Side Pipes - replacement options

Eric S.

I believe Performance Engineering was installing Howes muffler, but I may be wrong. PE is also run by an Eric, not to be confused with you, but it may already have. If we meet again, I'll have to fill you in on PE's reputation. Then again, maybe I'd rather keep my mouth shut.

Carmine, if you could pipe in on this?

Appologies for the simalarities Ronnichols mentioned.

Were talking about Performance Engineering in Ross Ohio, also run by an Eric. www.perfeng.cc
I don,t know who he buys the chambered mufflers from. He builds you complete side pipes or you send him your side pipes and he replaces only the muffler and powder coats if needed.
PS still waiting for call back from him on my defective side pipes.

Definitely NOT mine. Thanks for clearing that up.

BTW, LoneStar Classics is now offering mine as an exhaust upgrade - they love 'em so far. All orders so far have been 3" x 24" long bodies.

Check out www.performancekote.com they did my headers J-pipes and Side Pipes were cheaper, have a 3 year warranty, and I had my stuff back in less than a week . I also met the owner and he is building a sweet factory five and has coated absolutely everything . Even parts like his roll bar , coil over springs , and alternator .

hi,

Another approach to having high preformance (foot down) and quiet (foot off, coasting pass local constabulary) is to have vacuum operated valve in the exhaust -check these links out http://autospeed.com/A_0883/cms/article.html and http://autospeed.com/cms/A_1744/arti...popularArticle

Maurice, the concept you mentioned is factory installed on the Corvette 2008/9 Z06 and the 2009 ZR1
