Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy Brullen Cat-back

Ok, final details have been worked out!

Performance Fords will be hosting and organizing the group buy and it will run for the entire month of October. Shipments will occur up to 10-14 days after the close of the group buy.

Here are some details on the Brullen Exhaust system for duratec based contour/mystiques:

FEATURES:
Lifetime warranty
Quasi-dual design
16 guauge heavy wall 304 stainless steel construction
Flanged bolt-on points
- not slip connections like most other systems available for the Contour
Mandrel bent tubing
2.5" tubing from the catalytic convertor to the rear y-split
2.25" from y-split to mufflers and exit points
Fully welded mufflers
Stainless steel tips - high polish mirror finish

CUTOMIZING OPTIONS:
Tip sytles - Brullen Signature, slash-cut and DTM.
all tips are resonated except the DTM style

Tip sizes:
single tips - 3", 3.5", 4"
dual tips - 3", 3.5"

SOUND:
Quiet system - with 14" mufflers
Loud system - with 12" mufflers and larger core.

PERFORMANCE: dyno results on a stock 98 SVT Contour showed about 8HP peak and 10LB-FT of torque (results will vary but except within 1-2HP and LB-FT)

PRICE: $595US plus shipping
If we get more than 15 units than the price will definitely drop to a lower rate.

Thank You.

would there be a set up available for just one 2.5" pipe and muffler?

Hey Silver -

I hate to say it again, but what is so great about your exhaust system? How is it better/different than the other two $600 exhaust systems out there?

I am glad you guys are starting another performance supplier for the contours, and developing products. It is great. However, you know as well as I do, that you have to sell products to be sucessful. I am just wondering how you plan on selling these exhausts, when there are two others (Borla, Bassani) that cost the same (or less), and offer proven gains from established suppliers.

I was hoping for a lower priced alternative. I would rather try something like Aussie's exhaust set up on Chuck's car. At least I would get a Y-Pipe out of it too.

Just my opinion, but I don't see much interest in this. I would buy the Bassani if I wanted a $600 exhaust....

Later,
Patrick

I think both the Bassani and Borla GP are going for around $499/$500 right now, or cheaper.
I hoping we'll get more interest on this Brullen (more than 15 people) to try to lower the price.

I will chime in just to say that this is the first (I think) mandrel bent (most of the others are not) & stainless (some are aluminized) 2.5 inch for the SVT. Bassani and Borla are both 2.25 inch which has been shown to give about the same power gains on N/A 2.5 Duratecs, BUT, for those planning 3L OR S/C, A 2.5 INCH MANDREL BENT SYSTEM IS THE WAY TO GO.

I did not know that.

I thought the Bassani was full Stainless all the way back. Can someone let me know either way?

Thanks Dan.

Patrick

Bassani and Borla are both stainless, mandrel bent 2.25".

I can appreciate your comments pweizman, but there are specific design features the others do not have. This is not a cookie cutter system, you can customize it and that involves more work hence the slightly higher cost. All connections are flanged with gaskets for a tighter seal and not having the cheaper slip connection with a clamp.

Like I said, it can go for cheaper if we can generate enough interest, this is the first production run so I do not know the exact amount we can additionally discount them for but we are working on it.

Silver Bullet,
Glad to see we have more options as far as an exhaust.

But have one more question i have been pestering you guys at P.F.'s for a few months.......

How is your intake development coming?
can you give us a run down of what it is going to consists of?

i'm asking just for asking because i'd love to get the exhaust now but no dough. u said single and dual tips. does that mean i can get quad slash cut or dtms tips for the svt(twin singles or twin duals). So the quiet system doesn't have a center resonator? Is it louder than the stock svt exhaust. What r resonated tips. i know some of these questions may be answered when the website is updated.
