Really excited to hear that. Hopefully you're making some great progress and gets released soon for purchase! I was excited after the conversation we had this weekend. Let me know if you need my car for testing.

Sure will do, give me a call by the end of the week, I had a talk with my partner and we should be able to work something out with you about what we spoke on the phone. Also I'm glad you joined the forum, since this is one of the best out there.

I loved what your doing and the quality that your obviously committed towards. The welds looked awesome in my book. ( ..and I weld) I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with the system ,right down to the painstakingly designed tips. Stay in touch....call me as you have thoughts. Setting up to photograph is no problem. I have wide angle and macro lenses to capture the details perfectly. Cheers,Vinny |

This is looking like a real game changer for our cars
I talked with Dioaek today regarding my interest in his system. A question came up when it came to the headers he is building and I wanted to know what you guys thought. He can design larger diameter headers that will increase power by another 5hp, but would not be compatible with the stock s-pipe -or- He can also design headers that are compatible with the stock s-pipe Both designs would be a big improvement over stock headers. That being said, do you think it's worth the 5hp gain to spend extra $$$ on a new s-pipe when you add headers?

car will be loud as crap with your setup. Headers+RPI+Supercharger+aftermarket section 1 i dont even want to know what it would soun like. I have headers and RPI mufflers and its loud but i could go louder personally.. al depends on you.. I wouldn't do it over 5 hp but i would do it just to make the car sound better. if you think it will sound better then by all means do it. 5 hp isn't much, but it does add up over time. plus its not like your car is hurting on power anyway lol

Guys things are moving along very well we are just finishing up the headers and waiting for last fit test, after that I will get this to Arizona to get it finished.
I have listen to the setups already and they really sound great with no drone at all. Trust me guys the wait will payoff. |

In my lowly opinion... Adding the S-Pipe will take a car that sounds really good to sounding great. It's that subtle difference that just makes the whole car sound better. Is it worth it for 5HP.. probably not, but it's worth it for the SOUND!
If you are adding headers and axle backs.. might as well pony up the difference that do end to end exhaust. Car will sound better and be well worth the $$$ over time.

if youre offering a full system, you might as well offer the better headers that will only fit your s pipe IMO

So I run a SS vs DKF prices today with similar setups and we came just $332 above the SS on the picture, But keep in mind that we will have extreme high quality product with better sound, power and also our system is all ceramic coated and our Cats are 100 Cell racing cats.
With this in mind remember that the price that we took to compare the two systems was a full retail price so you guys should not see that difference if you are in the GB for one of this setups. |

Just to point out that the system coated above is one of the most expensive that we used to compare to and we will have lower cost systems.
This is only to give an idea that our prices will be very similar to the SS but our system will have differences that well make up for the difference in cost. Also the SS system used above was compared to one of our systems with similar characteristics, but definitely not the lowest cost one that we will offer. so people don't get scared with that price because we should be able to fit every pocket.

Those prices comes from SS website since it's full retail price, however I know you can get some discounts on those products from 3rd party dealers.
The companies set their manufactory prices usually higher then the ones that their dealers sell for. and this is because of it's liability. so that is why the prices on the companies websites are usually a bit higher then 3rd party websites. |
