    So we get asked all the time if we have an up pipe when people are ordering other bits like our PnP'd manifolds or HiFlow Crosspipe....so i guess it would make sense to make a kickarse GrimmSpeed up pipe right? Ok, we did. Still in the prototyping phase right now(going quite well might i add) so you cant order just yet

    You are looking at the same great quality as our other products on the market...

    -massiave SS flanges
    -minimal internal steps for maximum flow
    -complete stainless steel construction
    -optional ceramic coating
    -weight reduction over stock piece..we all know how anal justin is over weight reduction
    -flex joint that is NOT located in the bend which adds life expectancy to the flex section. many other up pipes have a flex right in a sharp bend so all the exhaust/turbulence is hitting up against it.

    If everything goes as plan we should have these puppies finalized in a few weeks pending our torture tests on them.

    and of course...some sneak peak pics.

    Looks really great, and the differences are clear from the illistration, but are their any benefits of being a board member with purchasing from GrimSpeed products?

    Out of curiosity how are you guys testing these wonderful product idea's your company is manufacturing? Do you have a dedicated vechicle you're utilizing for testing on the track?

    we can definitely work out a deal with you if you need some stuff. as for testing, usually one of the grimmspeed guys gets one of the prototypes and is told to go beat on it.

    on a side note...depending on how far we go with our grimmspeed project car, we may need a driver for some road events ;)

    48.6mm or 1.91"...which makes it fit perfectly with the gaskets.

    i cant ruin all the suprises in one day now can i ;)

    we'll be shooting for a touch under brands like turboxs. with better quality and a cheaper price they should sell well.

    i go back and forth on this everyday. currently it does not have one. you dont need one...but some people are scared to remove stock sensors even if you dont need them.

    That would immediately eliminate alot of potential sales. Plus give the competitors one more thing that they have that this item does not. The people who are looking at this for an almost stock car will most likely need/want that bung location. These same people will probably care less about the bends than the missing hole. If you are going to make a performance part for the masses, you need to make it for all needs/wants. Otherwise just make a performance part and specify what it does not have and give a good reason why. Or have two different parts. (which is not cost effective, especially if you stock them)
