how can your copy something that was never for sale?

if you are really worried about that just get the tube dia right, and change one bend..

I'm not related to bidder 3. I placed 1 bid only and won it for the benefit of this community.

I'm... not on land right now and wonder how I outsniped some of those broadband guys. As it turns out, it came down to picking a good number. With my slow connection (this is slower than dial-up), I only had time to place 1 bid. Whoever did 650 as their final bid is a noob.

I'm on assignment right now and I can't tell you when I'll be back. But soon after I'm back I'll be flying out of California, hopefully to Florida. I'll then be busy for a while. In the meantime, if this is going to work, I'll need some advice on how to get started, how much to expect to pay for custom fabrication work, and what the chances of success are.

Photos once I return.

Still, sounds like you'll have your hands on the exhaust, sound clips, pics, much sooner than me.

From what you've written, you guys have plans to duplicate, fabricate, and sell. If so there's no need for me to do anything, other than to install and enjoy the exhaust and pass along any info.

If mine breaks later on there's no harm in making another copy for myself I suppose.

Congrats to the winning bidder.

That would be an understatement.

I would be interested in a copy of this exhaust if and when it becomes available. If you guys are serious about having replicas built, then please do so, and post a thread to see how many of us want one. Judging from the posts in this thread, this may be a hot item. (pun intended)

lepichichi,
Step One) Ask yourself, what is the title of the thread you are posting in?
If you will be going off topic see step 2
Step Two) Do a search
Search not returning results?
Step Three) Post a new thread

You're new and you LuV your Rotary - that's great. Realize that most questions have been answered unless the product came out 5 minutes ago.

SIGH,
I'm not 1 to say use search! but wtf...

GG ninja ,
Honestly why would you ask for info about something, that has nothing to do with, what everyone is talking about? Most people here want the sound this exhaust makes, and its pretty clear they like "IT", so why would you ask them what they think about something else besides what they want?












Anyways G/L on the exhaust.

Lol , well to answer your question i think Agency power sounds nice. If you're one to look for weight savings im not too sure about the weight. But i think 700 something for full titanium is a good price.

The Agency Power system is not a full titanium system, but has got titanium tips only. OK back on topic then.

Just food for thought. RE amemiya is most likely the top rotary tuner in the world. and most likely knows a good bit more than 90% of other companies
free flow doesn't mean more power

here is his catback
