniture box he used that had room to spare. It'll all fit in an elevator, without issue.

Tedward

Shouldn't need much more than a floor jack and pair of stands to install the system... factory mounting points make life better. DIY


Any more updates Richie? Pictures of the tips or any completed systems?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

it took me less than an hour to install this...maybe 2 with final fitment and moving the clamps around and polishing. Awesome awesome awesome install with INSTANT gratification when I turned it on...

How can a "true dual" exhaust originate from an already collected single output j-pipe?

TL Type-S Fanatic

Still taking deposits?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Out of curiosity, would you consider a mustang 302 with an "X" pipe after the headers a "true dual exhaust"?

It merges but never becomes 1...then reopens into 2. Feel free to get a "custom setup done instead". Anil can tell you how cost effective that route will be.

its always more expensive to be the first....the couple other guys who I have been helping have gotten their exhaust done in less than 1200 and this includes the jpipe section ....so rv6 comparable setup would be ~$2000....

and it sounds better IMO....but i love the loudness of my exhaust and the little rasp at 3500 rpm which I can blame the Precats on....

about a true dual....the X-merge that you talk about is a soft x merge....the diameter of the merge is more than the diameter of the piping but in this case the piping is 2.25" wide and the merge is 2.5" wide....so you are restricting the flow....

i understand you are biased, but the RV6 isnt really a true dual but it comes dang close....now if he offers a 3" collector on the jpipe and a matching 3" collector where the exhaust begins, it will come closer to a true dual as the merge wont be restrictive....but i think the 3" collector will add some drone/rasp and a low rpm rumble (rumble i like )
