Mid and Y-Pipe development

[PhillyWilly]

I got quoted $300 for the y alone and then never tried another shop. Wish I was close enough to visit your VA shop. Hell might even be worth it for $120! Whats the name of the place?

Hi All,

 

We finished up our first set last week and are getting some etching on it done. Expect some images and videos by the end of this week.

 

Thanks,

I apologize for the wait. We are working dilligently to get these released. If you don't wish to wait and have a qualified local exhaust shop, I am sure they can make something in the $400-$500 range with stainless steel or $250-350 with mild steel.

 

very close to getting a custom one built locally because I dont feel like waiting. Anyone know a ballpark on cost for these and when the donut flange version will get released?

[RPA Performance]

That sounds like a pretty good price. Was this stainless steel or mild steel? Mandrel bends or crush bends?

 

Well depending on the exhaust shop you will find it hard to buy a mid and y pipe for cheaper than getting one fabbed up. I spent $120 TOTAL on a custon mid and 2.5 inch y pipe piece and i sat and watched the guy make it in 42 min exactly!

That sounds like a pretty fair price if the material is stainless steel and they are using mandrel bends.

good news, idea what we can expect for price?

[RPA Performance]

Here is the pricing we are currently working with. It is not final as we have not nailed down final pricing with some of our suppliers for pipes and flanges

 

All items are 304 Stainless Steel. Flanges are cut by CNC.

 

The prices below are a rough estimate and may change once we have contracts nailed down for large quantites of materials

 

Divorced WG Catless Downpipe $280-310

Mid and Y-Pipe $380-410

Mufflers $400-430

[integroid]

Will you have wagon specific mufflers?

[korpsepatrol]

i am definitely in for a mid and y!

 

Mufflers maybe, what type of mufflers are you planning on making? Loud? Quiet? Low Burble? etc?

[Irimis]

Very interested in this when we get some sound clips up. Looking for a quality quiet system thats not going to be 1k+ for just the cat back

[RPA Performance]

As promised here are some pics. The first two are of our Y-pipe bolted up to stock mufflers which works just fine. The inner diamater of the Ys is 2.08in. The last pic is of our mufflers. We still need to do a bit of adjustment to get them more centered and have to send them back to the etching place as they did our logo upside down. More pics to come soon.

Looks good! Any pics of the midpipe? and any plans for a version that utilizes the donut gasket?

 

Also any pics of the cans off the car? 4" tip? How are they on the loudness scale of things?

 

Sorry about all the questions.

Y pipe looks great!

 

Mufflers look terrible

[Silverstar]

Nice mid! I'd consider trying to fit my autospeed mufflers to that Y!

 

Is there a resonator in the mid?

[kirbwrx]

are you staying with the polished look or can we get a more raw or painted look?

[korpsepatrol]

the y looks quality, however what mufflers are those? x02? or avo? Cause they seem to look like avo's and if that's the case there is something "off" with that mid and y since mine do not sit so in and low. If its x02 than yeah that's kinda where it normally does sit. Eitherway definitely interested in this progress! Is there a chance you can make the y 2.5inches since most aftermarket mufflers carry that diameter?

I'm interested in the Y and mid pipe- If these get into production and can get delivered fairly soon....

[scoobydoobie]

[crash]

Can you give us a pic of what the Y looks like (internally)?

[Mo_GT]

The single exit option will be in development in a few weeks and some options will be posted in a separate thread

 

Did you end up developing the single exit exhaust ?

[RPA Performance]

From our understanding all that is necessary for wagons is longer tips, if that is the case we can get some longer tips made and will have them available for wagons.

We are looking at making some mufflers that are on the quieter side for this first batch

[RPA Performance]

We'll try and take some pics of the midpipe in the next couple of days.

 

We will have a donut gasket version but that will be a later set. The first set released will use a 3in flast flange.

 

Actually after some testing we will most likely not be going with these mufflers as they are not what we expected on the quietness scale.

Thanks for the compliments. We are actually scrapping these mufflers as they did not meet our expectation. Please let us know what you would like to see as we welcome all suggestions

Sounds great. We will have resonators to be added to the mid on a per order basis
