4LS Exhaust Vents!

But bear with me. Every support engineer I had 1 year ago is now laid off, er uh, let me say it the official way ... "restructured." I'm the only one left, for a reason though. That's 5 guys gone. Which makes me VERY busy. No complaints, but some whining. Between work, a son in gymnastics, and a son doing full time BMX (while I chief mechanic), I've got a lot on my plate.
I've also applied my exhaust vents to an IS this past weekend. And they worked. But it was stacking vents there too. And the IS is different enough anyway, that I need a redesign. I have an IS-F guy wanting my vents, but I do not want to send him something that will either be difficult or not work well. So I'm working on a redesign (when I can) for IS vehicles. Suffice it to say, I stay very busy.
But listen, if I find that I can make it louder, I will upgrade you to the louder vents FOR FREE. And then offer it for the LS in a couple options, mild and a little loud (or something like that).
Thanks for being a (reasonable and) valued customer. Your feedback is important to me.

After taking the long way home yesterday from work, the sound is good. When I visit my Starbucks every morning I get compliments on my car almost every morning. This morning, I got a "that's real nice dude, realll nice." gave him the thumbs up. Then started my car and he took a double take, neck snap. Overall I like it. I don't think I want it any louder...
about not posting pictures and such, I think you should... if people want to go out their way and make this product... let them, We have enough proof you've been selling these before anyone else who would try. I'm no legal expert but, if one were to duplicate, copyright, and hit you with a lawsuit. you'll be alright.
Most folks will not spend $100 blindly. Show them the..mm..vents !

Pictures...
I'm going to try to get a picture of these TODAY after work. Based on the reasonable thinking of GR6RR.
I'm going to try. But I get crushed most days. My sons are out of town currently so I have some free time after work. To be honest, I don't have pictures, just what I've done to prepare these and get them ready for you CL guys and gals.
And, maybe I should ad this to my ad --> If any customer purchases these, and hates them, or think they're crap, I will refund 100% of the purchase price, once the original Vents are shipped back to me and received.
Dr. Jekyll - I'm trying hard not to let your comments offend me. It takes all types to make the world go round. Your type is no better or worse than my type. I'm not perfect. Maybe you're more skeptical than others. I'm not a bad guy, and have no bad intentions. But, maybe an analogy, me being an engineer, I'm sort of like a race horse (or maybe any horse) with the blinders on to keep him from being distracted. I have a perspective of what is important to me. I need to take my blinders off and put myself in the shoes of others, like you, and provide to you what is important to you.
I'm going to do it. I *may* have exposure to a picture studio. I'm going to see if I can use said studio to take some non-sucky pictures of the real live product. I don't like doing things half arsed, or even 0.9 arsed. I like to do it right. Although right now I've got a killer headache and my head is spinning, getting a bit nauseated. I'm going to take a handfull of pills and hope I feel like becoming a fashion photographer after work. And, I'm having to use my mole to sneak into that studio ... and I'm not certain my mole still has access.
P.S. - I did get a picture, but got home late and had to do yardwork. Maybe today I will get a picture posted.

A picture of the actual Exhaust Vents...
Here's the picture so many have been wanting.
This is what you will receive, plus instructions.
It does have OLIVER ENTERPRISES on the parts, it's just a bit difficult to see.

Seems like its sponge or foam ...
Basically its like 2 exhaust gasket with longer bolts and some foam ?

The foam is "box packing" for shipping the vents....... Of course you can always re-use it to wash your car or collect enough of them to make a pillow.

The original bolts are actually longer. I live in socal, so my bolts aren't rusted. I reused mine. Some in the rust areas, can get use out of the new bolts.
Thanks for posting the picture, you're always going to get feedback, rather it be good or bad. You just have to live with it. I like this mod, it was somewhat affordable and reverse-able for when I need to do my smog check every couple years..
#28
Basically its a gasket which makes a leak in the exhaust system
120 for that , Super expensive i think

This is a more elegant version of the classic washer mod. I do like that you can direct where the leaking exhaust gas is aimed, and that they can be stacked for additional sound (like washers can). I have been watching your various threads and figured this is how you were accomplishing it, and also why you were so hesitant to post pictures; it is a very easily duplicated design.
Value vs price is always subjective. The market will let you know if it's fair or not. And for Smog guys I doubt most Smog techs will catch this, especially on lowered cars. Too quiet at idle and hard to spot.
