RPI GT Race exhaust...

chuck159 · 11-18-2008, 02:36 PM

Anybody heard any new news?

The__J__Factor · 11-22-2008, 07:54 PM

Bump for updates

Mikewarlover · 11-23-2008, 01:47 AM

Doesnt look like its gonna happen

The__J__Factor · 11-23-2008, 03:30 AM

^ yeah i think ill probably just go custom. Some exhaust shops here have their own dynos so gains are guaranteed.

laidback · 12-16-2008, 06:15 PM

Sorry guys for the late reply (been very busy lately with MFest) but I talked to Eloy today and we will dyno the Z4MC tomorrow , RPI is still on board on getting the exhaust done and after that i'll drop it off at VF as they are on board on doing the S/C kit aswell...

The__J__Factor · 12-16-2008, 06:58 PM

^ awesome to hear

laidback · 12-16-2008, 07:35 PM

I highly suggest you wait before you decide on what exhaust to get

Bump for dyno results :P

laidback · 12-20-2008, 01:49 AM

It was raining in SoCal that i didn't bring her out...i'll check tomorrow if Eloy is available or Monday...

The__J__Factor · 12-20-2008, 08:26 AM

You dont drive in the rain?

Ok hopefully we may get a xmas day surprise dyno

wyu177 · 12-31-2008, 11:48 PM

any update on this? itching to pull the trigger on a supersprint race...

chuck159 · 01-01-2009, 08:58 PM

I'm thinking maybe the SS Race as well. But.... I've held off this long.

Dammmittt · 01-01-2009, 09:20 PM

I have my doubts that its gonna get done, I was excited about it at first, but the interest has faded.

RPIpower · 01-02-2009, 12:34 PM

We are still working on it. Also, if any of you are local and would like to help us with the hp development, we would like to dyno your cars. We would like to confirm the hp numbers on a few different cars instead of just one car. We would offer a significant discount on your exhaust purchase of course. If interested, please call me at 562-630-5966

chuck159 · 01-04-2009, 04:55 PM

Oh man, if I was down in So Cal I would be first in line..... And if my car was not my daily driver. Great to hear the exhausts are on the way! Thanks!

RPIpower · 01-05-2009, 05:46 PM

Thanks for being patient guys. Im just waiting for laidback to come in so we can swap the exhausts out and build a jig for the rear section. If all goes well with the final testing, we are expecting a retail price for around $600-700 (depending on the tip design). We have been told by several of you that you guys wanted to keep the same GT staggered tip design that is on Laidback's car. That is a definite option but would raise the price a little bit.

By staggered do you mean staggered tip diameter (like in the photo on page 1), or tip length to flow with the body lines? I've been waiting for 5 months, I guess I can wait a little longer. Hoe you get some test cars soon.

BTW - When are the scoops supposed to be off back order?

That's not a bad price at all. Can't wait to hear/see the finished product.

I hope the tips are the same size, I'm not sure I like the porsche style exhaust.

mpower03 · 01-06-2009, 02:38 PM

are the tips on both muffler going to be 3 1/4 inch like said on page 2?

I think so, from what I've gathered from earlier on, there are going to be four 3.25" pipes that are staggered in length.

But RPI can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
