Special Thanks to Thunder Fabrications(Tony) and ARTurbo!
I want to thank Tony of Thunder Fabrications for custom making my 3" closed loop downpipe. I would also like to thank Art for the getting me hooked up w/ tony
Car has noticable quietened ...It's now hard to tell when I get on it except for the exhaust note ...Sounds beautiful when the turbo spools...and feels stronger..havn't taken it to dyno but when I do I'll post the results..
Once again I would like to thank you all...
Tony(Thunder Fabrications) did and excellent job on the d-pipe and if your intrested email Arturbo and he'll help you get in contact w/ him..
BTW ..car is a 2000 Civic Si w/ Drag III Turbo!

I have been trying to reach him since Sat. for the final pricing so I can let everyone know. That is the only thing I need so I can go ahead and sell them.
I hope you really like it because I know I did. I should be thanking you since you let us use your car and if it were not for you I would have never found someone with a Drag 3 kit. So, thank you again.
Also, if guys look at the latest issue of Sport Compact Car you will see a Miata on page 94. Well, the facrication shop that is making all of our downpipes also did just about everthing on this car aswell. He used to make the kits for BEGI(Bell engineering Group Inc of Corkey Bell).
Was your exhaust custom made aswell?

so when you sell the 3" DPs are they also going to be coming with the closed loop wastegate? Because 3" piping all the way through is going to be pretty loud all by itself. The closed loop DP should help some. Thanks.

The jig we made was for closed loop but only for the drag. We didnt do it for the Rev-hard because it was easier for drag because we are using the dump tube that came with the kit. Hopefully I will know the pricing ASAP so I can get back to everyone. That is all we are missing is the price.
