Gauging interest: Corksport Power Series Exhaust system

[pdhaudio83]

>>Second GB. Updated Apr 24<<

People in the second GB, I am preparing to have this get setup as the exhausts can't be too far away now! :)

PRODUCT DETAILS:
This system is custom made for MSP/MP3/Sedan (NOT P5) and uses all stock hangars, etc! Here is what Corksport says: The 'Power Series' Exhaust System is constructed of 61mm (2.4") mandrel bent T304 polished stainless steel. This is more than a cat-back system, due to the cat location it is longer than most systems (3 pieces as seen in picture). It does eliminate the second cat on the 2001- cars, and eliminates both cats on the Mazdaspeed versions. The Power Series system also weighs 20lbs less than the stock system. The 4" tip looks aggressive, yet not over the top. Removing OEM catalysts is not legal and thus this system is sold for race use. Built in resonator creating a quality, not buzzy sound.

PAYMENT DETAILS:
Usually corksport simply mails all the products to one person and they take care of it, but with exhausts, and the fact i dont want to be stuck in the middle, corksport will take care of this. The special GB price will be a promotional code for their site for a time window to be specified with your GB. After this, its normal price again. Shipping will run $25-$40 depending on where you live. They ship via FedEx ground, and can only ship to the Credit Card billing address.

PRICE: $330 plus shipping (NORMAL PRICE IS $389.00!!)

NOTE: Installed on the MSP this exhaust will indeed throw a CEL, but they are developing and eliminator, otherwise there are several other elimiators available now for CEL removal.

bump!!

[Heathen23]

I'll bite. Although for the piping your getting it seems too good to be true. Plus corksport has a short history for selling things they don't have in inventory. If I was in this I would cautiously want to know it was in stock and would ship out at specified time. I would assume the GB price depending on numbers should be notably less (like free shipping or better).

free bump for this already INSANE deal. You dont get what you pay for in this case, ive had mine for a few months now and am still impressed.

[pdhaudio83]

thanks sonic!! how was the install?

[pdhaudio83]

For those who are interested in a discounted silencer (normally $23) edit the list with 'ADD silencer' behind your forum name-
IE
1. pdhaudio83 (ADD silencer)

[Albert]

Do the vids on their site have the silencer installed?

[ghetto waggon]

For clarification, it will remove the second cat only on the p5?

Is this good enough to pass emissions? I understand its not legal (on paper) to remove 2nd cat, but emissions can be passed with only the primary if you leave the car running...correct?

[micaguy]

I'm interested. I'm looking to buy an exhaust system VERY soon. I do have one question: Is the entire system fully polished like the picture? Also, I'm assuming that the 2.4" measurement is the inner diameter of the tubing (seems like common sense, but, I've seen different companies list different things (bang) ) I'd be up for $330. Keep us posted.

[pdhaudio83]

ok- ION style.. :)

Albert- no. the silencer is not installed in those pics. you'd be able to see something in the tip.

milmoejoe- correct. The first cat is in the manifold. It will only remove the bottom cat. It will not throw a CEL as there is no sensor in the second cat. I'm not sure beyond that of VA emissions.

micaguy- the entire system IS as pictured. Yes, polished. Yes the 2.4" is the inner diameter. Are you in for $389? (I have yet to get a GB price. but want to be open)

Thank you for the interest!
I will not assume you are in unless you edit your name into the list. Remember if you'd like a silencer IF available at discount write that behind your name. ALSO if you have a P5, write that too, as there is a wait for the P5 edition, and the P5 system is SHORTER.

[mazdamp3_18]

i would def be down for this gb...

BUT only if they can make the exhaust without the resonator...

so i would just want the rear muffler with the piping..

[pdhaudio83]

Mazdamp3_18- I'm not sure that is possible, but I will check that Ben says. Remind me to tell you what he says in a few days.

[Heathen23]

This will throw a CEL correct?

[mazdamp3_18]

you only throw a cel if you remove the 1st cat on our cars...

there is no o2 sensor on the 2nd cat...


This will throw a CEL correct?

[Heathen23]

Then in the MSP this will throw a CEL.

Just go down there, they'll even install it for you if you want. I got mine done and still impressed with the quality and fit.

Looks like I'm gonna have to change my Avatar back to the Canadian flag!LOL I'm in the "other" Vancouver (B.C.

Not to jack this thread, but, I think you should come to the Washington/B.C. meet next month. Check out the Pacific/Mountian forum for details.

(headbang)Yeah, i saw the thread, but i'm pretty busy during the days. I noticed you wanted it shipped to washington so i assumed you're from vancouver washington.
That's cool though, have you called and asked if they have the exhaust in stock? I remember that mine was the last one that was hanging in the showroom. Maybe they made some more.
Good luck.

Did the exhaust come with all the necessary hardware including gaskets? Just curious as to what I will need if this pans out.

Pat-

Sorry for all the questions but I was wondering if they will ship out as they are orderd during that 2-3 week period or all go out at the end of the GB. If they are just using a promotion code I would assume they will go out as they are ordered. Here's to hoping (friday)

[SonicRacer]

Although for the piping your getting it seems too good to be true.
Have you looked at the prices of the other exhaust systems they make? And the strut bar's price and how that compares to other companies? :)

You pay for a lot for the name and research time with other companies, they also have a big mark up.

[pdhaudio83]

I bet they'd ship after each order, I could show Ben the list and he'd see how many we have.

I'd be against waiting for EVERYone. thats stupid.

[pdhaudio83]

Sonic, there was a Q: does the exhaust include all the mounting stuff? gaskets, etc?

[DSMConvert]

just talked to ben yesterday at corksport and he says they're out of stock till the 11th? Next question being as that I'm gettin the exhaust regardless is the GB still going on???

[Heathen23]

Did you already order with corksport?

[TheJohnny]

The only problem I see with this exhaust is that you can't put a bigger downpipe on. But it looks so nice. I'm so close to jumping on this one, but I really wanted to get a 2.5" DP with no cats....hmmm what to do what to do.....????

I'm so close to jumping on this one, but I really wanted to get a 2.5" DP with no cats....hmmm what to do what to do.....????For the cost it's not even a comparison IMO. You don't get the brand name catback or can but you get the plumbing from the S-pipe back for about the price of the apex midpipe. Yes it would limit you to increasing the size of your midpipe but unless you are looking for more than 10-12psi most would agree the size is ample for the MSP.

[TheJohnny]

Heathen: This kit doesn't replace the acutal downpipe but If I'm not replacing the S pipe then what is replacing the DP going to do other then get rid of my CATS right. I mean fooo realll yooooo..... Also, I am going to be boosting over 12 psi, somewhere near 15psi when I'm done. I'm going to be getting the JE pistons and peuter rods this summer. So anything I buy now needs to be able to work with these laters....know what I meanzzzz...... So let me know what you think...

I follow. This may not be the package for you. However we are having a clash of vocabulary because to me calling the test pipe/ mid pipe a downpipe is kinda weird. A downpipe in most cars is the piece that actually goes DOWN. In our cars for some reason people got the name downpipe confused with the testpipe/midpipe that houses the cats. I call apex's downpipe a midpipe because that's what it is (wink)

This set up on the MSP removes both Cats and basically connects where Apex's "downpipe" would attach. If you look at both the corksport page and the apex site you can see what I mean. The difference being this removes your stock catback and makes the piping 2.4 all the way back. That's the only benifit over getting this as opposed to the Apex piece.

Like I said, depending upon who you asked 3" is unnecessary in our application but if you plan to go to a rather high-boost set up you may want to weigh your options. To me the bang for the buck of the corksport is impressive considering I feel the Apex offering is even a good one for just the mid around $300+ship. To me this combines cost effectiveness with convinience. A one stop shop that removes both cats, free flowing out the back end, but doesn't sound like a harley.

Sorry for the long post!

[pdhaudio83]

DSM- that is correct. They will be done with a bunch of exhausts on the 11th, which will be 'plenty' for the GB. PLEASE get in the GB. we have a GREAT price!

once i get ten people, people can start paying, that way they ship out on the 11th! :)

[Albert]

We only need 4 more people to get an even sweeter deal. C'mon, people!

[pdhaudio83]

actually if DSM gets in, we only need like 3 more.

[AutoBox]

anyone have a sound clip...i really want something quiet

[toucci]

I am very interested in this product when it comes out for the p5 if its at this price.

[AutoBox]

i think it fits the p5 also....

[pdhaudio83]

This exhaust will NOT fit the P5 HOWEVER, one is coming out for it soon, but at the 389 price.

Autobox- you can add a silencer for just $15. Its not all that loud.

[RyanJayG]

I cant believe more people aren't jumping on this... I SURELY would if I had extra money.... damn... get in on it people!

[pdhaudio83]

yeah man no kidding. to think greddy wants like $550 for their EVO exhaust for P5, now check this deal out. 389 NORMALLY, now even CHEAPER!!

[unwound]

pat or anyone else: i thought the exhaust was supposed to have a flex section in the piping somewhere. won't the lack of the flex section cause a problem (no compensation for engine flex in the exhaust pipe)?
forgive me for my ignorance when it comes to exhaust systems.

hopefully i can get on this before it is over. damn income tax check.
you said 2-3 weeks, but do you have a specific end date in mind?

lastly, will they do anything else for a 15 person GB cause it looks as thought the GB will hit 10 real soon.

[DZnutz]

I'm down... just wanna make sure that we'll be getting the newest version of this exhaust which accounts for the previous rear bumper clearance issue

[pdhaudio83]

they are being fabricated as we speak, to be completed by the 11th of March.

unwound, there are several members that have the same setup already installed, running fine. I don't see any problems. Also, for 15, I'm not sure. To be honest, I never expected 15 to be in on this. 15 people ready and willing to pay for an exhaust is incredible, but so is this price. I'll check on that.

Also, the GB hopefully will be done soon. I'd like to get mine soon :) you'd be able to pay in a two or three week time period starting soon. After the three week time period, no more GB pricing for a long while as they get caught back up.

People, I'd jump on this, do you know how big of a deal this is? normally, HKS wants 330 JUST for a rear section or something. Not only do you get that, but mid pipes too!! polished, the works.

Get in before this is done. I will get the GB moving ASAP.

[HammondMSP]

Everybody in the GB...


What are yall gonna do about the CEL???

[pdhaudio83]

I wont get a CEL :D

as i said earlier, there are several MIL eliminators available! :)

[unwound]

as soon as my tax check gets here (with in the next couple weeks) i am definietly in this.

pat, thanks for helping to clear the flexing issue up. corksport knows what they are doing and other members are running them already, that is good enough for me.

[pdhaudio83]

absolutely no problem :)
if you'd like to talk to someone that has it installed, PM sonicraze! :)

as soon as my tax check gets here (with in the next couple weeks) i am definietly in this.

pat, thanks for helping to clear the flexing issue up. corksport knows what they are doing and other members are running them already, that is good enough for me.Actually, this exhaust doesn't need a flex because of where it connects. Look at your stocker, it doesn't have a flex because it's connected to a round shape gasket kind of like =)= that so it rotates or flexes or plays in that area, it is also connected with the stock sping bolts allowing to move around in that area. Kind of hard to explain without a picture.
It's the downpipes like apexi where they bolt up to the s-bend flange and have to play in them, that's why they need flexes. Look in the pic where the spring bolts are. It's actually better then having a flex, IMO.

Come on people, it's good stuff..

[pdhaudio83]

thanks for the good comments. people apparently haven heard much about corksport!?

[Glowmunkey]

I wont get a CEL :D

as i said earlier, there are several MIL eliminators available! :)One small point... the Corksport exhaust does not come with an O2 sensor bung. The MIL eliminators that are available require the O2 to remain intact and in the exhaust stream. It MIGHT work with the O2 sensor just hanging there, but I personally do not know.

I am currently working on a fix for this, because I do not wish to drill a hole and weld a bung onto my lovely exhaust.

That said, I do like my Corksport exhaust very much.

I'm glad you posted here.

Others with this exhaust have not mentioned this issue. Even ViksMSP (who I pmed and was very helpful to me) said the MIL fix was easy as can be with this exhaust. How did others avoid the problem when not having a new bung for the o2?

You don't need one in the exhaust...

Let me get some things cleared up here first....

Midpipe (sometimes called a test pipe, only God knows why): replaces main cat. Generally under the shifter area on FWD cars.

Downpipe: bolts between turbocharger and main cat (or to midpipe in the case you have removed the main cat.). Sometimes removes the precat (like on RX-7's. Both FC and FD) The stock downpipe on the MSP is two pieces. The 'S' pipe and the one that bolts to that to the cat section. Both those pipes together are the downpipe. It is not an 'S Pipe' and a 'downpipe'.... Just a downpipe.

The pipe that bolts to the 'S' pipe is the SAME piece used on the non turbo cars. There is an O2 bung built into that from the factory. That is where the 02 sensor mounts. They just have a plug in it on the MSP models. You just remove the plug and put the 02 sensor there. So no, I repleat, no the 02 sensor is NOT removed. It's just put in the location where the NA models have it. :)

I was actually the guy who found out this system fits the MSP. This system was orginally designed for the non turbo models. I put it on my MSP with NO issues.

As for not being able to replace the downpipe portion of the exhaust..... Cork Sport will be coming out with their OWN downpipe. It will bolt between the turbocharger and the exhaust system. Yes, the downpipe will have an 02 bung built in to it also.

I hope I cleared some things up here... If you have any other questions please PM me, since this thread is for the BB and all. :) (I hope I made sense in my post... it's early Saturday morning and I'm sitting in class :-X)

Derrick figured that out and showed "Ben" the easy fix to get some more clearance. You just bend the hangers a bit. That may sound kinda hokey, but it works and it's real easy to do.

Hopefully this will answer some questions.

This first pic is the location of the O2 sensor on a stock MSP. It is located between the cats.

http://www.msprotege.com/members/Albert/exhaust/ex3.jpg

The next 2 pics are of the bolt that represents where the O2 sensor is found on a non-MSP Protege sedan.

http://www.msprotege.com/members/Albert/exhaust/ex1.jpg

http://www.msprotege.com/members/Albert/exhaust/ex2.jpg

What needs to be done is to relocate the O2 sensor from between the cats to where it would be on a normal sedan. As you can see, I'm going to have fun with that, because mine's rusted to Hell!

Hope this helps.

[unwound]

albert,

get some "PB Blaster" from any auto parts store.

spray onto the bolt and near the threads area. let it sit for about 15 minutes and then tap with a hammer. respray the PB Blaster on again and let it sit for another 15 min. tap again and try to remove it.

so all theyre doing now is bending the regular hangers???

Does anybody know why exactly does the 2nd O2 sensor throw a CEL? Is it just sensing the cats are gone or is it actually managing the engine according to the CEL & giving it different air fuel ratios (fcuk up our car)???(braindead

WOW! keep it up, this is such a SUPER DEAL!!

[unwound]

it is managing the engine. if the o2 sensor detects an out of spec air/fuel mixture it causes the cel to illuminate.

with it on, it is safe to expect poor gas milage and over time it could wear out the spark plugs sooner.

oh yeah, i puts an annoying yellow light on the guage cluster(humor, not to be taken seriously)

[unwound]

pat, any word from ben about a 15 person gb deal?

[BoOsTiN]

Derrick figured that out and showed "Ben" the easy fix to get some more clearance. You just bend the hangers a bit. That may sound kinda hokey, but it works and it's real easy to do.

:)

Hey " Ben"....
You never replied to my last email.
Please do , thanks

[HammondMSP]

Thanks for the info!!!... Even with that in mind u still plan to get it???

[pdhaudio83]

Ben hasn't posted in this thread... ?

unwound, its saturday night, I doubt he'd respond to his business email before monday :)
Trust me, I will check, but these exhausts are cheap enough already.

[pdhaudio83]

I need to know this:

who is on the list that ISNT 100% sure they are getting this exhaust.

i know i want the exhaust no matter what.

anyone else?

BTW, this will be compatible with corksports DP they ALSO have coming out soon!!

[mazdamp3_18]

is there any word on if they will make it without the resonator..

b.c if they will not imgetting a different exhaust...

[pdhaudio83]

Chris, here is what he said in his email response.

Subject: Re: Fwd: CORK SPORT 'Power Series' Exhaust System
From: Cork Sport

To: Patrick
Priority: Normal

Hello,

I don't really have the way to not have the resonator.... It comes built in
with it.

There a reason why he wouldn't want it? This is a *street* designed exhaust
system, that's the reason we put it in.

Ben

[StuttersC]

WOW. yay!! (yippy)

anyone else?

BTW, this will be compatible with corksports DP they ALSO have coming out soon!!
Sorry to ask again, but this sounds like a sweet deal that will be cheaper than what I was originally thinking.

So, it is a 2.4" ID pipe that goes from the "down pipe" on the MP3 all the way back. Essentially removing the second cat and the stock resonator?

Now, they are also going to have a down pipe? Will the down pipe have a cat in it?

Will the Corksport down pipe bolt up the Flyin' Protege turbo kit?

Will the Wagner motorsport down pipe set up for the NA MP3/Protege 5 bolt up to this exhaust?

Sorry to be a pest, and thanks for any info you can give.

[loudpdl]

I really want this exhaust, but with a high-flow cat. Corksport's web site makes no mention of this option, but maybe they would consider it if there was enough interest.

[pdhaudio83]

stuttersc- yes it is a 2.4 mid pipe... that goes from mp3 "DP" all the way back... correct. The DP that they have coming soon is for turbo applications, as far as i know... the DP will NOT have a cat (on the MSP both cats are after the DP in the MP, on the MP3 one cat is built into the mani, and the other in the MP) the corksport DP *SHOULD* bolt to the FM kit, i can't see why not, unless FM did something STUPID... ? I think any correctly sized DP would fit up, but I don't know all that much about DPs/turbo applications/etc.
You aren't being a pest at all, i understand, you cant take chances with, well such a big GB, its super cheap, so it wouldnt be a big mistake ;)

loudpdl- unfortunately, i dont think there would be enough interest... if you really wanted a cat, you *could* just bring the exhaust into a shop and have them weld one in. but then you will see a drop in HP. anything that slows down the flow of exhaust will create additional backpressure which in this case, will limit HP increase. :)
let me know if you want in :)

REMEMBER, who wants the silencer added for just $15? (normally $23)

[INGREXCO]

how soon would these ship out?

[pdhaudio83]

after the 11th of march they'd be ready :)

[INGREXCO]

not 100% sure but considering

[pdhaudio83]

decide quickly :) i will give Ben @ Corksport the gb numbers tomorrow (monday) and the gb will close soon after.

Ok cool. It looks nice. I would probably have to get a high flow cat welded in to pass e-testing up here in Colorado.

I'll let you know for sure by the morning.

heathen makes a good point... :) this exhaust doesnt seem to take long at all to install

sushi- shipping is actual cost. :)

sushi- a complete exhaust system is huge and weighs a lot. shipping to me here in michigan is $30ish. You are international, it may go up. If thats cheap to you, good.

With this many people they should be able to do better than $330 plus shipping. Since we have 20 people in we shuold ask if they will do $330 shipped. I know its a lot to ask bit that is 6600 in sales in just a few days.

[StuttersC]

Why not just swap the stock back in come test time?
Yeah, I might...I just like putting it in and forgetting about it.

Dang it...Still thinking.

How is paymeny being taken care of?

[pdhaudio83]

you will pay corksport DIRECTLY. not me :)

AHH!


F-it...Put me down too. I can always get a 2.5" high flow cat welded in easily enoug if necessary.

For $330 and getting basically what I was going to do anyway is too good of a deal. I'd be spending more than that with the Wagner down pipe + Wagner mid-pipe + cat back. I can get a high flow cat and weld it in and still come in under that cost.

Plus I need something to hang from the Kartboy exhaust hangers!

Hey Ben, can you check the shipping cost for me??? I know its throwing a curve ball for you to do it but it would be real appreciated... I hate to find out that there were hidden charges like brokarge or duties that I have to pay... kinda drives up the cost here for me you know!!!

[unwound]

pat, $300 is about 23% off the $389 list price. maybe they will do free shipping on them instead. just ideas.

i am like you, no matter what it is already a sweet deal.

[pdhaudio83]

unwound-yeah, ill see :D
sushi- I'm Pat... Ben is the guy at corksport that is giving me the deal.

you can check on shipping cost by going to
http://www.corksport.com/main.php3?primNavIndex=0&mainURL=%2Fstore%2Findex.php3%3Fcat%3D220745
then scroll down to the power series exhaust, place it in cart, enter shipping info, then they will tell you. after u enter all that in, just X out the window, no order has been placed :)

[pdhaudio83]

sushi-OK, i made up an address in vancouver, shipping will be around $39ish.

[Sushi-Monster]

sushi-OK, i made up an address in vancouver, shipping will be around $39ish.

[Sushi-Monster]

sushi- so you're cool on that shipping price then?
F*cK Y3@h! Who is shipping this product??? I guess I have to be home at a certain day to recieve this product eh? I just hope there isn't any god damn hidden fees!!!

[pdhaudio83]

that would be UPS actually :)

[Sushi-Monster]

urk... your joking right???? Oh man I gotta check out their policies and hope there isn't any stupid brokarge.....

[pdhaudio83]

well you can also have them FEDEX or USPS it. USPS was like 39.50 i think

[ARunto]

so we gonna be able to order this by this week?

[micaguy]

Hey Sushi-monster,
There are no hidden fees, just exchange (x1.34),PST & GST (14.5%) and the brokerage cost ($15 approx). Make sure you budjet for these as well.

[Sushi-Monster]

Exchange, I don't have to worry about... brokerage... damn... $15... that CAD or USD???

But here is the real question... Why do I have to pay PST & GST???

[pdhaudio83]

Arunto- i plan on it, unless CORKSPORT has an issue. I want mine ASAP i bet others do too.

[pdhaudio83]

although they'd ship out no earlier than the 11th because they get more in stock on the 11th. currently they have none.

[t3ase]

I need a few weeks (3) to get the money anyway.

[pdhaudio83]

there will be a window, just make sure you get the money soon. i will see if i can get him to have the promo code good for 3 weeks.

[t3ase]

'preciate it.

[GAspeedProtege]

So whats the last day to get in on the GB and when is payment due?

[StuttersC]

StuttersC, I'll be looking for a high flow cat too. Let me know if you find one for a good price.

Word...I'll let you know what I find.

[pdhaudio83]

GAprotege- last day is coming up quick. literally a few days. in order to get the GB pricing, you will need to pay in 2-3 weeks.

[GAspeedProtege]

Ok, I'm thinking about it, but it's hard for me to justify spending 300+ on an exhaust that will give me .25" over what I have now. I already have a midpipe with no cats so I don't see a gain there either. Does anyone have dyno numbers of a stock car with a 2.5" midpipe? I want to know if most of the gains from the exhaust are from the larger midpipe and lack of cats.

Ok, I'm thinking about it, but it's hard for me to justify spending 300+ on an exhaust that will give me .25" over what I have now. I already have a midpipe with no cats so I don't see a gain there either. Does anyone have dyno numbers of a stock car with a 2.5" midpipe? I want to know if most of the gains from the exhaust are from the larger midpipe and lack of cats.
GAspeed- You are correct, the main power benefit for this piece on your car is the cat deletion. As for the can the stock can flows straight through already so you aren't going to see a big gain as a result there. I think from the numbers I've seen your midpipe and this piece would produce similiar numbers with a slight edge to the corky. I think the only difference is this is one flowing piece at the same diameter so the benifit would be marginal. I'm not trying to talk you out of this part, because we would like to have ya join the GB, but I think if your focus is it's benifit over your current midpipe the difference should marginal. I just like ease and convinience of having the combination of catback/midpipe for the price of Apex's midpipe. Also the ease of adding the S-pipe when it becomes available through corksport is a nice feature to make it a complete turbo back.

[pdhaudio83]

I talked to Ben, with this many, there may be a wait. We *MAY* split up the GB. You'd still get the SAME price, it'd just be a longer wait. So those who don't have the money ready can take a few weeks to get it :)

[ARunto]

i'm in for ASAP list.

[blindfury37]

I'm ready to pay now but don't mind waiting since I'm 23rd in line.

[DZnutz]

i dont mind waitin either... it all depends on when tease is gettin his

[DZnutz]

I'm thinking about it, this deal seems to be too good to pass on. I will be looking to have a hi flow Cat welded on i guess, to those who aren't running a cat with this exhaust, are you running the mil eliminator ? I thought there was no O2 bung for it. How are you guys beating the CEL ?
Sorry, confused.
http://www.corksport.com/content/00/01/06/61/73/uploaded.files/exhaust2.jpg

this is where u relocate the O2 sensor to

[TheJohnny]

Like most, i'm ready to pay, but I am the 24th one on the list, and I can understand first come first serve, so I can wait if I have to, but I really don't want to, but you all understand, it's about respect to those who jumped on this first.

[pdhaudio83]

thejohnny- we will see how things go, i know a few people higher in the list want to wait a few weeks to get the money in hand first. we shall see. also depends on the number of exhausts they get in on the 11th. I'll let you know when i do :)

[micaguy]

I talked to Ben, with this many, there may be a wait. We *MAY* split up the GB. You'd still get the SAME price, it'd just be a longer wait. So those who don't have the money ready can take a few weeks to get it :)

I NEED to pick mine up on the 12th as I'll be in Portland that day.

[pdhaudio83]

micaguy, you are in the first 15 anyway. no problems.

[TheJohnny]

so is this thing broken into groups of 15....if so, how long for the 2nd 15 people...which I'm part of? I talked to Corksport and Ben, i believe told me that I'll get the GB price if I'm not on this one, so I'm not worried about the price I'm just worried about when? I need this for protegefest dammit.

[pdhaudio83]

johnny, it will all depend on who wants to wait. the first 15 will be PMed, and if they want to wait, we'll keep going. basically the first 15 in order that can pay now will be in.

[TheJohnny]

That sucks mucho a**. Can you find out how much longer for the rest of us, and what's the deadline for the 1st 15 to pay. I mean the next 8 people would have to wait in order for it to get to me. Please inform me when you have chance of when teh next batch is going to be ready to ship. I'm sure by the time it gets to me you'll have your 15.

[pdhaudio83]

i am still working out the details, he doesnt get the exhausts even in stock till the 11th. the deadline for the first gb is 2ish weeks

[TheJohnny]

PDHAUDIO83: Please let me know via e-mail jjrsae@yahoo.com when you find out how much longer for the 2nd group ok. thanks again.

[pdhaudio83]

well he said a month or two to me.

[pdhaudio83]

but then again, who knows. if enough people back out, you still may get in the first.

[TheJohnny]

I hope so, because I'm not going to wait a few months to get an exhaust. I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

[unwound]

thejohnny,

if i do not have the money ready by this sat 3/13 you can have my spot on the first gb.

this is only contengent if i don't get the money by sat 3/13 and if i can get the group buy deal when it happens again or when i am ready to buy it no matter what.

to clarify, i am not backing out of this deal, i just do not want to hold someone else from getting it asap if i know i cant get the money in a reasonable amount of time. i also want to make sure i can get the gb price no matter what!

[pdhaudio83]

the johnny, thats fine, no one is making you wait to get this exhaust. if you dont want to wait, by all means go find another one. :)

FYI- we still dont have CONCRETE numbers on how many are getting in stock etc

[ARunto]

someone wanna trade spots with me?

[pdhaudio83]

The way it stands now:
If your name is in the top 15, please tell me if you can pay by March 16.

CLOSED GB.

[StuttersC]

Ok, this is cool.


I don't mind waiting, as long as I get a good price. But of course, I would prefer to get this sooner than later. Thanks for the info!

Let me know if things change.(drinks)

[ARunto]

i want in...sigh i'm only 3 spots away. :(

[pdhaudio83]

arunto, i bet a few people will flake out, making it very close.

[Slickfabo]

Ha im #16!

[TheJohnny]

pdhaudio83: same team same team. If it's ok with you and unwound, can we switch spots on the group buy, tentatively of course, all depending on if unwound has the money or not by this weekend? I would really appreciate it. I know this is a good thing and I would probably end up waiting to get it at this price, I would be dumb not to.

unwound: thanks so much for letting me fill in your spot on this buy man. I can't tell you how cool that is man. I hope you get your money becuase I'm sure your as excited to get this as I am. I don't think you'll have a problem getting the group buy as I got an e-mail from Corksport today saying that if I have to wait then I would still be given the group buy price so I'm sure you will also.

[pdhaudio83]

umm, you were going to switch on the condition he doesnt have the money by this sat, right

[TheJohnny]

yeah......he said if he doesn't have the money by saturday and that Corksport honors the group buy price when he's ready, which will probably be the 2nd batch, then he will trade me spots on the group buy. Again, I think it comes down to when unwound will have the money and if Corksport will honor the price of the GB at that time. I know that they are going to have a group buy code that we will use and that it will only be active for so long, so if it's a decent enough time period and unwound agrees with the time period to get in on the group buy then I'm sure we'll be switching, contingent upon all the other stuff above. .... Thanks again

[pdhaudio83]

hrm...

[loudpdl]

I'm anxious to get in on this too. I thought we were going by who signed up first...

[pdhaudio83]

i need everyone to just hold for a few days. you may be making a big deal out of nothing. We first have to see how many exhausts he gets in stock before we start doing stuff.

[Heathen23]

Not that anyone asked my opinion but I would think it's somewhat unfair for people to swap. Just go in order, for example if unwound doesn't have the cash at the time of the initial GB then he would go to the bottom of the list allowing the next available person to order. That just seems fair to everyone who signed up (dunno)

[pdhaudio83]

yeah... thats true. maybe we should just UP everyone on the list and put the people that cant pay at the bottom.

[DSMConvert]

I agree with heathen no switching next guy on the list gets the spot...so when do I need to send the money and to who...dont mean to be anxious but if they come in the 11th why do we have to wait the 16th to pay...heres the deal I'm calling ben on the 12th to see exactly what came in...if he has them in stock I'll just buy at the regular price...this waiting stuff is for the birds....sorry to be a dick but saving 50 bux isnt going to be worth the hassle if I have to wait 3 weeks later to get my exhaust..this does not mean I'm dropping off the list, it just means I"m going to attempt to get my exhaust asap...

[pdhaudio83]

DSM- you will pay corksport directly, most likely via their website. i will get a promo code and PM it to the first people.
DSM- you are in the first ten. you will be in the first GB.

listen guys, just hold on ok, he doesnt even get the exhausts in till the 11th, and after he fills PREVIOUS orders, they are mine :D

just wait up, when i find out more i will let you know!

keep your pants on :D

werd

[Heathen23]

keep your pants on :D
(moon)

[lamp3]

so did you ever nail down a price shipped?

[pdhaudio83]

shipping depends on location. usually 25-40

[lamp3]

was just wondering exactly how good the price will be. Looks like we have lots of people

[pdhaudio83]

price is good already ;)

[lamp3]

so its 330 plus shippin?

[pdhaudio83]

...yes

[evilmonkeyMSP]

i have cash in hand but im #22

[ARunto]

so are there gonna be plenty to go around?

[pdhaudio83]

im not sure yet. we wont know until he gets them in...

werd.

[INGREXCO]

this is my main question, will the stock midpipe (the one with 2 cats) be able to bolt into this kit without problem (E CHECK)

[pdhaudio83]

it could, depends. the only thing you'd use then is the new muffler, but why would you do that?

[lamp3]

smog passage?

[INGREXCO]

bassically when i go in for insepction i have to bolt ot back to legal

[DZnutz]

well im good to go

[pdhaudio83]

ohh ok

well, you could just change everything back. i know the muffler shold bolt to stock. i dont think the other two will since the MSP has one piece from DP to muffler and this kit has two.

[pdhaudio83]

good DZ. ill keep you all posted :)

[unwound]

thejohnny, sorry man my check came in the mail so i won't be backing out or waiting.

pat- i am down whenever they need the loot.

let me know.
andrew

[INGREXCO]

so the corksport axel back section will bolt up to stock?

[lamp3]

ahh closed??!!! come on man!!

[lamp3]

help a brotha out

[lamp3]

i've been asking all these questions cause i wanted in.

[lamp3]

grrr...damnit........I'm gonna keep posting till you put me on the list ;)

unwound: Congrats man, and thanks for the offer, however I wouldn't of taken it. Everyone made a great point. Those before me deserve it, and I knew that all along. Sorry to anyone who thought I was being a dick. Now let's get 25 of these in to cover all our wants.

[Sushi-Monster]

I NEED to pick mine up on the 12th as I'll be in Portland that day.
Yo bud!, are you able to pick up the exhaust for me as well??? I"LL PAY YOU SHIPPING INSTEAD.... THAT SHOULD MAKE IT WORTHWHILE FOR YOU!!!

[pdhaudio83]

sushi-monster, you are #17. we first have to see if there are enough exhausts coming in on the 11th for you to get one, as we are going IN ORDER.

I/We will find out Thursday how many. Shit, maybe we all can get one.

but just hold on! :)

[I_Vtec]

I know this is closed but if having 25 would lower the price anymore you can put me on the list. If it's possible.

[Swerny]

I know this is closed but if having 25 would lower the price anymore you can put me on the list. If it's possible.
Likewise, i guess ispent too much time deliberating and pm'ing pople about this yesterday. (hand)

I could have sworn i read that this was open until the 11th. (smoke)

[DSMConvert]

cool pd that sounds good to me...I'll be keeping an eye out for a pm then I guess...

-John

[StuttersC]

but just hold on! :)

NOOOOO!!!! I can't wait two days!


J/K:p

[nictlg7]

Please let us know if they offer another GB. I may be interested depending on the sound comparison. Greddy had my car today to prototype the new exhaust setups on it. So I should be getting one in about a month. I am still interested to compare it to the CorkSport, however. I want to make sure I have a nice clean sound, and don't get in trouble with the cops. My other car is so loud, the cops always pull it over. Not to mention the CS is much cheaper, and I need the money. Thanks!

[KyRaceFan]

ARGH! I missed this thread by a few days.
I would definately be in on this if it were open.
Any chance of increasing the GB anymore...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?!



Edit: Help me out, im very confused

Ive read that the corksport "catback" on the MSP eliminates both cats, but the picture of it on their website shows the system starts after the precat.
Whats with that?
Also, im in. damnit, please. :D

[Sushi-Monster]

sushi-monster, you are #17. we first have to see if there are enough exhausts coming in on the 11th for you to get one, as we are going IN ORDER.

I/We will find out Thursday how many. Shit, maybe we all can get one.

but just hold on! :)
I hear ya bro, but its the fact that he can go down there for me which would be really cool. But since I'm 17 then I'll just leave it at that. I was hoping to save on the shipping factor because the fact that brokerage comes out of nowhere... sure its only another 15bucks but then I may face duty charges and all that other crap.

[BadBandar]

if its up still. im in. please let me know.

[DZnutz]

^^^

[TheJohnny]

Sorry, but I'm off the Group Buy so someone can fill in my position if there is room, I was the last one. Sorry about all the questions but I'm doing something different now. Thanks again to pdhaudio83 for setting this up.

[KyRaceFan]

Ill Take The Johnnys Spot If Someone Else Doesnt Have It!!!!

[Swerny]

I believe I had first dibs on TheJohnny's Spot.....if that's cool with Pdhaudio ?
No silencer for me. Money is ready whenever Corksport needs it. (thumb)

[Heathen23]

Sorry, but I'm off the Group Buy so someone can fill in my position if there is room, I was the last one. Sorry about all the questions but I'm doing something different now. Thanks again to pdhaudio83 for setting this up.What are you doing instead Johnny?

[TheJohnny]

I'm going to go back stock for now. I already have a muffler on the car but I hate the damn thing, it's so loud. I can't put a silencer in it either. IT's an aeroturbine, crap ass muffler, never buy it or recommend it, it's a resonating son-of-a-bitch. I really wanted to jump on this but other things have come up. After our drive to Death-Valley I now have a moon crater front end, pits and dimples all over, so I'm going to have the front bumper re-painted instead. Oh yeah, I need a new windshield as well, thanks god I have glass buy-back from my insurance, means I only pay $100.00 for a new windshield .

Anyway, back on topic.

[pdhaudio83]
