There is a company down here in florida by me that is using my car to make a prototype exhaust. The guy that was working on my car yesterday said that they plan on making 2 or 3 systems, which ever works best. They are hopefully finishing it up this weekend to send out for the actually exhaust. So if anyone is interested in this exhaust when it completly done i can see what the prices and everything are going to be.

Oh by the way, the guy frank that worked on my car is routing a front mount intercooler for it, hopefully at the same time.

Also, He said that he is going to try and make a header for the car as well.

When everything is done ill post some pictures of it for everyone to see.

That's sweet. By any chance this guy making it wouldn't have a SRT-4 or have worked on one. On the SRT-4 site they have a guy with the screen name Exhaust Depot and he was making a prototype for his car.

Yea thats him, his name is Hector. That car is so incredibly fast he pulled a 14.1 at the track by us, which is where i met him. I was very impressed with that car, looks so sick. Except for the wheels.

I forgot to mention that they already made a "prototype" for a CAI for the car. Its on my car right now, im getting better responses from the car and can hear the turbo spoolin a lot better. I'm not real sure if they are going to start making the CAI yet. they just threw it together in about an hour. Ill try to post some pictures of it in a day or two.

man that's awesome. I was really considering an SRT-4 but just the fact it doesn't have as many "features" as our cars. I guarantee those are hella fast though. So will they be able to ship these exhuast, since i live in ohio?

Actually for a bone stock neon, i would have never figured that they would have came out with a 13-14 sec. neon.

And for the price they're charging for it, that is pretty fuckin good.

oh btw we have 10 sec street cars out there all the time

A 14 second neon, costing 19,995, and being purely stock is pretty damn fast to me. Plus there are uprgrade kits coming out from mopar and that thing should be in the low 13's. That's fast for a daily driver. And yes I've been to many drag races and have seen cars run 9's and 10's.

don't get too defensive. you just sounded in awe at a 14 sec car so i figured you'd soil yourself when you saw something really cool

I am interested is a dual exhaust like the one on the wings west protege. Or at least a look alike dual exhaust.

Sorry if it sounded like i was pissed, its just that i was shocked that dodge would actually come out with a fast neon comparing it to the old neon which is just as fast as my remote control car.

I can see what they can do about the dual exhaust, but if you want dual exhaust dont you have to cut the opposite side of the bumper like how the stock exhaust comes from.

What are these exhausts including? Is it a cat-back exhaust, does it have new/higher flowing cats, does it reduce it down to one cat, does it replace and enlarge the downpipe?

Without making a larger/higher flowing downpipe, I wouldn't expect too much of a gain...you have to open up the bottle neck. SpiceyMSP already had a prototype 3" exhaust put on her car and it had no gains, because it stuck with the stock downpipe and cats....you might want to mention that to Hector and maybe he can do something for you there too:D

How's that gonna work? The MSP doesn't have a header. Did you mean downpipe?

he is going to make an new exhaust manifold i think. most of the time when he says something i just nodd my head like i know what hes talking about. but they are going to do a 2 1/2 exhaust on the car, the first with just a straight pie all the way to the back and the second one is with one high flow cat

Turbosharged cars do not have exhaust mainfolds. They have turbo manifolds, which are very costly to design correctly. You really should find out what your mechanic is doing to your car... I guess I'm just anal though...

Tell him if he's planning on any items to enter the lucrative P5 market (hint,hint) to give me a call.:p

I dont have a prob with that.
