Wow this took forever for an update... We had to wait over 30 days to get a flange for this car!! The S-pipe is done and the test pipe is getting ready to be installed on our company car... We have to fix a minor thing on our car later today and hopefully we can get the sound clips for everyone... I am excited to get this pipe on the car. After you see the images of the pipes side by side, you will be too..

Woot, I have been very hesitant to upgrade my exhaust because of the ____ty fart can sounds that most produce, but if I can upgrade my header and the s-pipe and produce a not much louder sound I would definetly buy this from you guys, as it seems that ZPI cant get to ship out anything on time.

Ok... I have the pipe installed on our project car.... Its definitely noticable in the driver seat... The install was fairly simple and the benfits are overwhelming....
Right out the box you can tell this pipe is alot bigger then the old s-pipe. If there was no flanges, you could probably fit the old pipe inside this one easily.
The new s-pipe is 2.5" Mandrel bent piping and comes with stock flanges. I will have to double check with someone with a stock exhaust on their stock flange, but I am pretty sure its the same as our exhaust kit. With that said, this is a bolt-on application. As you can see in the pic the o2 sensor location is in the pipe and we have tested it with the antifouler and it all still fits under the car.
As you can see, our test pipe is in aluminum. We will be offering this pipe as a Stainless Steel option as well..
Pricing should be available within 2 days as well... Gotta see if we can get a price break on the flanges. Also look for a special possibly for the first 5 buyers.. Details will be coming soon on that.
IN regards to dyno... At this time I am in the process of building my new shop and am unable to dyno the car. However if someone would like to do a before and after dyno, I can ship you the test pipe we have.
Thanks

Grrr... Forgot to post about the sound....
The rasp that we are all getting from the headers is stil there... however its alot deeper and more refined honestly. The car has a deep tone to it and I absolutely love it. I will be installing a resonator (will offer it as an option on our exhaust kits) to help reduce the rasp.

Will have the item added to the website asap....
Alum Version - $150 + Shipping
Stainless Version - $175 + Shipping
I will be happy to take phone orders TODAY for the first 5... For the first 5, I will offer 25% off the above price. ONLY FOR THE FIRST 5.
At this time, since I am still waiting on flanges.. there will be a 7-10 delay on shipment of the S-pipes.
Thanks
