New, 3.5" BIC Thunder cat back exhaust, with sound clips!!!

[becauseican]

Well finally after a few months of R&D and testing the 3.5" BIC Thunder cat back system is now available. This is the perfect exhaust for those of you who are running 400hp or more, or where 3" just isn't good enough. The exhaust note is a deep rumble, and sound very nice on a 1jz, it is not a quiet exhaust, but I offer an optinal resonator to tone down the volume a bit.

The exhaust is an 3.5" od aluminized mild steel bolt on cat back, with a high temp coating to prevent corrosion. A 3.5" inlet/outlet Magnaflow stainless steel round canister muffler is used with an optional resonator. The muffler sits on a slight angle similar to the HKS High power, or Blitz N1. It utilizes the factory exhaust hangers for stock like fitment. The exhaust has a 3" flange to mate up to your existing testpipe or cat, which flares out to 3.5" to make it a bolt on affair. I can also leave off the flange which will make it full 3.5" and will need to be custom adapted to your current downpipe/ cat/ testpipe. I can add an optional resonator for $80. The tip will be slightly different than the pic.

Introductary pricing is $600
Price with resonator is $680

Shipping is extra.

Here is the sound clip on a 1JZGTE with a 3" BIC downpipe, BIC testpipe and the 3.5" Thunder catback with resonator:

that is sexy. it looks like it fits up with the bumper nicely. i like it.do you have any pics with the car on the ground? you should get a sound clip too!

[becauseican]

Here is a rear pic:

89turboguy: nice avtar, looks just like the pic from my website home page ;) ,I will try to get some sound clips up .

[89turboguy]

that is awsome. i might have to get one of those. you should get a sound clip to really real me in! lol

[Stanzaspeed]

nice work as always! i dont know how big of a fan i am of that muffler... but very nice work! :)

[Loki]

Looks awesome Randy, made my decision for buying an exhuast harder now.

[91T breezen']

Looks awesome Randy, made my decision for buying an exhuast harder now.

I second that!:aigo: Looks like the Blitz Nur might be for sale soon!!!:naughty::icon_razz

[kongykongfoomonk]

Well, I know what I'm getting for my birthday. :)

[supra90turbo]

Very nice work Randy! Looks amazing. The angle is perfect

[Stanzaspeed]

The angle is perfect

dunno if id call it "perfect" but it does look very nice overall.

[supra90turbo]

i would. i did ;)

[Stanzaspeed]

i would. i did ;)

:-p

[becauseican]

The angle is within 1 degree of my HKS High power !!!

[89turboguy]

89turboguy: nice avtar, looks just like the pic from my website home page ;) ,I will try to get some sound clips up .




lol sorry, i googled supra somthing or another and that came up so i did a little coloring. i hadnt ever been to your website, i didnt even know that was on your page.

[tissimo]

lol looks almost exactly how i built my exhaust..

[Loki]

How is this compared to your old exhuast when your car was 7M? if it's the same and sounds the same, this could possibly be the best sounding exhuast for a MKIII.

[s383mmber1]

PLEASE get a sound clip up Randy!!!!1


-William.

[Selz202]

That exhaust looks like sex...

[Celica Supra]

That look nice! But could you get it in full 3.5 instead of the small 3 inch to bolt to the cat or test pipe? I might go full 3.5 turbo back this summer once I sell my so call stage one parts. :D

[TurboFreak]

How come 935 and BIC both put out 3.5" exhaust at relatively the same time and one has a lower price?

[redmkiii]

You said the tip is going to be slightly different, how different? pics and sound clips please :biglaugh: thanks.

[Isphius]

Might be an odd request, but could you sell it without the muffler? Get some dyno pics and sound clips and ill buy it when i have the cash :)

[becauseican]

Yes I can leave off the the 3" part at the front of the exhaust to make it a full 3.5" system, I just did it this way so its a fully bolt on unit, and as of now there is no 3.5" downpipe/ cat to bolt it to.

[becauseican]

The BIC exhaust is a completly bolt on finnished exhaust system with a real muffler, I imagine that the other exhaust that is just running two resonators will be very loud, and some people care about how the exhaust looks. You guys can vouch for me about my quality of work, there is hundreds of my BIC downpipes out there. I have been working on this exhaust for a while if you see my "what parts do you guys want" thread, it just took a while for me to find time to get it finnished and do my testing.

[becauseican]

I build these all myself by hand, so I can do what ever you want on the exhaust. I will get sound clips up once I have someone local to volenteer their car. Right now my car is out for the year so I cant use it.

[SupraJDS]

How about some sound clips:naughty:


Edit:Nevermind answered my question

Thats good to know I was just wondering why yours was more and you gave me a good answer. I wanna hear it! So i can mate it up to my BIC DDP and Test pipe!

[SupraJDS]

Turbofreak you stole my idea!! hahah

[TurboFreak]

Turbofreak you stole my idea!! hahah
We can share...:biglaugh:

[Isphius]

Ill volunteer my car if you ship it to me...haha JK. I would if i lived closer tho :( Oh and would it be the same price minus the muffler? im a bit picky with mufflers and how they sound, And i tend to change them a lot.

[Ckanderson]

looks great randy, possibly put a burns stainless muffler on there instead? a la WOTM, or a aerochamber like the goliath? i'd think that exhaust with a burnsstainless would look even hotter

[Selz202]

Im all about the Burns... but id like to hear it before i decide on a different muffler...

[becauseican]

I can use the Burns muffler too, but it offers very little if any sound muffling value and would be mostly there for looks. The price will also be about $200 more with that muffler. I will figure out the pricing without a muffler, so you guys can use what ever you want. But Honestly I dont know why everyone is against Magnaflow mufflers, the are full stainless steel inside and out, lifetime warrantee, and will sound pretty much the same as any Japaneese or other straight through muffler of similar size. You cant beat a Magnaflow for the quality vs price and availability.

[Ckanderson]

i just like the look........

[kongykongfoomonk]

....I like Magnaflow... :(

[Celica Supra]

Yes I can leave off the the 3" part at the front of the exhaust to make it a full 3.5" system, I just did it this way so its a fully bolt on unit, and as of now there is no 3.5" downpipe/ cat to bolt it to.


Yeah I was talking more about a custom 3.5 v-band downpipe. I let you know when I'm ready for one of these bad boy.

[Lino]

I build these all myself by hand, so I can do what ever you want on the exhaust. I will get sound clips up once I have someone local to volenteer their car. Right now my car is out for the year so I cant use it.

Im local and willing, but I only have a stock DP.

[becauseican]

Well I sell downpipes too:)

[s383mmber1]

Well I sell downpipes too:)

And DAMN nice downpipes at that.

[aye mate]

Could you make it just 3.5" piping all the way?

[becauseican]

Could you make it just 3.5" piping all the way?

Without any mufflers then?

Remember guys, these are all hand made and built to order, so I can modify it, leave out mufflers or use a V band flange or what ever you want.

[aye mate]

Remember guys, these are all hand made and built to order, so I can modify it, leave out mufflers or use a V band flange or what ever you want.
Would that bring the price down any?

[rumptis]

What about making a 3" setup like this?

[oscolivar1]

yea interested in a 3 inch setup like this...

[aye mate]

I don't want to speak for Randy, but I think the reason behind making a 3.5" system is because there are already plenty of 3" systems out there. They might have the same exit angle as this system but they do their job.

[Isphius]

Yes, But it would be cool to see a total 3" turbo back exhaust from one supplier, And not a corporate one. I am a big fan of one owner shops and parts operations, Especially when the owner/operator is as involved in the fan base as he is. But I will be getting this 3.5 exhaust as soon as cash allows haha.

[becauseican]

I will be offering a 3" in the future, one thing at a time though.

[Mo87NA]

Man, I really like this exhaust. I think my set-up would benefit from the 3.5" piping. Looks liike I'm gonna have to sell my Blitz Nur-Spec off my NA and get this....

[GotToyota?]

It's a nice exhaust, but it shouldn't be more expensive then the Nur-Spec, RSR GT2, Tanabe Medallion, etc.

-Matt

WHy not? I would take randy's masterpeice over "the rest" anyday.

Just look at it.

[GotToyota?]

I respect what Randy has done and everything, but an INTRODUCTORY price of $600 is ridiculous, it's not worth that much, no matter how good of quality it is.

[SupraJDS]

^^Yup Yup same here

[s383mmber1]

I respect what Randy has done and everything, but an INTRODUCTORY price of $600 is ridiculous, it's not worth that much, no matter how good of quality it is.

Its not worth that much to you. It may, and certainly is, worth that much to others.

I am more than willing to dish out a couple hunder bucks for randy's fine exhaust system.

[GotToyota?]

If you're willing to spend nearly $250 then everyone else JUST to support a member, then go for it.

-Matt

[s383mmber1]

If you're willing to spend nearly $250 then everyone else JUST to support a member, then go for it.

Not only am i supporting a member, im buying a damn nice exhaust.

This look ten time better than the nur spec. (which i hate)

[GotToyota?]

Not only am i supporting a member, im buying a damn nice exhaust.

This look ten time better than the nur spec. (which i hate)
I wasn't saying that it was better then the Nur Spec, or anything of the sort. It's a beautiful exhaust, don't get me wrong, but let's add up the cost to do all of this:

Magnaflow muffler - $150 (at the most)
Piping - $75 (at the most)
Resonator - $50 (at the most)

These are all assuming that this is what it costs him to make this, totals to $275. He is charging $600, and that is just the going rate, WITHOUT a resonator. If he was really here to helpout the community, and wanted to sell more, it would make sense to sell it at about the $400 mark, I think that would be a good price (I do realize it would be more due to shipping though). I just think the $600+ price is ridiculous, that's all.

Ok, thats your opinion and you know what mine is! Lets not scramble up any more pages of this thread considering were going in cricles :)

[bowtiebuba]

i think the exhaust has a very heavy price for what it is also. but this is like randy stated a hand made part and can be done any way you want, also it is very very nice but is it worth the money? maybe to the rite people i have the hprse powerfreaks 4 inch, and it was $800 so for 3 inch u pay about $450 and for the 3.5 inch you pay $600, and then u have the massive 4 inch you pay $800. its all about how big of an exhaust you want/need and how much money you have.

[Dilsky]

Yes but Randy is here to make a living, this is his job and he has dedicated his work to us as Supra owners. He not only has to pay for that stuff but also for his shop and for all his equipment and time needed to make these items. He isn't a major corporation so you may have to expect to pay for that extra little personnal touch. He also develops new products and spends time experimenting with what we the people want. If that is not for the good of the community then I don't know what is. In my opinion it is completely worth every penny and more for a fully customizable fit, made to order just how you want it. Thanks Randy for all your hard work and dedication to Supras.

[Ckanderson]

Im gonna step in there. Gotoyota, and anyone else who wants to badmouth either Randy OR his product, you need to stay out of this thread. If you cant afford a 600 dollar exhaust, then please be quiet.

Lots of other members can, and would. Randy is making a very unique exhaust that is custom built to your specs.

Stay out of this thread or I will make sure you do ;)

[ToOsLoW]

It looks gorgeous, anxious to see what it sounds like. I may have to make a purchase.

[becauseican]

I really dont think I should have to justify myself here but I will.

GotToyota?- You have seemed to forget a few things such as the flanges, gaskets, band strap clamps, hangers, hardware and the custom boxes to ship the things which seem like little things but they really add up.......and the most important thing is labor and time to build the parts. I have spent allot of time working and developing this system to fit perfect and sound great. I take into account the cost of materials and labor, then compare with the closest competition to come up with my prices.

It does take quite a bit of time to cut fit and weld all the parts togeather, and I dont know about you but I dont / cant work for free. I rent a big shop and have lots of equipment to payfor. This is my own business that I started, and I simply cannot compete with the mass produced china made parts, so I specialize in custom hand made products built it the customers specs.

I saw a "hole" in the mk3 exhaust market. There is very few if any similar exhaust available. There is a ton of 3" exhaust available, and almost no 3"+ systems. The closest are the HKS Highpower ($730 and special order from Japan), HKS Drager ( $602 if you can find one) both in mild steel. The HPF Goliath which are $800 for the 3.5" or 4" systems in stainless steel. So take a look and se the price is quite competitive. I have had some experiance with "name brand" exhausts, abnd I wasnt impressed at all, they all seem to crack and fall apart within a few years, my brothers new Apexi exhaust was cracking and the hangers broke off in less than a year. I hand make my parts with quality materials.

Take a trip to your local High performance exhaust shop and get a price on a 3.5" system with a muffler.........

Randy, really no reason to justify your self. As i think Matt's the ONLY one on the forum who thinks so. ;)

Youll be getting a lot of my business as christmas comes around.

I jsut picked up your DDP though Shaeff (he ordered for me)

But i would LOVE to hear a sound clip!

[bobiseverywhere]

if someone want to buy this as a christmas present for me. I'll give you my address and just mail it on over.

Great Exhaust Randy

You'll be hearing from me once i have my 1JZ in and almost ready to run.

[Isphius]

Well randy himself beat me too this, But I was going to say, take a trip to an exhaust place, or even meinike, and get a quote on just a 3 inch system with muffler and hangers and a tip, Its like 1600-2000$. Its also installed, But thats a shitload more, And that makes the 600$ 3.5" handmade exhaust seem dam cheap.

[GotToyota?]

Randy, I did not know that the exhaust came with all of the little things as well, but since they do, then it isn't a bad price at all. When will you have sound clips up?

-Matt

[ViR2]

very nice exhaust ;) would u ship to Lithuania? For how much?

[kongykongfoomonk]

I know its probably already been asked, but how long after ordering and exhaust will it be till its shipped?

BTW - Gooood job attracting customers from Lithuania, quite impressive.

[HIDPLANET]

Looks like a well built system!
From an advertising standpoint, soundclips would definatly pull much more interest in this product. As soon as some people hear it, they will shell out the nash instantly for a great hand made to order product.

The over saturation of Chinesse made parts on the market is killing the auto market and sooner or later (in a few years) everyone will realize how poorly built the parts are and will refuse to buy them ever again. But until this time period, you will struggle like many others and hope to stay afloat.

Im in the same shoes when it comes to HID components :)

[becauseican]

I dont have sound clips right now. There is one local car here with the exhaust but it is a 1jz with stock twins on it. As soon as someone with a 7m purchases one then I will hope to have sound clips.

As for shipping to Lithuania........I am not sure, I will be shipping one to Portugal in the next few weeks, then I will have a better idea on price, but as a rough guess it will be about $250 for shipping to Europe, the box neede is just big, which makes it "oversize" and they charge extra for that.

[Jtuned]

hey can you just sell the muffler? If so how much?

[bowsercake]

this thing looks good!
I want to see video too. Someone get one!

[bobiseverywhere]

i would love to hear a sound clip with stock 1J's does he have the Y pipe and DP

[AGlobalThreat]

Randy I must say you build excellent products for the community.

[mattsplat72]

You are up in B.C. right? If so would you mind if I came up and took a look/listen .Most likely I will come up cash in hand . I really need a full system , and is their a shop close to you that can install it so I can sneak it past customs ? I have till end of the year before my temp resident permit expires . Then no more Canada for me

[Boost Lee]

Well, first glancing at the muffler, I wasn't crazy about it..but as I look at it, I am starting to like it more and more. :)

If I am going to spend this kind of money on an exhaust, as much as I need/want it for performance, I want to get a nice tone to it.
I currently have all 3" w/ an Arospeed exhaust (similar to HKS Dragger) and it isn't worth a lick. It's sooo quiet, and I hate it. I went from running Open cut out (3" Y-piece in place of Cat), to trying Open DP, and I decided to experiment (lol) and went open TURBO elbow...:runaway:

Crazy? Yes. Why am I doing it? I hate quietness...i want something loud (but clean), throaty & deep sounding. If you can get a sound clip (If there already is one, someone direct me to the page/link), otherwise, I might be very interested in this. :)

[SupraJDS]

Once a sound clip gets posted up, I'm sure it will sway my decision on what exhuast system to get:naughty: :icon_bigg

[Boost Lee]

Yeah...I mean, I know Randy can't do much for us until someone with a 7M buys one...so I'm not hatin' on that...but I think Randy will bring in several thousand dollars more simply from the guys that are on the borderline of buying it that just want to hear it first! :) (I, too, am one of them!)

Basically...Soundclip + $600 = 2 Happy people!

[Wills7MGTE]

HAHAHA I bought a blitz nur like 6 mos ago I may have to sell and get one of these lol muffler isnt all that but looks well made and free flowing.

[EdgeSupra]

+1 for Randy.

Im not looking to buy any bolt-ons yet, as my car needs too much stuff fixed first, but I WILL be getting this exhaust.
I was looking for an exhaust that wasnt popular as hell, like the NUR-Spec (not-angled) or the GTII.
I made a post wondering about making the new Tanabe Concept G Blue work with the A70 chassis, but now I dont need to :icon_bigg

Cant wait for a sound clip man.

-Justin

[mk3forme]

Yeah let here a clip with the 1JZ. I could care less what motor it is for now, I just want to hear some MK3 music. Great looking product by the way. I just dont care for round can. I really prefer a factory looking muffler. I dont know whats available in that size though. Anything??

[Alpinesupra]

very sexy i like.
-sean

[JENNY!]

i know im the 8th person to say this but sound clip then sign me up:]

[becauseican]

Ok I am working on getting a sound clip for you guys, 1jz and a 7m.

[JDMSupra]

This might be a silly question but, what difference is there between the piping of the 7M exhaust and the 1J exhaust? Is there any bend differences at all?

[Selz202]

Dont think so, catbacks are pretty much made around the design of the car itself.

[Boost Lee]

I want a 7M exhaust that has that deep rumble that typical MKIV's have.


:(

[mk3forme]

Yeah let here a clip with the 1JZ. I could care less what motor it is for now, I just want to hear some MK3 music. Great looking product by the way. I just dont care for round can. I really prefer a factory looking muffler. I dont know whats available in that size though. Anything??
So are there any other muffler options?

[starscream5000]

^ I am also curious as to what the new "slightly different tip" will look like. Can you post up a pic of the new muffler you have in mind? I don't quite care for how the tip in the first post keeps getting bigger and bigger out of the muffler...

[becauseican]

You are up in B.C. right? If so would you mind if I came up and took a look/listen .Most likely I will come up cash in hand . I really need a full system , and is their a shop close to you that can install it so I can sneak it past customs ? I have till end of the year before my temp resident permit expires . Then no more Canada for me


My shop is located in Vancouver B.C Canada, about 2 hours north of Seattle. You can come up and take a look, I dont know about a listen because I dont have one on any cars here, and my car is all apart and wont be running for a while. I have afully equipped shop and I can do the install for you too.

I will have a sound clip for you guys soon.

As for the 1jz difference- JDM 1jz cars have catbacks that are 1" longer than the 7m equipped cars, I can make them in both lengths, so most guys would want the 7m length exhaust unless you have a 1jz and downpipe on your car.

[starscream5000]

Bump ;). How's the new exhaust tip look?

[becauseican]

OK I found the tip I will be using for the production exhaust, it will be a 4" polished SS tip with a straight cut end, similar to the HKS High power but not as big. I hope to have pics soon and a sound clip up within the next week or two.

[Boost Lee]

*heh em*..

Hey Randy. :)

Want to know a secret? ;)

Boost Lee has a rushing Supra...with nothing but an open ported turbo elbow. :)

So..............Exhaust + DP sounds like something I "just" might be in the market for. ;)

Jeff

[becauseican]

Semd me an email I can probably work out a deal for a dp and exhaust.

I agreed with everything said here. I got lucky and got the Goliath 4'' for 600 shipped from HPF. If i didn't get that i would have gotten this.

Hey Just a question. This is a catback right...But what cat/flange does it fit on? Or do you just take that into account when someone orders one? Or will a 3.5" pipe fit on the stock cat? I already have a 3" DP uninstalled, But I just planning on not running with a cat, So if i get this, Could you make it for me to just bolt up to the dp flange? Of course i could measure it and take pics etc.

[becauseican]

The cat back uses a 3.5-3" reducer at the front and a flange with the stock flange bolt pattern, so it can bolt to the stock cat or a testpipe. For the guys wanting to run a full 3.5" system I can leave the front flange off and you can attatch it any way you want, slip fit, V-band whatever....

Garagefujimoto: yes my twin gt28r turbo kit is still for sale.

[HamsMKIII]

Randy,

I love the exhaust look alot. I actually like that flared tip you used on the first pictures you produced. I was wondering, could you shoot me a price on a 3.5" exhaust with a 3" test pipe and a 3" converter? I need to be able to bolt on a converter for emissions testing purposes. Shipping would be to 76179, Saginaw, TX.

Looks great buddy.

sent you a PM :)

[HamsMKIII]

Randy, Could you make the system in 4" ? I was just thinking about this....

- Chris

[becauseican]

Yes I can do it in 4" too, I will figure out the price. Do you want the second resonator or not?.

Randy

[HamsMKIII]

Hmm.... No, not on a 4" system.

Thanks Randy, let me know!

[MKIII MA-70]

interested in the 4" system also

[RTA Supra]

Man this thread is killing me! So tempted to have this on by TX2K7 :(

[bobiseverywhere]

sound clip?

[joliroger4]

Sorry, I just realized that first bulge in the piping is the 1 resonator. I would like pricing on the 4"(I dont want it reduced where it would meet the DP) system with no resonators, just a canister muffler straight tip(if possible) with it being long enough where I don't need a testpipe.

[Quin]

What happened to those sound clips?! :-p

[becauseican]

+ $80 for 4", so $680 for the 4". I will not offer a secondary resonator for the 4".

I have a 1jz car comming in this week for the sound clip, and I should also have the 7m sound clip this week too.

it's funny how mk3 owner's can bitch about a $600 exhaust. 3.5" and a nice one, and you get USEABLE HORSEPOWER out of it. try owning a 350z, paying $1500 for a decent exhaust, and getting MAYBE 6hp out of it. mk3 owners have it so easy. $600 is more than reasonable for something like this.

Wow $1500 for the 350Z that is one hell of a rip-off. Unless it's Full Titanium :)

or put a turbo on that 350Z then the exhaust would yield allot more results,, :)

I am not sure why people are complaining either. Even if you buy a Greddy, Apex-i, HKS or Borla Exhaust they would all cost you the same for less quality and much more for the same quality.

can't Wait to hear the 1JZ sound clip. Then i can decide on what to buy to replace my current rusting one. :)

[RTA Supra]

Can't wait to order mine :)

[becauseican]

I am taking orders now.

Randy

[Quin]

A kid in one of my classes paid over a grand for I think a 3" with a 4" tip on his Audi. No performance change. Loud but my dad's Celica is as loud...
Rusted open pipes- $0
Tom's 3" exhaust with a 4" tip- $1300
Free rust being hella louder than a $1300 exhaust job- Priceless.

lol

[aye mate]

Could you make it just 3.5" piping all the way?

Would that bring the price down any?

How much for one with no muffler or resonator and the piping extended to the rear at the same angle?

PM back if you prefer.

[becauseican]

Ok people......I just finnished making some 1jz and 7mgte sound clips, I just need to get them uploaded onto my website. They will be up next week.

Randy

[1988SupraDreams]

Hate to be another person to say this, but you got that Sound clip? I just might wanna buy this and your DDP depending on how it sounds with one of your downpipes.

[bobiseverywhere]

Where is the sound CLIP!!!:icon_evil

haha
seriously ive been waiting for the sound clip for a while, im also interested in the setup.

[RTA Supra]

turned down a great deal on a rare Apex'i cat back to get this one :)

[bobiseverywhere]

are you talking about the Apexi Exhaust with the Twin Pipes and Dual Mufflers The one they don't make any more

[becauseican]

The 1JZ soundclip/ video is up on the first post !!!!!

[oscolivar1]

The 1JZ soundclip/ video is up on the first post !!!!!

wow...
that sounds nice!!
ur going to have sound clip of it on a 7m right??

ne ways what are using on there..BIC dp, 3" BIC test pipe or cat? or none, 3.5 exhaust with resonator or none.
just wondering cuz i just fell in love:love:

[mk3forme]

yes that does sound good. I know it took alot to get a sound clip. I dont suppose you can post some video of actual driving. Like the car going down the road, and maybe one boosting full throttle. Just want and idea for everyday driving. I dont like alot of noise but I like deep tones. Sounds like this could be it. I would also like to know whether it had a cat or no, and the downpipe and did it have a resonator.

The car is a RHD JZA70 with a 1JZ, 3" BIC downpipe, BIC Testpipe, and the 3.5" catback with the optional resonator. I do have some more video's of the car doing exactly what you asked, driving by slowly and boosting. It has a nice deep tone and gets louder the more you are on the gas. It wil be allot quieter if you run it ith a catalyic converter.

I also have a 7M video but I need to format it so I can uplosd it onto my website. It is quite a bit deeper and louder sounding on the 7M, you can really hear the turbo spooling. I hope to get the rest of the vids up in the next few days.

Randy

[mk3forme]

Thank you sir. I will be waiting

[oscolivar1]

ill be waiting for the 7m sound clip

[Quin]

Yay sound clip! Too bad I'm at school and can't listen to it :(

But it looks so good. :evil2:

[Quin]

And now I'm not!:love:

[bobiseverywhere]

thats one sweet rumble

how much louder is it with out the resonator?

[mattjk]

I like it, but can you make one without that HIDEOUS flared chrome tip? How about a 3.5" brushed stainless straight cut tip?

[oscolivar1]

i think someone talked about the same thing as you are.
He said he can sell u everything other than the muffler and u can buy your own muffler....
i think the muffler looks great...but who cares what i think.

[becauseican]

That tip was just for the customers prototype exhaust. The production tip is a straight, straightcut 4" polished tip, similar to the HKS highpower.

The 7m video clip is now up on the first page. It also has the production tip that will be used.

[oscolivar1]

wow i love it!!!
sounds badass...

your using a bic dp, test pipe? resonator??
when do u think u can have vids of them running on the street??

[becauseican]

Both vids have the resonator, without it will just be a little louder. The 7m car actually has a Defcon DP which is basicly the same as the standard BIC downpipe with the integrated 3" turbo elbow. I have vids of the 1jz on the street but they are in a different video format that I cant host on my site yet.

[Quin]

Sounds reallll nice man

[89jdm7m]

Randy, will be ordering exhaust w/ resonator + test pipe possibly tomorrow, but deffinitely by fri.

my question is, do you take cradit cards, or should i just order through horsepowerfreaks.com? (i despise pay-pal)

Horsepower freaks doesnt carry the exhaust system yet. I havent hadf a chance to set it up there or on my website shopping cart, so Paypal or money orders is all I can do. I will split the PP fee's with you. PM me and we can work out the detials.

Yes, its still for sale

[kcheng]

how many inches is the tip? about 5?

[becauseican]

The tip is 4" in diameter, and about 6-7" long. I really wanted to stay away from the thuge 5" ricey looking tips.

[toyo4life]

Is it possible to get all stainless 4", and if so how much shipped to 08757?

[SupraOfDoom]

Is it possiable to get one with no angle for the muffler?

[89jdm7m]

Recieved mine quite some time ago w/ resonator. It's very quiet in the cabin, but have been told it's quite loud outside the car. Just perfect if you ask me. I'll be hacking the 3" reducer off of it shortly though :bigthumb:

[oscolivar1]

Dallas you should come over so i can hear it in person and maybe to help me when i pull out my motor this summer.

[becauseican]

Not really, the jig that I use to build it has it at an angle, unless I built another from scratch, and I dont have the time right now for that.

Randy

[89jdm7m]

sounds good, i'm in the middle of a 420ish whp build centered around a .70 a/r cool side/ .68 hot side garrett turbo. Right now, I trashed my autozone pressureplate (clutch is still good, lol), and i trashed my trans too, so this weekend i'm putting a different flywheel, different trans, spec stage 3+ clutch, and aluminum driveshaft in. Will be running full 3.5" exhaust :evil2: I'll get a hold of you soon though.

[oscolivar1]

Damn.... i didn't know you had done that much to your car....
where'd you dyno it??

Ill give you a call when i Need help pulling out the engine.

[EdgeSupra]

Not to be off topic but where in Virginia Beach are you guys?
Im stationed here on base (Oceana).
I see a bunch of mkIIIs driving around, just wondering if anyone from SM is around here.

[87soup]

It shoots out a LOT of smoke is that due to no cat and such large pipe diameter???

[oscolivar1]

I'm in virginia Beach.

I usta go to oceana a lot for Gym access, butnow im going to Gold's gym.
I live like 10-15 min away from the base. I live on Rosemont road; neighborhoods between Dahlia Drive and Holland Rd and Dallas lives like 5 min away from me.
We should meet up and talk supra.

Where in New jersey do you live...
I go down there a lot because of family somewhere near Old Bridge.

Sorry to be off topic...

Heard this in person today....real sexy...

[Fletch124]

If only I had $600 to spend on an exhaust.

[3.0T91]

Just saw/heard the sound clip today. Sold for when I go 1.5J!

[TurboToy-R]

Installed the full system from my Y-pipe back. (DP, Test Tube, Thunder) Sure has a race car sound to it now, performace boost on my 100% stock car was amazing, before my twins were struggling to hit the 6000mm/Hg boost level, now, they pinning the needle to the top of the gauge (estimated 13 lbs). I have gotten continuous comments on it where ever I go that it sounds perfect on my car, to fart sounds, no nasty ringing, just a sweet performance sound. The only complaint I have of the system is that if you are going to have this on your DD I would suggest looking into some sound proofing mat in the back of your car, everyone loves a loud exhaust, until you decide to do a 4 hour road trip.

If you don't mind my asking, but what brand/kind of resonator do you use?

[92nsx]

Price with out "fart" can on the end. To much rice 4 me, i have my own can.

[becauseican]

Price WITH OUT FART CAN on the end. To much rice 4 me, i have my own can. Local muffler shop quoted $250 with my own can. $250 is just there labor and 3.5" ss piping.


I can do $420 without the muffler and resonator, fully welded and ready to go without the muffler, shipping not included.
