69610, ATTN: ANYONE in Southern California with a Star kit!!!! Posted by GhEttOrAiD, Apr-22-04 10:40 AM
The ADFX Downpipe Group Buy is ... not going well to say the least.
I know of a guy in LA (somewhere near it I'll confirm with him) who is currently making downpipes for Volvos.
priestmike: yea i can do that GrnVolvoPimp: cool priestmike: or even a stock DP priestmike: might heelp priestmike: we just make it 3" priestmike: or hell priestmike: 4" priestmike: i have a volvo friend priestmike: w/ a 4" DP on his 15g priestmike: he says it spools stuipd fast priestmike: like 17psi by 2100 rpm priestmike signed off at 1:23:57 PM.
If he can use your car as a prototype, he says he can turn several out and sell them to other 2gnt'ers.
No price or time frame has been established, I just had that conversation a few minutes ago. Don't know ANY more details at the moment but I'll keep this thread updated..

4 inch no worky, I'm pretty sure 3 is going to be the limit.

I live in Whittier, and that guy is an idiot. Anyways I dont have a star kit, and everyone I know with one wouldn't let that guy within 100 yards of their car.
