I have since decided against the dual reso pipe, I just had a full 3" SS cat delete pipe constructed using RB flanges, O2 sim, and install for $125. I hope you guys get the group buy. Sorry I won't be joining in.

I just laser cut a small batch of the 2 bolt flanges today and plan to run the 3 bolt flanges Monday. It appears that I will have a donor car to use soon, thanks to a local owner and good forum member. Thanks Hobby! I am expecting a few of the resonators in early next week for review. If they meet quality requirements, I'll build a prototype and see where our costs will come out looking like. Stay tuned!

Full stainless, full 3". I would really like to have a stock piece on hand for building the jig and we can run from there. Anyone interested in letting us use one for jig fitment in exchange for a reduced price, or possibly free, MP?

For the pricing above, I would need at least 10-20 buyers for that price reduction. Otherwise, it would be in the $425-475 range for single purchasers. I will check some of my other sources on some of the items to see if I can get a better price break. I'll update soon.

425-475 seems pricey

I'm interested in getting one in the next few months. Racing Beat has said that they are going to start making them, but I'm sure their price will be comparable to Mazsports. If someone releases one with a bung already welded in for an AFR/EGR sensor so I didn't have to have to take it and have a muffler shop do one and get all the shaving inside of it, they'd definately get my business.

you don't need an extra bung for the wideband...use the one that is used to monitor the cat. since you are deleting the cat, it makes that o2 sensor useless. you will throw a CEL either way.

Is there any way that bungs could be built in for the o2 sensor or other sensors. Yes, I know the o2 sensor would throw a cel, but we could always to the fooler mod.

gotta love more options!
The RB one sounds very promising but this could also be another good option for us.
can't wait to hear reviews
