robsontuning Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I talked to Stromung today. We had been talking about my idea of the side exit exhaust and he said if I have an order for 12 he would produce them for me. I don't think that is going to happen, since most people will not want to alter or purchase a new set of side skirts. He mentioned that he was thinking of producing a single muffler race exhaust for the Legacy GT, instead of the dual now offered by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 i dont know if there would be alot of interest in this since people that go on the track can just custom fab something. As for the single muffler, i think pltek tried doing something like that but for their price, no one wanted to do it. Maybe if it was really cheap people would like it.

liquidiq Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Their standard dual muffler catback isn't loud enough? That's why I sold mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsontuning Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 I also told them that it needed to be loud. Also one of the reasons I think they are also thinking about this is for price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedawgs Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I would love for Strmung to come out with a full downpipe, or at least a midpipe to mate with their shorty. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will talk to him tomorrow to see if that is something he is planning or could possible make available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmorgan Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 They actually do make a secondary. I called them up and asked about that when I ordered my exhaust. Problem is, they are so swamped with orders for exhausts that they don't have any catted secondaries made, Ithink they said that they were 2 months behind on those. Also, I haven't seen them sold anywhere, but thy can be ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levish Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 i dont know if there would be alot of interest in this since people that go on the track can just custom fab something. As for the single muffler, i think pltek tried doing something like that but for their price, no one wanted to do it. Maybe if it was really cheap people would like it. Doesn't need to be made in a 3rd world country cheap but manuf costs need to be under control. my opinion is that anything over 650$ for a single cat back is expenssive when you consider the costs of a top quality off the shelf muffler/resonator for a system like this is ~150$ retail and the piping for top quality SS is dirt cheap by comparison. I can understand the pricing due to PLteks mufflers/resonators were custom but I don't understand the need for custom mufflers and resonators when there are tons on the market. 300-500$ for a well built single cat back system is more than fair and you can have it done custom for that much for a cat back at a shop that specializes in building exhaust systems if you bring them the parts you want to use and don't want your system polished.

robsontuning Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Actually my price sheet was wrong. I put a call into him yesterday about your question and did not get threw to him. I will be trying to get back in touch with him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmorgan Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Sorry, I did not get a price on them. I think that they are transmission independent since they sit at the end of a shorty DP right before the midpipe. I'm assuming that the price would be somewhere in the ballpark of the other secondaries they sell, so like $350 or so. He didnt give me an exact date, but he did say to try the Cobb or some of the other manufacturers. If the secondary is designed for a shorty downpipe, to a stock midpipe, then it should fit with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
