i'm still debating. i'm about 75% leaning towards getting it. when do i need to pay by since you already have enough people to start production.

thanks,
Michael

I would say within 2 weeks you should be safe and BTW get it this is a great deal so what are you waiting for.

man, thos of you guys that are waiting, be warned. Since the original ~20 people that were interested have disappeared and the list updated to ~7-8 sure buyers any extra pipes if any will be expensive. Youll be lucky if Dat still sells you one since it will be an extremely limited production. If you are interested in this pipe, buy now or youll be sorry. For all the buyers and 3 additional later buyers, thanks for the support and making this happen. :drinking:

fo sho fo sho!, haha, I'm just glad someone found a way for me to run with no-cat. legality issues asides, i'd always thought that the catylic converter is choking up so much of the exhaust system.
on a different topic. I told my buddy bout this group buy that i'm in, and he bought up a good question. I havn't actually gotten down and look at the stock y-pipe, but what was the original diameter of that? Whatever it is, it bolts up to the headers and the rest of the exhaust sytem exactly right? Well, since the straight y-pipe is of a bigger diameter (2.5", correct me if i'm wrong), how will it bolt up to the stock exhuast manifold and the pipe after the y-pipe (the resonator I guess) ? will there be a fitment issure? or are there gaskets to connect them?

by **CASTRO** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 8:55 pm

yes it will bolt up and there will be no fitment issues. Even though its different diameter, the flanges used will work with the gaskets etc.

Hey, I have a quick question about fitment,
I was looking at pictures i've taken of the stock Y-pipe and I noticed something

There's a bend after the flex pipe, and

a bend before the cat. But on the new y-pipe

it's straight throughout. I'm guessing the stock pipe was bent like that so that it can fit properly under the car. is this new pipe going to fit alrite? since it's going striaght and not bending over anything?

wait, I found this... so nevermind

by **DatSRBoi** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 9:46 pm

I had the whole pipe slant up to retain its "straight" Y pipe haha. I dont like too much bends. Bends=Pressure/restrictions...

Now too little bend is bad too, but this is not the case.

Plus I think it saves your pipe too when you bottom out.

sooo... is funboy in or out of the buy? just wondering cause a lot of people ask questions and act important and interested, but in the end, it was all talk. not trying to discourage people, but if its been tested and fitted before, it should work and there should be no questions about "are the hp increases worth it?" since it is ultimately up to the owner to decide if the solara is worth modding.

I feel you man. Im on borderline to failing as of now. My Gf HAS to make straight A's to get into dental hygene and every day with her is painful. Her eyes are red out just to stay A on classes. 2 science major classes at one time.

I wish I had a Camry or Solara to get one.. I'd be all over this. Maybe I'll be able to buy someones used one.. I'm lookin for cars still.. That's why my S/C hasn't been up for sale yet..

by **CASTRO** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:18 pm

I know that feeling tring to keep up with my 3 engineering classes 16 hr days are not uncommon.

I'm still in, I should be able to pay in 2 weeks or so if that's cool. I'll shoot for even sooner, though.
