Is there any info on the UUC Motorwerks exhaust?

I really want it, but haven't heard about it in a while.

Thanks!

Hold in there guys. Randy is away for a few days. I think he's supposed to be getting one in for testing within 2 weeks.

I was told it will be a few more weeks. I should have one when they become available. It should be worth the wait.

just got the supersprint exhaust today.

noise - not very loud but loud enuf when in full throttle.
performance - 1000 - 4000rpm, not much diff., 4000rpm up noticeable difference.

i'd say the sound is quite similar to UUC exhaust....

Dan,

It will be here in a matter of days I've been told - not too long now!

I too am looking forward to getting it here. I want it to be successful after all of the work that has gone into it. We'll soon see!

Randy

SMG,

It was great - the big loop was Great Sand Dunes National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, Four Corners, Shiprock, Grand Canyon National Park, Mexican Hat, Canyonlands National Park, Moab, Arches National Park, back through the Rockies and Vail Pass home. Absolutely beautiful! The US has some of the most dramatic scenery in the world.

I haven't gotten the Supersprint here, though I welcome it. I would love to do the comparison on it to the other cat-backs out there. I would also like to compare the header to the Mania and London Stainless, but I haven't had any luck getting one from the supplier. I just can't swing the full price of the system, and can't get one on loan or at a reduced price. Were you able to get yours at a reasonable price, and how do you like it?

Randy

my system includes the followings and it's about 900us installed.

1. Y pipe
2. left muffler
3. right muffler
4. dual round tips (dtm/viper also avail for me to choose)

but missing the centre pipe....it'll be here soon.

the Y pipe is currently connected to my stock centre pipe using an adapater supplied from supersprint and i can see there's a slight diff. in pipe diameter but the sound is still really good....

before the installation of the exhaust, i can only hear the charger whine and now i had sound from both front & rear.....and at 5000rpm, the exhaust is even louder than the whine.....amazing....i'd say the noise is almost as loud as the magnaflow at 5000rpm up but no where near as loud below 4000rpm...the performance gain is mostly 4000rpm up....guess this happens to most after market exhausts.
