Reg retail goes for 375 alone but we all ready got 5 ppl interested so u'll already get 10% discount (w.o shipping) 10+ will give us 15% discount. Any questions ask me. Gotta make a deposit of 100 bucks to be in the gb ... contact johnny nd refer me (xd kidd) for this awesome deal. To make make a deposit or other question ask johnny which his info and pictures are provided in the link below.

Btw they are the makers from ppe headers (google it) they have good reps nd these headers are a steal for the price. (Based on 1zz headers)

do you "need" to get a midpipe made? can i just run the header and have it mated to the stock midpipe?

xd_kidd 08-11-2011 06:31 PM

U will need to fab up ur own mid pipe dude. It cannot make love to our stock mid pipe.

ScionNutt 09-12-2011 10:47 PM

AZ xD wanted.....
 
Now that the full length header has hit the streets, we are looking for an xD in the Phoenix area so we can build out a midpipe to fit. If anybody is interested in lending a hand (and getting a killer deal!), hit me up with a PM and we can roll from there. Gracias!

That would be cool! You also might be able to wrangle more traffic on Scionlife/XD forum. It seems they are a little more well known. I got my header and am looking forward to getting it installed. I haven't shopped around yet, what do you think labor would be for that?

ScionNutt 09-13-2011 06:22 AM

The installation is pretty straightforward as the exhaust manifold is very easy to get to. My guess is not more than two hours at the most.

XDevolution 09-13-2011 04:33 PM

If a midpipe is made will there be available options to mate with the stock header or any other aftermarket header? because im very interest in the midpipe and also will there be options similar to the corolla midpipe options?

You got it exactly! The different midpipe configurations will mirror the Corolla so folks have the option on how they want it built. With the number of Weapon R header out there, we do not want folks to feel like they are forced into changing headers just to enjoy a high flow midpipe.

Whack-A-Mole 09-14-2011 04:12 AM

I have my final parts coming in the mail. I'm getting the vibrant 1140 and 1145. So xd_Kidd, have you already got your header installed? If you haven't, then it will be a race. I'll get the vibrant muffler today, and get it fitted tomorrow with the stock system. Then when I get the resonator, I'll do the rest of the exhaust back including the header. I'm going to keep the stock cat because of my budget. I'll take a bunch of pics and a couple of videos with my iPhone, and it would be cool if you could use the same video setup as the iPhone so as to keep continuity to see the minor difference in the setups. I'm excited and I hope you are too. I love having something a little different.

xd_kidd 09-14-2011 07:41 AM

U'll get there first. I have no days off till... idk when. I was gonna have it done Tuesday but they wanted my car for too long and I had to get to work. Friday my car is going to the shop to get my passenger coilover tighten .. its alil loose (weird) .. but yea good luck man! I already had it lifted nd checked out. Looks good

Got your PM Jim thanks...

Whack-A-Mole 09-19-2011 10:45 AM

Well I'm getting work done today. The only issue right now is the second sensor wire length, which they will add wire to extend the reach. Here's a few pics of the vibrant 1145 muffler I'm going to use, and the stock mid pipe that's going to be replaced.http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/x...o/a73f4909.jpg

XDevolution 09-19-2011 11:06 AM

see the little piping right after that underbrace thats the only pipe in changing. from that bomb looking resonator to the axleback flange ima run 2.5 " piping. there is no need to chnage the pipe with the cat and resonator cus that pipe is already 2.5"

Whack-A-Mole 09-19-2011 11:32 AM

I see. I thought it was 2.25" though, oh well I'm doing 2.25" back, I've already bought the pipe.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Just went out and measured, it is 2.25".

YELOSUB 09-19-2011 04:03 PM

After talking to both Jim and Johnny at RPM I decided to donate my xD for the cause...I made the 60 mile one-way trip this afternoon to drop her off...I have spoken to both Jim and Johnny on the phone and they were really cool...It was nice to finally meet Johnny at the shop, cool dude...He showed me the header that's already available, man do they do awesome work...They should be done with my car this week hopefully and then you all should have mid-pipes available in no time...

Thanks again Johnny and Jim @ RPM, looking forward to see the final product...

Whack-A-Mole 09-19-2011 05:41 PM

You're on the right shop yelosub. I just got back from my local Midas, and am not happy. I bought a bunch of mandrel bent tubing, a resonator, a flex pipe, and a muffler. The straight part went fine with the header, stock cat, and flex pipe. (they had to extend the wires on the last sensor to behind the cat). They (Midas) then proceeded to ignore mandrel pipe I bought, and just crush bent the rest of the pipe to the muffler and didn't install the resonator at all. They then said that there were too many bends to use what I had, which was 4x45 degree bends 4x90 degree bends and 2x180 degree bends. I left pissed and loud. Now I need to find a reputable exhaust shop to redue their job from the mid pipe back. I guess the good news is they didn't mess up the mandrel pipe I have, and I can find a proper shop to finish the job. Anybody know a good shop around Chattanooga? It's been a long day!

XDevolution 09-19-2011 08:16 PM

I guess ima just wait for the mid pipe :) o boy this is exciting

how much can we expect the midpipes to cost? around the same as the corollas? and will there be a group buy so we can have those discount opportunities?

xd_kidd 09-19-2011 08:56 PM

yea!!!!!!!!! midas and meineke was giving me a hard ass time! and took it to just a normal pipe bending shop and fucker was like yea it doesnt have the lil pipe that connects to a flange so he didnt want to put work so ima leave it on hold for a sec. I'm starting to have thoughts for another car in a few months

Whack-A-Mole 09-19-2011 09:14 PM

Didn't ohcrap get some exhaust work done at JE import performance? As for the mid pipe from rpm, I'm sure it will be good as I love my header! I don't know if the mid pipe will be long enough for a cat, flex pipe, and a resonator. I tried to get Midas to put the resonator close to the muffler like tanabe did with their axle back, but I left with a friend. I guess out of sight out of mind.

CXTKRS1 09-19-2011 09:25 PM

LMAO at you guys going to Midas and Meineke to get custom exhaust work.

ThisorThatxD 09-19-2011 09:35 PM

i went to Meineke and got exactly what i wanted....

i knew the guy tho lol. 60$ custom cat-back ftw

As far as the mid pipe goes. Its jst a pipe. Nothing fancy. Between the headers nd my axle back. Not much going on between the cat nd resonator.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

craps exhaust was done in texas.

XDevolution 09-20-2011 03:03 PM

ok ima ask this, is the mid pipe the little pipe between our res and axleback? or is it the whole pipe that connects to our stock header and axleback? cus all i really want is that tiny pipe thats between the res and axleback.

Whack-A-Mole 09-20-2011 11:23 PM

The axel only runs to your rear wheel. You can see how short it is in pics of available products. The mid pipe runs from the down pipe or the long tube header to just before the axel. It's only the straight part of the pipe from what I understand. The stock resonator reduces the pipe diameter in our car.

Lol!!!

XDevolution 09-21-2011 08:28 AM

yea i just wanna replace that smaller pipe. how much do you think just replacing the pipe inbetween the resonator and axle will be?

ThisorThatxD 09-21-2011 09:15 AM

it really shouldnt be that much. anything over 50$ would be a rip off in my opinion. its not that much pipe.

XDevolution 09-21-2011 04:29 PM

true, hopefully in a few weeks itle get done.

Whack-A-Mole 09-22-2011 03:38 PM

I think I'm going to end up getting one of the rpm mid pipes. My dynamic infoulable Midas plan didn't work out. Scionutt, give us an update.

YELOSUB 09-22-2011 07:21 PM

I got a call from Johnny yesterday with an update...As we know the header went on without issue...Johnny was hoping that he could just modify the mid-pipe for the Corolla that he already has available but that turned out not to be the case...He will be building a mid-pipe from scratch...If not done this week, he should be done first thing next week...So far a pleasurable experience with RPM as they are atleast keeping me updated...
