Downpipe Group Buy

Just got a update from Evolve. They are selling the catless ones for $399, if we have 5 or more people interested we can do $260 per set w/o shipping.

For the Hi-flow version they said they will do 560 per set w/o shipping. They go for 600 per set.

Catless

2. Timwu13 94940
3.
4.
5.

Hi-Flow
1. Mkpoto's Friend

I already have one, but are you speaking of any down pipe in particular? There are several. Catless? High flow cat?

Before it goes too much further I think this all needs to be cleared with mods. The vendor might even need to become a sponsored vendor for a GB, but to 100% sure on that one.

I would definitely be in for this at the right price. I want a quality piece though. One that fits perfect with the OEM exhaust and has the build quality. Catted or non catted, not really a big deal for me.

Is there a projected time that this might get together? I would ideally love it here before mid Feb for my Mini HPDE.

Can anyone comment why the Evolve DP appears to have more welds throughout the pipe than the Miltek DP? Am I missing something here? I'm still interested in the Evolve. I don't know much about Miltek. I'm simply doing this because I'm interested in a quality DP if I'm going to make a purchase like this.

is this coming from the UK or a US distributor? When is the GB going to end? And could you provide a shipping cost to 94040?
