Did anyone mention they will also sound great! ;-)

The power gain is there though remember it's at the top end....

Cheers,

David

Not to be pushy, but I will need to get payments by Monday (30th) am (either paypal or emailed copy of your check), so I know what to tell Dave to order. If you are considering, please don't wait! It will be next into early next year before we'll be taking orders again. These sales will take us thru the end of this year (with holiday's, work schedules, families etc).

Chris,

perhaps you can add some detail about the weight savings. i recall it being 12lbs but i believe that was with sport cats. can you confirm the weight savings for the bypass pipes & sport cat pipes?

For everyone else,

Loosing weight in the back of the car behind the rear wheels is the best place to loose weight in our cars!!!

Cheers,
Boris

Hi Chris-
OK, I'm seriously thinking about the x-pipe with sport cat system.
Man, I've always said us car nuts are like addicts...my hands start shaking towards the wallet when we see something cool to get!
I'll confirm by tomorrow!

Could you confirm there are O2 bungs pre and post cat? Also, could you provide a pic of showing exact location?

Cheers, Brad

LOL......its like crack isn't it? I was just thinking about you the other day, funny you should chime in.
Yes cats come with pre and post O2's and will be similar in location to factory, sorry no pics. Call me if you want on Sunday, you have my # still? I think I have yours in my phone.

Ok here are the counts and people.

Confirmed:
========
myslef
jdistefa


In order to be confirmed please contact Chris and send payment by tomorrow (he just needs confirmation that either you are sending a check or that you actually paypal the $ to him)

You also need to tell him what year your car is so he can get the right o2 ports and ends.

Possible:
========
flyintexan

Pcar964

If we can get a couple others confirmed we have the gb price.

Thanks, Brad

Boris? I won't know until I get to my fax machine at the office. So far no paypal's so I guessing those who are "commited" are going to be faxing a copy of their check.....to 910-254-1003
I'll call you if I get a free moment Brad.

myslef
jdistefa

Possible:
========
flyintexan *thinking about it*

so we only have two confirmed on this group buy, but Chris has one other. So we are upto three. It doesn't look like we will get to six, but i'll keep my fingers crossed.

Sorry but I'm still on the fence for these. Sorry for my ignorance but how much louder (if any) are the Dach cat x-pipes/sport cats combo vs. the stock set-up? My current Fabspeeds are a bit too loud so I'm thinking of switching to RSRs and hopefully offset some of the weight gain w/ the Dach cat X-pipes and sport cats. Thanks

Boris:

I am in for 2 sets (one for a friend). Just spoke with Chris who answered some details:

The pre-cat O2 and post-cat O2 sensor bungs will be in similar area as stock so should not have to lengthen wire leads.

CA smog should not an issue....cats are CARB certified (that's California Air Resources Board, for all you lucky enough to live in a less restrictive state)

New hardware to mount system will be included.

Are we complete for the GB?

Thanks so much Brad. We need 2 More so Dave in LA.....time to pony up ANd Greg in FL....you too, lets go.

As far as noise David, what any of my pipes do is to amplify what ever the air exists through. So those cups will have to go whether you go cats or bypasses, because things will get a little louder. Now my stuff does not induce resonance, so once the cups disappear and you go to a RSR .........or shhhhh.... DACH R's (coming soon, pronounced Dakar as in the ralley ), the car will quite down to more of a nice crisp growl with no resonance and only slightly more noise over stock inside....think classic 911 for interior sound. It will be very civil and easily useable as a daily driver.

Need to know today everyone, this is it for the rest of the year, and into early next. If you have been wanting pipes or cats.......speak up....or dare I say pay up or you'll have to wait quite a while.
