No! Neither! This is a MES (Mandrel Exhaust System) list were working on! I and the Org helped creted a 3rd Gen catback and we'll help them create a 4th Gen line as well! You in? I would suggest you read thru most of the reply so far so you have a better idea about wghat we're doing! We do need 10 people, I'll say combined to get MES to start prototyping a 2.5"/3" catback for our cars....2.5" aluminized steel tubing kit $125/ 3" aluminized steel est'd $195....come on and join us! I'm rockin a crush bent 2.5" with a 2.5" x 22" long Cattman resonator and a noisy a$$ 13" Flowmaster 40 that's kinda on the noisy side of my personal sound spectrum! Ckeck it out and let us know yes or no....Thx

 

Once there is a definite price on the kit, Ill let you know if Im interested or not. Ill keep checking out the thread for updates.

 

What size are you interested in anyway? The 2.5" tubing is $125....3rd Gen is $195 for it's 3" so I can say that'll more than likely be the same price for the 4th since the layout and cars are relatively the same size! So either jump on the wagon or get left behind...Im not babysitting on this group buy....Either you're interested or you're not.....it's a freaking low a$$ price and either you want it or you don't!

 

hell yeah yo tell it like it is. the people on this board are so inept. you gotta spank em hard to get what you want.

 

the stock exhaust is well designed for people taking their children to soccer games and picnics...there is nothing cool about restrictive exhaust components for automotive enthusiasts.

@CMax03 put me on the list for this MES tubing kit. I'm fine with aluminized steel for now since I'm looking to run a 2.5 inch straight pipe set up anyway, but I'll want a 3 inch once I get into my boost build...hopefully this takes off and they'll have a stainless set up available by then.

 

The only restrictive part of the stock exhaust is the pre-cats and the cat really, its pretty well designed with no sharp bends that I recall on the b-pipe. Once you get up to about 250hp then you can increase the size because you NEED to as opposed to wanting to or for sound purposes. With a Y-pipe and high flow cat the stock system isn't bad unless you plan on going high HP.

I never once said it was too expensive, just wanted to know a set price on the kit before I commit. Are our options only aluminized steel at the moment or will stainless steel be an option? Also, what are we looking at time frame wise? Going to put my 2.5" set up for sale since Ill be going to a 3" with this group buy.

 

Op, is everyone set on getting the kits through mes or are we open to options here? Vrs makes some nice kits and there around the same price. Im sure theyd be willing to work out a group buy with us.

The price for the 2.5" aluminized steel is set.....The first production catbacks will be aluminized steel 2.5" tubing kit, then the SS and 3" will be available....I've already setup a list that's gonna be with MES and Josh from Mes is whom I worked with before getting a catback made for the 3rd gen community....in which I bought two (2) of....Again I'm pretty sure that the prices will be identical to the 3rd gen since the routing and length are almost identical...Josh emailed my and I posted it on this thread pg 2, reply 45.....
