3800 PAGING: Ron Vogel/W-Body Store

[TommyGloves]

I’d like to know if you guys can fabricate a 3” DP for my 03 SSEi. The DP is slightly different than the 97-03 GTPs. I can see if Ed Morad can send you a stock Bonneville DP for measurements, etc or I can stop by with my car.

If you want, I can see if I get a “group buy” going on the BonnevilleClub.com to make it worth your time. Please let me know.


Thanks,
Tommy


FWIW - I have a TOG DP. Could we use that for the flange and flex?

Yes, it can be done.
I doubt the Tog DP will be any help, the flex could probably be grafted, but I'd have to chop it up. If you wanted to to a group thing, I'd need to see your car. I could come up with a list of maretials to do it, then we'll line up a list of people for the group buy. Maybe we can make a mod day of sorts at the shop.

doesnt the ssei come with a m60 or m62? are you guys making any power with that blower or are you upgrading to the m90?

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

its a m90, all 95 and earlier have m62's
m62 was not avilable with a 3800 any year after that

Same L67 and M90 blower that comes with the W-bodies. The only difference is the engine mounts, coil bracket and the rear exhaust manifold.

Ron - Did you want me to gauge interest now or wait until you see the car? Feel free to call me so we can work out the details. Thanks

 

[TommyGloves]

Ron - PM sent.

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

I got it, I just have been working a lot. I'll call you tomorrow.

talking of downpipes, why is it that a WBS downpipe for a GTP is 149.99, while one with a cat is 279.99? I see the added 130 dollars, but if a cat costs 80 bucks, does it really cost 50 dollars just to weld?

Also, with the WBS installations, will there be any option to possibly fabricate cat-back exhaust systems? For instance with PEM's and a downpipe, could i get the exhaust finished in store, or would i need to look elsewhere?

Oh, and this will be around may, and i might be going no cat, once i pass emission in april ill be free to go. If i go no cat, can i get 3" pipe going all the way back to a y collector, bypassing the offroad $70 charge?

Sorry for the money questions. I've just been scraping together every nickel and dime to try to and at least get my exhaust done before i head to college, so i can get rid of the last of my KR, and money is still very tight. I honestly need the best bang for my buck, and I'm putting my faith in you guys, plus you're literally down the street.

I'm looking at

PEM's - 200
DP - 150
Dynomax - 2 X 35
Y - Collect - 50

I had orignally hoped for 600 altogether minus tips, but that only leaves 130 install, exhaust pipe, and the cat?.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but this is what i want, and what i can afford right now. If its not possible i'll save the money. If it is, I'm getting it done asap. TIA

Edit: I greatly apologize for hijacking the thread, however i didnt want to start a new thread, and i didn't want to PM such a lengthy message. thanks

 

[Mike K]

First of all, please don't PM because it's really hard for me to keep up with the various forums. Any inquiries should be sent to [email protected] as that will yield you the quickest response.

As for the downpipe, you're comparing our weld-in downpipe to our bolt-in downpipe. We offer our pipe in 3 flavors:

Weld-in (Just the DP piece from the manifold outlet to the cat) - $149.99
Bolt-in Offroad (Replaced everything between the manifold outlet and the catback) - $219.99
Bolt-in Catted (Same as above but with cat) - $279.99

So you're actually paying $60 to upgrade to a catted pipe.

Hope that clears it up.

 

[GTPquickRB]

wow, awesome....now for an install, could i get the weld in and the cat separate? and have those thrown together?

[snapback]116338[/snapback]​

They are actually pre-manufactured, so we'd have to cut them apart and then re-weld them. Is there a particular reason you want it this way? Maybe there is a solution that isn't apparent.

 

[Mike K]

Well, you'd still have the u-bend in place if you did that and I'm sure you don't want that. Aside for that, you would be looking at $100 labor for the weld-in pipe versus $50.00 labor for the bolt-in so getting the better pipe will actually end up costing you the same in the long run.

 

[GTPquickRB]

well i have the u-bend delete already, except i believe the diameter is too small for my liking.

What i want

PEM's
3" Downpipe
Highflow Cat
3" Exhaust to a 3>2.5" Y collector
2.5" to dual mufflers

I guess the cheapest way is to buy the bolt in catted dp. and just worry about the 3" exhaust from the cat back. cool. any idea what that would cost?

 

[PANDA]

Kinda off-topic but Ron or Mike, are the wbodystore DP's in stock yet, or are they still backorderd?

 

[Mike K]

They'll be backordered for quite some time. If you want one we suggest getting your order in now as they are on a relatively quick 1 week turnaround time right now.

Tommy, I have a set of Bonneville PEMs in stock right now. We made them by accident so if you know anyone that can use them they're $200 w/ no core required.

Mike - I already have PEMs on my SSEi. But if you send me some pics I can post 'em up on the Bonneville forums.

Also, I have 2 sets of GTP stock exh manifolds with xover and a 1 set from my SSEi that I can I'd like to offer up for your $50 core purchase offer. I know you don't want Bonneville mani's...but I'm sure if you ported them...I could get a buyer for 'em.

I can bring the cores with me when I meet with Ron to discuss my Bonne DP. BTW - Can you remind him to call me. B)
