I may be interested in a couple, depending on the price. I assume these are fabbed from mandrel bent pieces?

Let's see how we make out with the short pipe first...

... though I do have a good feeling about this.

If Tommy and Lowell are interested, I suppose I could help you guys out by bringing Lowell a stock exhaust to use for building a jig for the downstream bend section you're referring to. If wanted, they could also install bungs to accept wideband O2 sensors, that would come with plugs screwed into them so widebands could be installed later if desired.

I'll be back in Vancouver late next week, and will talk to Tommy and Lowell as well about this.

FYI, two stainless flanges or better V bands ~ $ 50, two 321 stainless mandrel bends ~ $ 50, cutting, tig welding incl back purging ~ $ 100 + .....unless you cheapen down the materials the fabricator ain' t making any dough.

I'm sure we are all looking to end up with a quality piece comparable to the LR or Fabspeed product. I'll inquire about using the stock flanges but I don't think Ian did...I may be wrong.

Although group buys in general bring down the price, in this case I'm going to assume if Tommy is interested it's great "fill-in" work for a shop to keep someone busy when sometimes slow. It may not be a great money maker but might be a nice side project to ease making payroll. Just my thoughts...

We are now close to 15 interested so if we confirm at least 10 I think that's pretty good.

I'll wait to hear back from Tommy before speculating any further.

More to come...

Hey Guys, I just wanted to chime in and say if your interested in doing a group buy on the 3.0" DP, let me know and I will see what kind of price I can come up with. I know I can make a nice member special if you have 10 or more interested. Our DP is all one piece, mandrel bent stainless steel with all hangers and everything included. Let me know how your GP buy works out and PM me if you are interested in pricing.
thanks,
