"Oh yeah... and Mad Props to Denver for the pics"

Sorry if that sounded labored, cause it was.

Glad to see the 7G guys are getting the same superior product and service from RPW and Vision as we 8G guys did. Not that I'm surprised, but you won't be disappointed.

anyone wanna answer my Q's?

**2True** · 09-07-2002, 10:10 PM

Uhm.... no one here has one yet except Kevin. Guess he'd be the only person to answer your Q's. PM him.

Dyno tests have not been done yet, RPW claims 22+ HP if you bothered to read this post prior to asking questions.

No one can answer your question because to date there has been no dyno testing of these systems as there are currently only one set of 7G headers fitted to a car and they were not dyno tested.

Dyno testing is very easy to lie with and is not something I personally put a lot of stock into.

At the end of the day feedback from other people who have fitted them is the best system.

Ask the other 8G people who have fitted them to the car what they think.

Dave -

Is RPW making the flex pipe portion, or is Vision Imports? I ask because Kevin mentions that he will be cutting the flex pipe for vision imports, but I figured that the flex pipes you would be sending with the headers wouldn't need cutting because they were going to made based on the specifications got from the stock setup on Kevin's car.

Is Mitch at APParts going to get these from you? I haven't spoken with him in a while so I'm not sure if you guys still do business, but it would be easier to go to him in Phoenix to get the parts for me...and I'd save money on shipping...

Is the "Gunmetal" paint going to crack and peel off with the heat over time?

What do you mean an "undrilled' O2 mount on the flex pipe - we'll have to get it drilled by a muffler shop to actually get the o2 sensor to fit?

Are the flex pipes you'll be shipping wider than our stock pipes? Do we need a wider catalytic convertor to get the most out of the setup?

Thanks again so much for your help - it's nice to have the support!

now.. we All know that the downpipes on CA, and Fed cars Are different, right?

so dave, and vision.. you're going To need to make 2 sets of flex-pipes

**Mitsiman** · 09-18-2002, 09:09 PM

Vision Imports made the first set of flex pipes on a car and sent the sample back to us so we can copy off that and make them to suit.

The headers will be the same to suit both models as remember we are replacing the dump pipe with our own longer design so that it bolts up to the main cat converter. To my knowledge both models have the main cat in the same position which will make this system fir both model cars.

Yes there will be undrilled O2 sensors in key positions to suit all model cars. Yes it takes 2 minutes to drill the hole to fit an o2 sensor.

Yes all of our dealers will be selling these components.

Yes the paint will fade and flake off. Short of getting them ceramic coated there is nothing that can be done about that.

The fle xpipes will be a 2 1/2" flex pipe dieamer and where we supply a matching Cat Converter it will also be a 2 1/2" system. This wil lbe more beneficial but not absoloutly necessary straight away.

Thanks for the answers Mitisman. Just let us know when the initial production is complete and ready to ship so I can get together with Mitch and get mine...

**paulbunyan** · 09-20-2002, 07:15 AM

All,
I will be ordering a set as well. Now I guess I will have to get on the ball and fix this damned warm start (?flooding?) problem Im having. Cant be bolting on stuff with the car not acting right.

OK, so does anyone know the straight scoop with these headers?

Are the flex pipes finished?, are they shipped?, how soon can I kick some more Honduh bootie?

Has anyone talked to Vision Imports about what they know about them?
