MDTURBO Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 It definitely is best bang for the buck I'm sure in regards to sound and style (i.e. diff tips) I find it hard to swallow the price on some of these mufflers available... and I congratulate you on your motivation to innovate. :thumbsup: 2012 Forester XT.

F22-raptor Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 lol i thought this turned into pipe dream, glad to see your back with more info!, i am def down for this... No just got tangled in everyday stuff and was worrying about costs.So it looks like I pretty much have the first set of 5 sold before I even make them I am going to see what size batches they need to make them in. And welding costs etc.. Until I started doing this I didn't realize how time consuming it is to mass produce a simple pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for axle back mufflers to be 6-900$. It just kind of ticked me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F22-raptor Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Update on the tips. So far I have been able to find nice Single tips for the price point I want. I still haven't found duals tho. All of the nice duals are around 50-70$ per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostsr20 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 AS long as its big enough to not look odd..... And not to big to look odd...... Get what I'm saying.

LOL I don't want it looking like a pea shooter but Too big and it gets ricey. I know exactly what you are saying. I believe it would be about 3" opening or a little larger but nothing like a can exhaust. I hate those with a passion. I am trying to get something to look like a stock part, albeit a bit bigger.

F22-raptor Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Ok well here is a BS update. At this point. I am stuck as far as what to do. I will need to front the money for about 5 or so plus a 350$ one time tooling fee etc. I am unsure as how to proceed now. I am going to send them a copy for them to tell me final pricing on the raw pipes. But if it ends up costing me 1k$ up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
