ptuning is an spipe back for me.. i hooked it up to the dezod 2.5"dp + sp combo they give u

VulcanTurbo

Our system bolts up where the factory exhasut normally did so ANY downpipe that bolts to the factory exhaust infront of the engine will work with this exhaust system. This is a downpipe back 3" system. Not s-pipe back.

I think to get some market demand going for the new system, you might need to drop the price a little (which would be raised after the demand increases).

The price is still too close to P-Tuning's which is already known and trusted in the market place.

Just my .02. With that said, great to hear of new products for the TC.

Thanks!

So you are looking for a 3 inch S-pipe, gotcha.

VulcanTurbo

I see your point on the price... would $750 shipped spark some interest to starts?

rhythmnsmoke

Both configurations are offered through PTuning (sorry no meaning to jack your thread or anything), just letting you know the competition. They offer S-pipe Back and Turbo Back (down pipe back) 3" systems.

RichTc

It's not that there isn't interest for the system, it's more that people are unsure of what they are buying until they hear a review from someone. Especially when marketing to an online community like this, the opinions of the members regarding a product will highly influence the purchaser whether or not to purchase the product.

Honestly, what I would do, is let a few go at cost (with the requirement that they must provide feedback to you and the community). Once people start reading from a third party that is a good exhaust, in comes the demand.

I would still attractively price it for the first few months. But again, this is how I would market it.

BTW, wouldn't helping you test the first few.

we use jigs for everything we make so they come out the same everytime. No fitment worries. We already have a car here for initial fitment.

$750 would definately be good for me.. I just got about a month or two before I could get one..

i wouldn't pay more than 700 for an exhaust unless it was full vband.

I'm not sure what all the "hoopla" on V-bands is all about.

I understand having a V-band between the turbo and manifold, and even a V-band between the turbo and downpipe.. but having a V-band on the exhaust seems a waste of materials and money. Even if you have a small exhaust leak after your downpipe, it won't have any negative affects - if anything you'll increase HP from the decrease in backpressure.

VulcanTurbo

V-bands are nice and all but there not exactly NEEDED, exhaust systems have been avialable for years and years without them. They do not improve exhaust flow, they do not last any longer or less in time. I feel they are more or less a prefered way of putting something together, in some cases they are nice since they allow for fitment adjustments with setups. Our system also features a flex pipe which others do not. Flex pipes help reduce stress on exhaust system welds and joints which will improve the life of downpipes.

u just said exhaust leaks increase HP

might wanna hit the edit button

B_Real45

Yes - I stand by that statement.

Exhaust leaks after the downpipe increases HP.

Exhaust leaks before turbo decrease HP.

Care to re-read my post more carefully?

nebster

i guess i want a really ____ty exhaust that sounds like ___ than.

B_Real45

The exhaust leak is just an FYI... no one wants to hear an exhaust leak.

But for my many years of modifying cars, I've never had to use a V-band to get a good seal on an exhaust.

And I personally think my exhaust sounds badass - I use 2-bolt flanges - full 3" S-pipe, full 3" cat-back to a 18" resonator, and a magnaflow muffler. All for $600 and it's designed for MY tastes - not some company's.

nebster

its all about personal preference. i enjoy v band

purplenitroustc

as long as theres no leaks and it makes power who cares
