Nice numbers! What kind of dyno was it? We will get you a new muffler section as soon as it is finished.

I was at Hank's(our manufacturer) today and snuck a peek at the jig. Its bascially done, apart from the weld holes. He is making a test peice this week.

We are working on using an insert style muffler like you see on race bikes.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Thanks for the reply. It wasn't a Mustang Dyno, but I don't know what kind it was. The guy that was dynoing said that this model gets within 1% of the actual WHP. Look forward to a new muffler, the last thing I want to hear at WOT is a rattling noise.

What about the resonator Brian? I am looking forward to getting the resonator because I feel as if this is the missing link.

That is being taken care of as well.

By looking @ the dyno plot it looks like you were on a DynoJet

Ouch... Ya cut me real deep.

Hank has devoted all of his time to try and get this thing finished. Look for a re-release soon.

Wow....you have some VERY expensive things in there! I guess you went the more expensive route, rather than the cheaper route. Oh well, your money! But, could you list your brakes and M7 stuff please? And some pics!?

Thanks,

Since I was there in the beginning, I feel like at least this exhaust's "uncle" ...... I am glad it is coming around and finally getting done.....what a "trip" and a tribute to Randy's tenacity.

My best,


Bob

StopTech in front, Brembo rotors in the rear,SS braided brakelines, M7 USS. I've done so much I've forgot most of it. I guess I should set down somewhere besides the driver seat & make a list of everthing. For pic's check my gallery, cause I'm not smart enough to do it any other way.

Okay when is the "good" exhaust going to finally be out?? I tried to get an answer out of Brian by pm-ing him but 4 days later still no luck. I'm going to be pissed if I can't get this exhaust within a reasonable time frame, considering we've had ambitions of grandeur of this thing since October, when I order the parts for my car next week.

Still working on it - and I haven't made any promises.

I have available the original version - but I still want more changes, so haven't sold but a few to guys who are almost beta guys willing to help out.

I hope to have the production version, with some added new tricks, available in July, but that is by no means a promise.

Hope that helps,
Randy

I didn't mean to say it was a "promise" but this thread was started back in October, and I would have thought that it would have at least been out by now, I'm not mad at all, and thankfully I wasn't going to mod my car until this time, and July is cool by all means, but I'm just kinda confused why we only heard a few words about the M7 exhaust before it came out, but yet we have 26 page thread on this one, which for all intensive purposes isn't out on the market yet.

No but it's cool man, I don't want to sound argumentative, and I'm sorry if I did... What is exactly wrong with the current version?

Most people think the system is too loud. Randy must feel this way if he continues to fiddle with the design. There was a change of manufacturers, trying to control the cost of the valve, and there might be others. The only problem I have with the system is loose baffling in the muffler with rattles and is kind of annoying at times. Brian assured me that I will get a new muffler at some point, but I have learned to be patient because the whole process is long and takes time. I am lovin' the system and look forward to some new tricks.

No problem Mikey - we didn't start the thread, and wouldn't have. I think there are 26 pages on this system because it is truly revolutionary.

I just want to make it acceptable to folks with headers in the closed position. We are also working on another tweek that I'll keep to myself .

Thanks for the continued patience!

Randy

NO PROBLEM! I personally (and my friends for that matter too) can't wait to get this system on my car. I too think it is truly revolutionary and goes where no system to date has before, and when I considered other systems I immediately came to the realization that none of them compare. I'm pretty stoked and am happy to hear that it is almost completed.
