GI: New Quad Tip CBE for 05-09 from Infamous Performance

[m sprank]

The limiting factor is the inner part of the cut out, not the part you see when looking at the bumper. You run out of room there because of the angle. The back of the tips will contact the edge where they enter the cut out. If you are willing to trim that lip you could probably tuck the sedan tips up a bit using shorter hangers or something.

 

The rear of my cut outs is already trimmed. You take out a half moon. No one can see it. Plus it gives more clearance for the tip. I had to do it to make clearance for my Cobb.

 

If I have to send a template and instructions to cut a small amount of non-visible plastic, I think it is worth it. If it gets the tips tucked high, the look is worth 15 minutes with a dremel or blade.

The fixtures have been located. I am expecting a call tomorrow.

 

WOOT!

[Drew888]

That will work, I have no problem with cutting mine.

[sleeper8406]

I cut (trimmed) my front bumper for your fmic...I have no problem cutting the rear for and exhaust from you.

[elib]

damn, I'll probably be in when it comes down to it. I want one but just not 100% sure on the funds.

[svx6]

if the tips aren't huge it can be tucked higher(?)

If I have to send a template and instructions to cut a small amount of non-visible plastic...it gets the tips tucked high...worth 15 minutes.

 

Since the car has to be UP to do the install and trimming can be done (carefully) with a razor, it isnt much extra work. I assume it would work out to negligable shop time for those paying for install.

 

If fitment makes us all happier, no problem right???

[LJ08GT]

If it allows the tips to be tucked up a bit higher I have no problem trimming my bumper especially knowing how much nicer it will look.

Liking the idea of a template but if not

I'll wing it haha

So trimming is a sedan "thing" or should we also expect this for the wagoons?

[05LGTLtd]

You should call it "The Official Wagon Mafia Catback"

Just a sedan thing, the wagon has larger cutouts.

 

I'd be ok with trimming a bit, not like anyone can see where you'd be trimming anyway.

I'm interested, but won't add myself to the list yet because I have the Bosal exhaust.

 

But quad tips are my favorite!!

I didn't read through all the posts so I'm not sure if this was mentioned.

 

I want a single pipe/tip setup. Other than aesthetics, there is no reason to have dual outlets. I've seen a few members do it here custom and would love to see something like that for sale for those of us that can't weld our own setup.

 

I think having one 3" pipe coming from the standard 3" dp outlet flange to a 3" straight through resonator and then 3" mandrel piping to a 3" straight through muffler would be the most efficient system possible, and should have a nice deep tone.

It's going to be a quad tip CBE, no single tip. I think the GMS CBE is 3" throughout, might be worth looking into if that's what you're wanting.

 

FYI, it's pretty cheap to. http://www.importimageracing.com/p/Gimmick-Motorsports-catback-Pkg-05-09-LGT.html

[LosAngelesLGT]

Already exists at a variety of pricepoints and styles (less the 3" to single can - easy enough to fab a 3" if you are into the single can dual cutout look).

[rtbrjason]

I'm not aware of any single outlet exhausts that fit the LGT platform. I'm talking one 3" pipe from DP back to either one side or the other with one straight through resonator and one straight through muffler. No Y pipe.

 

I'd like to be able to buy this:

^ he is looking for a single muffler, no "y" pipe. no one makes this. i dont plan to. sorry.

 

only sedans would have to make the small cut. this is not a for sure, just an idea i threw out there. lots of ideas floating around. goes with the excitement.

[300zx2g35]

I wouldn't mind making a small cut to get the tips tucked closer. If we have to it would be nice to have a template to do it though.

[CrowNaza86]

Ahh...makes more sense now. Sorry misunderstood your post.

[m sprank]

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It is no longer an "if". But a "when".

 

The fixtures are good. I am going over next week to look at the tips. Going double wall will decrease bark slightly, the inner diameter is 2 and 3/8 inches on a three inch tip.

 

The old 2.5" restriction at the DP is GONE. We are going 3" flat flange with a small piece of flex to accommodate all DP's. I will bring a fit car with DP to use to modify the fixture.

 

Sedan AND Wagon fitment from two different fixtures available.

 

I will have firmed up pricing next week after we decide on final product.

 

Oh, and looks like I might be making a 2010/2011 CBE with Stromung too.

 

No jinx's now. Time to spread the word. Quad tip heaven is coming. Pure S E X for your LGT.

[Underdog]

Huzzah! Mixmaster Mike does it again!

[m sprank]

No pix with a muffler around my neck. I'm too short for the steering wheel as it is.

[svx6]

you da' mickeyfickey man! Price at that time too?

[m sprank]

Pricing depends on final product. Stromung is firming up the numbers this weekend. Then it is the tips. Going double wall adds about $100 to the cost of the CBE. Taking out the 2.5" restriction and going 3" flat flange is adding a little cost too. Thats why I am still negotiating with them. The more buyers I have, the more negotiating power I have to get a better price.

 

Now that Stromung knows there is interest, the only reason they need me is marketing and sales. I let the cat out of the bag by contacting them. If they decided to go it alone on production, the cost for buyers will be higher than what I am advertising.

 

Do you realize that Stromung moved last year and that the LGT fixtures were supposed to be destroyed before the move? Someone felt guilty about destroying all the left over fixtures and some were put into a storage container. Not all, just some.

[svx6]

This was SUPPOSED to happen then
