First off, I'm sorry for this.
I'm punching out the cat for a customer today and realized that building a cat delete pipe for one of these things wouldn't be a huge deal.
First off I'm not in the performance market and I don't intend on getting in it. I think this would remove a lot of heat out of the back and with the aftermarket exhausts not gaining a ton of power per dollar its hard for a lot of people to pull the trigger on them, plus I think a HP or two might be possible with the slight restriction. I'm ordering a couple pieces today and I'm going to make a very quick jig for the cat and see if its feasible to whip these thing up for a reasonable amount of money to sell them. Everything would be tig welded 304 stainless and while its going to be hard to get them to flow perfect its not going to be hard to make them flow better than stock.
The question is, if I could make these for somewhere around the $200 mark would people buy them? I remember reading the other thread a while back and guys saying that at $150 it would sell all day but with the cost of materials, tig expenses and time, I don't think I can do it for $150.
Thoughts?
