Group buy is open.

These will be made in groups of 3 or more soo what that mean is I will not order the parts for just one setup. It will be first on the list first to be made. Obviously it takes time for me to make these, and get all the parts. Like with all of the Skunkworks Autosport group buys updates will be posted in this thread.

When there is 3 or more people I will inform those people where to paypal including shipping. When you put your name on the list also post your zip code.

You would have a few options as far as mufflers,resonators, cats and tips, also would be 2" piping. This would be for under the gas tank as pictured. Obviously if you wanted a H pipe it would be more as well as certain other features. All the bends would be mandel not crush bends.

Could possibly work out something so that it bolts to the back of the Nautilus Performance down pipe for the turbo kit to make use of the 2 2" pipes.

Remember this is a true dual kit that will show up at your door that you can bolt on yourself. Not have to take it to a muffler shop. No other company is offering anything even in the same neighborhood as this.
Many CEG'rs have paid over $1200 for custom true duals. Obviously I should state that this would be for offroad use only, especially if you where to go without cats.

Off the top of my head these are the company's that i would deal with.
Spintech
Vibrant
Thermal
Magnaflow
Dynomax
Dr. Gas

Alright I have priced everything out and this is what you would get.

An Aluminized 2" tru duals with flex pipes, all mandel bends, the pipes to connect to the exhuast manifolds/headers, Spintech or Thermal mufflers and choice of tips. It will show up and all you have to do is bolt it up to the manifolds, put on 2 exhuast clamps(or have it welded) and hang the exhuast.

You choice of tips

Attenion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disclaimer: This dual exhuast passes under the gas tank. Skunkworks Autosport and Myself are not liable for imporperly installed exhuast systems. There should be a heatsheild installed to minimize the amount of heat that is transfered to the gas tank area. Improperly installed exhuast systems can lead to melted gas tanks and a fire hazard. If Skunkworks Autosport feels that you do not have the mechanical apptitude to install this exhuast it will not be sold to you.

Do you have the graphs for the before/after dynos? Those peak numbers are great... I'm just curious how they compare across the range. Also, what would shipping be to 85032 for res and for business?

Oh.... did you ever get a newer video of your current setup (magnaflow w/o rasp)?
 
There is some in-car videos of it on Gingerman Raceway should be able to tell what it sounds like inside.

Heres my stock graph

I am surprised this isnt taking off now that you posted your HP/TQ gains. If I had a little extra $ I would be all over this, already have some MSDS headers sitting in the basement. This would be a better deal then getting an aftermarket y-pipe and exhaust......and a lot better HP/TQ gains


.....I keep watching your classifieds add, hoping nobody snatches it up before I come up with a little extra $$$
 
The exact exhuast I have on my car will be for sale once the turbo goes on. Then I will probably make a single 3" add on for the Turbo guys
 
those hp/tq gains are incredible will you always have these available. or is this a one time deal . I need time to come up with the cash.
 
I would get this right now if I wasn't a chicken s#*& about it running under the gas tank. I need a new exhaust.
 
I have heatshields that can be purchased to protect the gas tank. I don't have shields and there is no issue at all.

Not sure how long I will make them rance. Come up with the money and ill fab it up onto your car.

Those are some pretty impressive numbers. what do you think the estimated power lost would be if you opted for the high-flow cats?
 
a few HP at most. The cats I use are straight through design so should work exteremly well
