GB: Custom Made Cat-Backs, Guaging Interest Options

[elvasoshexai]

ok, Raptor Racing which is located in Toronto is interested in producing custom cat-backs for Toyota models that have little or no aftermarket support and offer quality cat back systems for these vehicle, provided there is enough interest. If the community shows enough interest, they will even start stocking these custom cat-backs for retail sale and possibly even start producing other exhaust components as well in the future.

The 6th gen doesn't have much selection when it comes to a full cat-back system (i think the greddy SP/SP2 is the only one and those are hard to find) so here is a chance to get another custom exhaust made

The systems are:
-either 2.25" or 2.5" or 3" Piping in Polished Stainless Steel
-mandrel bent
-tig welded
-come with polished stainless resonator
-made with stainless steel
-complete with all required gaskets
-made with stainless hardware
-includes a magnaflow muffler of your choice that has a 14" long muffler body with a 7" long tip

In order for this to even happen, the first run requires at least 10people + me (so total 11 people) that want the same size piping. (it's 10 + me because I'm going to bring my car in for the prototype one)

If there is also a bunch of people that want another size piping, dont worry, if we can gather another 10 people interested in the other size, they can produce it as well.

Each person is able to choose any magnaflow muffler their heart desires as long as it meets the requirements of having a 14" long muffler body with a 7" long tip (the specific muffler dimensions is because the test fitting will be done with that particular size)

It takes roughly 2-3months from the day the prototype is built until the production cat-back is ready to be released

In order for the shop to even start any work, they require a deposit of $100USD from each person in the group buy.

The price of these custom cat-backs is $400USD + Shipping. This is the cheapest price they can offer whether we have 10 people or 50 people.

Please note they will be built in Toronto Canada

Here are some pictures of the work the shop has done for other vehicles:

well.. you can choose from any of magnaflow's mufflers as long as they have 14" body length, and have a 7" long tip. diameter will be whatever you end up choosing.

um.. it's location would be where that size muffler would fit the best?

The muffler finish would be whatever they come as from magnaflow (i think they are all polished stainless steel) you can check out their website @ www.magnaflow.com

ST? GT? or both? I might be in. Are they different anyways? Any chances for a header also?

the differences for an st/gt would be piping size. st would require smaller pipe diameter.
when i first asked, it was 2.25" and 2.5" piping.
the 2.25" would be best for a stock GT/GT-S.
2.5" would be for ST or GT that plans to do engine work...
i'm not sure what size piping would be optimal for a stock ST as i don't have much experience with the 7afe.
it depends how many people we get interested.. if there are at least 10 people with an ST that are interested, i can ask about a smaller size.

as far as headers go, that'll ahve to wait until later. they have to see how much interest there is within the community first. If this GB flops, chances of it happening are lower.

so far we have:
