jolyrgr Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) I have been talking about these for a while now (some of you saw the prototype at Nationals), and they are finally ready to sell. Full mandrel bent exhaust systems in 2.5" and 3" sizes. The 2.5" systems are available in aluminized and 409 stainless, and go from the turbo all the way out the back of the car (no muffler). The 3" is available in 409 stainless only (for the time being) and start off with a 2.5" flange connection at the turbo, expanding to 3" immediately. This was done to facilitate a full gasket seal to the turbo, as well as allowing for better access to the attachment nuts, helping to eliminate blown gaskets many have experienced on other systems due to thin flange contact and loose bolts/nuts, and creating a smoother transition to the larger opening.Both of these systems were designed from scratch, using a couple of test cars and experienced performance exhaust techs familiar with the needs of forced induction cars/trucks. These were created to be fully driveway installable, and even the greenest of shade-tree mechanics should be able to knock it out in an afternoon. Here is a link to some of the first systems mounted...http://img193.images...?g=cimg1548.jpgTHANKS TO SCOTTYGIBB FOR SOME OF THE PICS http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7807/1000313sz.jpghttp://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3926/img05621.jpghttp://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8371/img05771.jpg Off-road pipe and flex section are included, and a magnaflow 3" catalytic converter can be had for an easy swap from legal street to strip set-up. 2.5" aluminized can be had for $299+shipping ($30 or less to most US destinations). $100 for stainless upgrade and $135 for magnaflow catylitic converter that drops in place of the off road pipe. 1 week lead time. 3" aluminized $329. $100 upgrade for 409 stainless. $135 for magnaflow converter desighed to swap out the off-road pipe. Aluminized should be ready to start ordering after 10/20. Stainless ready for order with 1 week lead time Post or PM any questions. JR OH...did I mention they are USA MADE right here in Kansas. Once they are ready, I will post a direct link to the shop website, and even make it possible for you to set up your own group buys. Pre-cat replacement sections are in development.

Killtodie Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 That looks good. Can I ask if you are able to do a bit of a custom work? I'm trying to explore a variant where the end of the exhaust is interchangeable so that if you really need to have a muffler you can just take off the tip and attache one without swapping the whole thing out.

SOTTY Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 While looking for a 2.5" system for one of my milder Starquests i was fortunate to purchase an early production 2.5" version of JR's system, it just great !, easy installation, the design of the downpipe in particular makes it a breeze for your typical "driveway" install. Straight through design for those (like me !) who turn your nose up at the law or swap in a cat when its time for that smog test or you got a ticket ! , Noticed a significant power increase with out any obtrusive in cab noise. It fits TIGHT and the price is RIGHT ! and made in the good ol U.s of a,it dont get better than this. I just bought a second one. Scotty.

DryBear Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) I would love to hear a soundclip, but am definitely picking one up, as soon as the funds materialize. Since I live in Cali, I'm hoping that it is not too loud, since it doesn't have a muffler/resonators.

jolyrgr Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I will see if I can get Scotty to get us a sound clip. From his description, it is fairly quiet till about 4k. I heard it run on my test mule, and it was quieter than the 3" I took off, and it had a muffler. As far as the removable muffler, I am sure that all we would need is another set of flanges to bolt/unbolt the tailpipe/muffler. I am picking-up a few systems this week, hopefully I will have a price for the 3" nailed down. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOTTY Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I will do a sound bite at this weekends Vegas mini meet, its a very quiet system till you get up around 4000 rpm then it has a nice subtle "bark" to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DryBear Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Nice! I am for sure getting one - can you add a bung for a wideband? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Nice! I am for sure getting one - can you add a bung for a wideband? If you tell me where you want it, I am sure it can be done. Being semi-local does allow for a certain amount of customization. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Orders are shipping tomorrow. These are made to order, so order away. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Price on 3" and how about that muffler flange option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Price on 3" and how about that muffler flange option? I go to pick things up tomorrow. I will get some pricing nailed down on the 3". The last, best target was $325 for the aluminized and $125 upgrade to 409 stainless. The tailpipe mod should not be any more than $30 for the extra flanges. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) i like the one with no muffler just a straight pipe.. i might do that to mine someday.. but for track use only.. does it hang low.. or is it nice and snug for clearance issues Edited October 13, 2009 by thagremlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 i like the one with no muffler just a straight pipe.. i might do that to mine someday.. but for track use only.. does it hang low.. or is it nice and snug for clearance issues The 2 systems that I have seen installed were quite tight to the underside, while allowing sufficient room so as to not hit the floorboard. The hangers will allow for some adjustment, and the rear section is a slip-fit rather than flanged to allow for height adjustment, accommodating for the muffler chosen (or not chosen). This system was designed to fit as close or closer than OEM. If you purchase and have any issues, contact me directly, and I will take care of them.

rauriarte Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 interested in 3in set up what would this run intertested let me know Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 The 3" will run $330+shipping for the off-road aluminized with no converter and no muffler. The 409 stainless is going to be the same $125 upgrade and same $135 for the converter. The shop is receiving a new shipment of the aluminized pipe next week, and I will have an idea of the lead time then. Stainless is ready for order now, one week lead time.

DryBear Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Can the converter be ordered separately at a later time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Can the converter be ordered separately at a later time? The converters can be ordered any time. Extra flanges can also be purchased should you choose to have your own shop fabricate you one. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Oh, I was hoping you would add the flange and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Oh, I was hoping you would add the flange and allLet me rephrase.....a converter set-up that can be swapped out with the off-road pipe can be ordered at any time, including the flanges. If you want just the flanges to do the install with your own converter at the shop of your choice, I can get those as well. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
