Good to see these going back into production! I have no plans of ever letting mine go.

Did the spring 2014 production ever start? I'd like to get in if it's still possible.

From what I understand, production has been canceled indefinitely.

No biggie. I drove behind a car the other day without cats. It stinks. If a cop ever pulled up behind me, I'd be screwed. I hear the fine for messing with catalysts in California is pretty big.

Judging by the commentary in this thread, I think there are quite a few people that feel exactly the opposite.

I have read a coouple stories of the gintani x-pipe developing cracks in teh welds which had me second guessing this route. Gintani was my second choice but this and the very long lead time have me not making a move on it. If a quality used one came up for sale that problem would probably be ironed out haha

Wizegi///M3 · 06-21-2014, 04:10 PM

So is this X-PIpe not going back into production?

mj89h · 07-01-2014, 11:28 PM

i called mrf today and didn't get any answer :|

SilentAttack · 09-04-2014, 10:30 PM

any updates on this exhaust?

wrecklessfool · 01-22-2015, 09:29 PM

I emailed Malek a few weeks ago regarding the x-pipe and this is the response I got from him copied and pasted from the email:

It is no longer manufactured because the state of California does not allow any exhaust manufacturer to build a product that tampers with Emissions. That includes MRF, Akrapovic and etc unfortunately.

I will stick up for Malek here and say he is correct.
The EPA dropped the hammer hard on the state of CA a short while ago. Even the diesel guys were almost run out of town. Banks almost lost their business because of it. No manufacturer from that state is allowed to manufacture a product that defeats a emmision component. No matter off road use or not.
One can apply for a EPA Waiver but once it is registered the vehicle becomes unregisterable for the road. It is then a race car only or in the case of diesel a tractor pulling truck or farm truck.

squartus · 01-23-2015, 07:30 AM

Hopefully some of these shops will leave the state or atleast make shops across the state border, this is a lot of lost revenue.

Malek@MRF · 01-23-2015, 12:37 PM

Gentleman, MRF is working on getting an EPA waiver to continue production of this mid-section. But until the EPA allows MRF to sell these pipes, manufacturing stops.

All hope is not lost and I am working on it!

This is great news!! I'll hold off on picking up an x-pipe until yours are available. Almost pulled the trigger on one too before I saw this. Do you have a time you anticipate you'll get the approval and begin production? Please put my name at the top of the list!!
