downpipe interest

Anyone here interested in some 3" catted or catless downpipes?????

Yes i know theres quite a few vendors that make these. I have 3 pairs flanges left over and am looking to make use of them. They arent going to be the cheapest on the market but for those who know me know that i use the highest quality of components and materials. I also have high attention to detail.

Im just gauging interest to see if its worth my time materials and money to build these and potentially become a vendor depending how things go. Ill post some weld pics later

I sure wish I would have known that before buying my ZZP catless downpipe over the winter.

Honestly it would be a waste of your time. They are cheaper there than on here.

I maybe interested in the flanges if you end up not making any.

Well i would try to come in between mpx and treadstone price wise for a catless version.

Worse comes to worse i might just make them and see what happens. I have a new welder and need things to build.

Facebook would be a waste as those guys are really cheap for the most part. You would enjoy Adrian's autox/road race page though.

I do with looking at some members of the group and my user name I'm sure you can figure out who I am. Although his page is not a for sale page.

I have lnf flanges in my possesion that im looking to get rid of and i would rather build pipes then just sell the flanges.. I can do lsj ones to but i would need a stock pipe to fixture from and atleast 3 to 5 people commit to make it worthwhile to build a fixture.

That's beautiful work hard to find craftsmanship like that anymore. I just bought a downpipe to bad. Would you go from straight off turbo k04 to 3 bolt with cat.

Well since the market has tons of down pipes maybe doing something cool would be a better idea? Nice welds like those deserve a creative project like something others donT offer. Maybe a boost actuated cutout or an electric one.

i can easily adapt any of those into my downpipes. I have options available to people. wideband bung, ceramic coating, cutouts, etc etc. If people want to pay the money i can build it. Boost activated cutouts are big money. Electric ones are more affordable. Thanks for the compliment
