    what i'm looking for in the induction side is to remove the stock item minus the MAF, and to have a stainless pipe running from behind the bumper where i have removed the blanking plate.

    As you are going to have a car to look at i'll let you get some ideas.

    The Induction side is certainly something that would be good to do but recently
    whilst under the car I noticed the exhaust pipes, especially where they bend near the rear end are getting quite rusty on the bends, Ive not heard of anyone replacing theres yet but perhaps getting a kit sorted now would be a good idea
    in time for the eventual failure of the originals, I would be interested in a ss system from manifold to existing X powers

    Agree completely - certainly something I'd be interested in

    mine appear to be rusty on the bends also, I think it is just surface though- the pipes do appear to be stainless, but a low grade stainless.

    Very low grade I'd have said

    Think it all depends on commitments from owners before Piper will develop

    Can the sound the final product makes be altered easily during the production of each set??

    As 911 said, I prefer the quad look but am interested in a much more... err... visceral exhaust note. However, its possible some people will just want the quads with sublte OEM sound to replace their original sets etc.

    I have a set of zeroes im more than happy with, and from the comments from the xpower owners im not sure i could live with xpowers the full year round (low revving drone - winter slow speed months etc), so basically im am interested in a loud set of boxes for summer...

    But as geoff said, it would be good if a full set of plans for the entire system was drawn up so when parts do eventually go, we have a place to turn to.



    Nice range of work by the way, good to have you onboard

    I am also ready to replace my originals, I would be looking for OEM design with sound similar to levels emitted by Zeros, ideally with no resonance.
