Made specifically for another member who has posted up some pics in the mod thread. A factory midpipe replacement for use with the HKS SSM rear section and with a custom tailored resonant path. I designed the crossover tune to have a unique appearance and blend into a 3.5 diameter resonator like the factory pipe. Just sharing, I could make another but it was tricky to complete with any schedule given the other things we have going on. Just posting it as display for now. For serious inquiries contact us. Can also be made into a 3.5" rear section all the way back.
Thanks Mike

Intersting, so this only fits with the HKS SSM Cat-Back?

This is a factory mid-pipe replacement. So it fits with any axle back.

Mike, Is there any advantage to your design versus the stock mid-pipe with a simple secondary cats delete as far as flow, any hp gains and weight savings over the stock unit?

If you could make these out of titanium, that would be something else, what do you think?

The big advantage was drone for this customer. I tuned this via selective frequency interference based on the spectrum of the factory pipe and its drone center frequency. It also will flow better than the factory because it does maintain 2.5 throughout. The factory system drops diameter in several places to a near 2" dia. I think it sounds better than a dual 2.5 because of its a 3.5 merged collection point. The limiting factor is the factory connection which drops back down to 2.7" single for the HKS. Titanium, yes if you want it, I can build it. My 2:1 Ti system took a back burner to some other things with higher demand, but I plan to get back to it.

Easiest means of putting a cat into a Ti system is to do v bands on a stainless GESI cat. I have not found a manufacturer that makes them. To guarantee there is enough catalyst to make a difference for our emissions standards, that is the best approach IMO.

^ This would involve cutting the Ti System and inserting the Cats with V Clamps in the middle correct?

All rights, so can we get 2 Vibrant GESi High Output Universal Catalytic Converters (4" OD x 7" body length, 2.5" Inlet/outlet) and weld V-Band flange to each side of the cat ?
Obviously your titanium mid pipe would come in two pieces with titanium flanges where the cat goes , then just use couple V-Band clamps and are good to go right?
You could even offer optional straight pipe. Two piece unit will be easier to ship anyway.


This could be the answer you have been looking for :-)))

Any sound clips

Defratos

Can u elaborate? What exactly is that supposed to be?

How will this eliminate the need for cutting?

interested if:

-it will pass VA emissions
-make any difference in HP with stock everything else
-not cost like the Sikky headers

Novel exhaust goes from 2 to 1. Does this sound anything similar?

Cutting would still be required to add cats to a non-Ti system, or go slip fit with couplers. The customer has posted sound clips with the HKS SSM exhaust.
