Speed Force Exhaust Group Buy - Interest?
Anyone interested in starting one? How many folks would be interested assuming that the pricing was same as the last group buy (big assumption as I haven't talked to SFR)?

Use the search feature and take a look at previous peoples feedback. HP improvements or benefits is an entirely different topic. I want to know how many people are interested in joining a group buy.

NZ951, how did they bend it though? Mandrel or pipe bends? Most muffler shops don't do mandrel bends (most end up assembling them out of pre-made mandrel bent pieces). Pipe bends reduce the size of the internal area coming out, so instead of a 3" you end up with some smaller restrictions again inside the pipe because of the bends. Stainless or mild steel? I live where they do use salt on the roads in winter and this is my only car. I won't have to worry about replacing this one down the road and if I do, the muffler is guaranteed for life. Plus it does have a great sound
Those are some questions I asked up front about it and Speed Force sells these parts for a great price considering the size of the market. Priced out exhausts for the Japanese twin turbo cars lately? Last time I looked there were several at like $1200 for the catback! Yikes!!!!! That is robbery!!!!
I picked up the test pipe in the last group buy as well, don't forget to see about adding those on the group buy if you get people interested. I also had that looked at being done in stainless and it would have been pretty ugly and STILL a lot of test fitting and in the end, a lot of money for something with a lot less quality than what I got. Let alone ease of swapping in a cat or a straight-pipe.
I'm very impressed with what I got and would certainly get them again.

NZ: Your lucky, my local exhaust shop quoted me over $250 for a muffler (claimes a BMW X5 muffler ), and the CAT Back section wants an additional $200 for the pipe (claims he can make it all at 3").........so more/less with shipping from the US it would be the same price........

I see their is some interest in some exhaust systems. I should contact John D. about it to make sure it is ok and then I can figure out the lowest we can sell the cat-backs,testpipes,etc.... for.

I am not doubting that Tim's piece costs that much with the quality etc... The labour in NZ is much cheaper I think, also there is a place that can scan the exhaust and program in the bends on a computer and copy the system very cheaply. So its all good in that way.

NZ: Like i said, your LUCKY!!!
Everyone here thinks they know what they are doing, but they really don't.
That is why i was incorrect regarding some 951 things on what would/would not work.
Again, shout out to rennlist for clearing up the mess i was told
