Update:
After doing more planning today at the shop there is a full jig being made out of a near new stock x pipe. We were able to finalise the designs today and rather than using my car a model there is now something more permanent in place due to the interest shown. Prices will be kept to a minimum and even with amortisation for the jig we should be able to offer better than USA prices in AUS dollars with local freight.

The system will come as 2 sections:

1 "Track" or Test pipes which will eliminate the OE primary cats and fit to the existing OE X pipe before the secondary cats. For many this will be a lower cost and good simple solution

2 The X pipe (mid section) will fit behind the "track pipes" and replace the entire OE pipe from the headers to the cat back. Offered in the following variants

1. Resonated X pipe with 200 CPSI Magnaflow HFC
2. Non resonated X pipe with 200 CPSI HFC (loud)
3 Quad resonated X pipe (Catless)
4 Dual resonated X pipe (Catless)
5 Straight through X pipe

Options 3-5 are risky if you are concerned about getting caught for a full catless system. The fines are substantial. The most practical all round will be option 1 but it will be good to be able to upgrade from track pipes simply by adding the next section when the Minister for Finance gives (or is conned into) approval. Providing these in 2 parts makes sense, if a full system is needed there is a saving in freight getting both at once.

This system will fit a stock rear section or compliant cat backs

The X pipe design is going to be different to OE, the X will meet just behind the gearbox as close as possible to the motor. I've run this system before and the power gains are noticeable, especially catless.

All of these will require an ECU tune to eliminate CEL and take advantage of the new power gains. I've been working with Mike Benvo (BPM Sport) for a while now and am a Distributor here for his ECU/DCT and coding. Many will be aware of Mike's credentials and excellent reputation. For those who want local support (my own background is Electronic Engineering and IT) this may be useful

What's the price?

The price of the X/Track is yet to be worked out, we can do that once the jig is finished. I expect them to be less than many current offerings.

Price of Tuning is BPM sports price list

would you run x pipe and tune combo specials?

There is a discount for multiple products in the tuning area (DCT/ECU calibration) and coding.

The X/Track pipes will be at a cost to members that will be as low as possible already, so there won't be anything really in that.
If Mike has the occasional special on with BPM products I'll make sure and post it

Again.. why is there no "Like" button on this forum.. The Dave's have done it again!

Yep agreed, great stuff .

Time to start on the finance minister

I just got back in from USA and will call our shop to see how the jig has progressed and post by the end of day :-)

Thanks Dave

I just spoke to the shop now and parts have arrived and the jig is under construction. Tools needed to do the proper flaring of the ball finishes at the end are now there. I have him under the pump, so I'll keep on it!

He is one of those guys who takes the time to get it right, now being back I'll keep the pressure on :-)

Great news, thanks!

This looks promising if also looking for a tune to go with test/x pipe

Updates:

After speaking with the manufacturer yesterday I'm told we should be able to produce the first setup within 2 weeks, then test fit on my car. We can then calculate costs and start shipping before Christmas all going well.

The following models have now been finalised

Track Pipe Front Section Primary cat delete, O2 bungs Model: Track Pipe



X Pipe: Connects to track pipe and comes in following variants

HFC options
1 200 Cell High Flow Cats (Magnaflow) - (where secondary cats were located)
Resonators (large) same position as OE resonators: Model HFC +2
2 200 Cell High Flow Cats (Magnaflow) - (where secondary cats were located)
Straight through after cats Model HFC X

Full Catless options

3 Small front resonator large rear resonator Model Quad resonated
4 Small front resonator/straight through (to cat back) Model Dual resonated
5 Straight through to cat back Model: Staight X

The system will be available as a complete system in any of the preferred configurations or as a separate part. For those who want a simple primary cat delete the Track pipe will be available as a standalone, if later designed the mid section X can be added

Tuning

After visiting Mike Benvo on a recent trip to USA I have now 3 End user cables available for a BPM sport ECU/DCT tune. Saving on freight is around $170.00. Now that I'm an authorised BPM sport Distributor I can offer local support.
Once these end user cables are gone freight will apply to restocking.

Dave does that mean you will come to Perth for tuning ?

That's the one Dave. I have 2 ECU/DCT licensed cables and 1 ECU (6sp manual) end user cable
