Excellent to hear.

Pricing-

Intro Pricing-
$1399 for both E90 and E92

$1799 with High Flow Cats for both E90 and E92

Regular pricing-
$1599 for both E90 and E92

$1999 with High Flow Cats for Both E90 and E92

These systems bolt up to the downpipes and are sectioned into a front, mid, and rear section (mufflers) comprised of flanged joints, no resonators, and no need for an X-Pipe to ensure the best possible flow through the usage of fully divorced piping from the turbos back. Horsepower gains as read on a Dyno Dynamic on a completely otherwise stock E92 335 Steptronic (Except for the AE system) were 12whp and 9wtq. I'm awaiting the dyno operator to send us a dynograph for us to post from the runs still, and will post it as soon as I get it. (hopefully soon)

Any other questions or things I may not have touched on that could be buried in the last pages, feel free to ask away so we can keep the top of the thread updated with all the information.

Thanks!

Nick

As jpsimon said, there should be pictures and videos in the initial link.

I have no ETA at the moment, we would need an E93 to look underneath to see what needs to be changed. We want to focus on getting the E90 and E92 systems completed first. We'll probably do something special for the E93 for pricing as well once its finish, dont worry.

All the soundclips are WITHOUT High flow cats. HFCs will make the system a little quieter with stock DPs, and I cannot comment on how it'll sound with catless DP's yet as we havent had a chance to test it. We do have someone who will be doing the testing for us though and will post videos when its done as I said in a previous post.

Whats better is that it will retain better emissions from the car without sacrificing as much horsepower as the stock restrictive cats do. These are 200 cell high flow cats. You would make more power with the cat-delete system. We are mainly offering the HFC option for those with catless DPs so that they can still run cats somewhere in the system to keep closer to emissions requirements and hopefully eliminate the foul smell running no cats gives off. (bullseye for getting hassled by the 50)

ducati955 · 04-03-2008, 05:54 PM

hmmm, well in ny we are ok, maybe no cats at all for me, can't wait for all these tests to be done!

jpsimon · 04-03-2008, 06:53 PM

I'm in CT. no cats for me

Didn't see any pics of the whole system in the thread. Are there pics of the complete system either uninstalled or installed?

!Xoible · 04-03-2008, 08:07 PM

it's not released yet, i'd wait for the official thread.... should go see it in person though

Mr. 5 · 04-03-2008, 09:42 PM

Hey Nick,
It would be great to see a picture of the complete system if you have one.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorow.

We should have pics of a completed system in the next week and a half I think so that everyone can see it before the order is complete. I'm sure you'll probably be pulling up any minute now to check it out for yourself.

Good, thanks.

Nick@aep · 04-07-2008, 06:45 PM

Question for you guys...

How many of you would say that you are interested in High Flow Cats? Reason I ask, is that I have to decide roughly how many kits we're going to build with them and the sooner we know, the shorter amount of time it'll take to get the bits and pieces required to build them up this way. I know this will primarily interest catless DP cars, but feel free to chime in regardless so we can get a feel for it.

-Nick

jeho · 04-07-2008, 07:35 PM

CATLESS FTW...

catless DP + catless exhaust == pure free flowing == more power

and why would you pay for something restrictive when you just paid for a catless DP >.<

Digital.James · 04-07-2008, 07:38 PM

I'd entertain catted exhaust, but honestly leaning more toward catless.

Nick@aep · 04-07-2008, 08:55 PM

Good, so far it seems like our initial thoughts of only a fraction of people wanting the catted system is pretty accurate. Keep the responses coming though, incase we're off by a little.

Thanks!

ducati955 · 04-07-2008, 09:18 PM

all catless for me as long as the sound is nice

to keep as much gains as possible but stay legit?

Catless DP + catted exh. is a nice compromise imo.

jpsimon · 04-08-2008, 10:28 AM

The term "legit" is relative. In CT I can run completely catless even though we have to do emissions testing at some point. My completely catless WRX passed emissions testing, and so will my 335
