I heard the FMIC is now $650 on GB?

I may be willing to get full exhaust and FMIC if they are all on GB discounts; cheaper than what I was quoted before.

PM me

i contacted alex about the hi-flow dp last week. they're currently not looking for testers b/c the hi-flow is still tripping a CEL. they're working on a CEL delete.

Correct, we are working on something right now. Be patient as we are moving to our larger new facility!

I see what you're trying to do here and I don't like it. Evolve is doing their best to give the best prices for their products, if you can't pony up for their current GB prices, I'd suggest looking elsewhere or wait 'til you can afford to buy their products....

I don't see what the/your problem is and I think that price is quite plausible.

DP is $260 shipped on GB.
FMIC is $650 shipped when combined with DP.
Rest of exhaust is $689 + shipping.

That would come out to $1599.

So give a $99 discount and not charge additional shipping as these items are being shipped from UK to US in bulk and will be distributed here. Furthermore, it can be in 1 package which would ship for a lower price than shipping 2-3 items separately.

ah, cool. i never knew about the crevier meets, and i bought my car there! i know a few of the guys out that way - all really cool. i might try to swing by thurs, but prob can't hang too long. how large are these meets? and will i be able to pick you out from the crowd? if i'm there, i'll prob be the only green mini with black rota rb's.
btw, i picked up the de-cat dp. since we can't pass visual either way, there really is very little reason to get the hi-flow, as it's quite a few $$$ more.

can you reply to my pm? or yet, can you can answer the following.

Cat less dp vs high flow, can i assume that the cat less is nosier than high flow? If so, it is really loud? it is too late to get in the gb with cat less or high flow dp and fmic? thanks.

So i just got my evolve catless downpipe literally 15 min ago. From the time I got my tracking number to the day i received my package was 2 days which was fantastic. The beads look good overall, minus the o2 bungs, but i know those aren't the easiest thing to weld, but they looked rushed. The welds by the turbo flange were grind down which is very nice. There is quite a bit of spatter around both o2 bungs and the bracket which could be the result a lot of things, but it could be easily fixed by using some type of anti-spatter. And there is maybe 1 spot where the weld is thin. but i'm not worried. Maybe i'm nitpicking. Overall i'm very pleased for the price and i can fix the burrs around the 2nd o2 bung.

Overall Kudos to Evolve for offering a good product at a good price. Should be installing it sometime early next week and will get back with my results. I'm kind of scared as I will have no cats and no resonator, just the rear muffler.

Agreed. I think I'm going to end up putting like an 18" glass pack in at some point. Should be super cheap for a muffler shop to do.
