BRM Cat-back Exhaust system

[Jeff Williams]

Where do I send my money?

[AZhitman]

LOL - I knew this was coming...

The catback systems are ready to order, pricing is as follows:

Aluminized with stainless mufflers and tips: $775Fully polished stainless tubing, mufflers and tips: $950

Shipping for the Q catback will be a little more than my other systems because of the size, but we've managed to keep it down to $65.

Offroad pipes (to eliminate the factory cats and precats) are $175.

Orders can be placed via PayPal to "[email protected]", or email me and I'll send you an invoice.

I can't WAIT until mine gets here!

More pics on the way...

hey Greg, how's the exhaust set up?

does it "y" off the resonator to dual mufflers or what? I've never really looked at Q exhaust...

[elwesso]

its dual in dual out all the way, to a dual tip striaght through muffler on the back.....

[AZhitman]

Don't forget the stainless NASCAR-style X-pipe.

"Offroad pipes (to eliminate the factory cats and precats)are $175." I hope I'm not being picky but how does this eliminate the precats? Or is this a misstatement? Will there eventually be a volume discount? (while realizing stock replacement is $1500) Thx

[AZhitman]

Simple - The off-road pipes go up to the connector just above the precats. Eliminates all cats... For those who will never use their Q on a public roadway.

Pricing is discounted about as far as it will get. Cost of components, tubing and labor, plus a small amount to help cover the cost of R&D and the jig (which I'm fully aware we'll NEVER make back).

the exhaust is great, but I need headers!!

Exhaust= SaladHeaders= Kobe beef

There is no connector just above the precats...the OEM exhaust manifolds are all one solid piece until the first connector which is between the precats and secondary cats

Otherwise I would have had "shorty" headers built

Rob, who built your headers btw? was it brm?

My bad, I misread our fabricator's notes.... Thanks Rob!

If you remove the precats and cats besides the legal problems, you are at the mercy of the fuel sulfur/ethyl alcohol content and the smells that go along with it.

[rsiwicki]

sorry for my french but....WTF???

I have the BRM exhaust already....my car was the used as the template to build exhaust jig and those pics of the exhaust system were from my car.....

The price you are paying for it....$950 (total system excluding shipping and installation) is a good deal as I had to pay $850 for my entire system and the $850 was totally independently charged to me as if I just walked in off the street. BRM was later given a price much cheaper than what I paid for the system so you all are getting a damn good deal.....

NO.....BRM did not have anything to do with my headers. I found the header shop on my own and paid for the entire header system on my own. BRM has nothing to do with my headers and all BRM did on the exhaust was ask me to drop off my car for the exhaust system to be built and the guy at the exhuast shop worked out the price for me to pay $850.....BRM had nothing to do with the pricing of $850 for the exhaust system

[AZhitman]

^ So true!

My recommendation (for all interested Q owners) would be forget the off-road pipes and go with the catback, POSSIBLY with a pair of flanged high-flow cats (which we can do as well).

LOL!!! Our secretary said my car smelled good today when we went lunch!!!! I about $hit my pants and said what? She says....I don't know, but your car smells good. "Crazy Colombian Girls" She honestly liked the sound of the exhaust....

The rotten egg smell has actually gone away somewhat...don't know why but it is much less than it use to be....I am getting the entire system fixed next week with CAT's and my EGR hooked back up.....I have only thrown a check engine light code twice due to the EGR not being hooked up and gas mileage seems no difference

[90Q45blue]

how much are you thinking those cats will run? $$$

Nick

[rsiwicki]

don't care.....at this point I am all burned out on modifying my cars as this is definitely not for me. Right now...just trying to get the car back to normal and then in 6 months or so buy myself a nice x-mas present that is sporty with all the performance that I want already into the car from the factory

[AZhitman]

Nick, flanged cats are $155 each...

[90Q45blue]

Well, it's still cheaper than replacing the stock system w/ another stock system.

WORD! My insurance company paid $1,100.00 for just the driver's side secondary cat, along with the pipe (it is pre-welded, with the heat shields). We had to wait about 6 weeks, too! I have 3 cats with 200,000 miles on them, and one, wit habout 40,000 miles on it.

[squeefoo]

"getting a damn good deal..." YES ...That is realized - if you have been around long enough you may note prices go down after initial offering (things are paid for; (remember $1000 calculators?)) Also note the caveat "(while realizing the stock is $1500)" What's wrong with asking?! If the answer is no that's fine. I know $750 is cheap. JEEZ

[AZhitman]

It's all good Squee - I'd have asked the SAME question!

NOTE that I haven't even bought one of my own catbacks yet...

oh yeah duh....I remember being all like "oooo pretty" now...
