when the first midpipe is done there should be a pic posted up just to see exactly how it will look.

Ok, I spoke to Johnny on the phone today...Things are going good and everything is moving right along...Looks like they will be completely done with my car on Tuesday but he did get the mid-pipe test fitted and mounted up...He sent me some pics of it and it looks awesome...I like what I am seeing so far...

As far as questions go I wont be able to answer them but Johnny did say that either him or Jim would try to get on this weekend to answer them...Now on to the pics...

Man, even under your car, looks show quality. What diameter pipe is after the resonator, and does it run up to the stock axel back location?

Lol...I believe Johnny said its 2 1/4" tubing throughout...As for as how far it goes I don't know...

What about price and when can we order. My Midas mid pipe rattles, and I want it gone ASAP.

price is a serious deciding factor this is what will i guess make or break my decision.

Thanks for the kind words! Our company would be nada without the help and support of folks like Nateson, xD Kidd and our new best friend Yelosub. These three have been a driving force behind the creation of our Toyota header and midpipe and should be thanked for helping develop some kick a$$ products for the xD community. The good news is that we were wrapping up everything yesterday so Yelosub can quit taking the bus and get his hotrod back!

We'll be releasing out the different configurations and pricing ASAP so we can start building and shipping. Please note we also designed the midpipe to install with the stock exhaust manifold or Weapon R header. Like the Corolla project, we wanted to offer the option for folks to buy the midpipe even if they didn't want to purchase our header or had already made the investment in another aftermarket shorty header.

Thanks,

Johnny

Thanks for the kind words Johnny...For you folks in Az, I suggest you take a drive out to Chandler to meet Johnny and the crew and also to check out the shop...

Looks good.

I want to thank Johnny for all his hard work that went into this project...After my last venture (turbotoyota) I was a little nervous about loaning my car for another project...But after physically meeting Johnny at the shop and his continual updates and phone contact with me my mind was quickly put at ease...After seeing the final product I'm very pleased...The sound clips sound like a little beast has been unleashed...Can't wait to meet up with Johnny tomorrow and get my car back...

Thanks again RPM...

Woo hoo, talk about customer service!!! Johnny just called and said he is driving the roughly 60 miles to deliver my vehicle to me along with all my stock parts in a follow truck...I can't thank Johnny and the staff at RPM enough for all their work...

I will give you all my feedback once I get the car in my hands and take her for a spin...

Make sure to support RPM as they have supported the xD community when few other companies have...

UPDATE!!!!

My vehicle was delivered at 1:00 pm Arizona time :)

I fired up the xD for the first time, man what a completely different sound...She sounded loud and mean...Throttle response is instant...I took her for a spin and opened her up, man the butt dyno could definitely feel the power difference...Remember folks, I have an AUTOMATIC...I smash the gas and the xD gets up and goes...Smash the gas from a roll on and the power is instant...I believe their dyno claims on the Corolla for a 8-10HP gain are correct for the header and midpipe combo...I believe I'm probably somewhere around 12-15HP with the header, midpipe, Strup exhaust, and the short ram intake...I might be even a little more but without a dyno I'm not for certain...

You DO NOT need to run an aftermarket exhaust to use their header and midpipe combo...I personally feel that with the stock exhaust it sounds better but I will continue to use the Strup for the added performance gains...

Once again, thank you to Johnny and the staff at RPM...You guys do incredible work and I can see future products from you guys...turbo (hint hint) :)

Nice post a video lol

they already did and then some lol.

I'm not gonna lie that caught my eye (didn't intend to rhyme). This plus an axle back would give someone some decent gains without having to mess with removing the manifold.

Now Just questions. because havent been following super closely just snippets waiting for final product.


OK so midpipe alone, just using stock everything else would be $180?

But if I want Headers from you, I have to get mid pipe as well and looking at $555 + shipping.

If I get headers and mid pipe do I need a new cat and resonator or will it still work with stock parts?

Also are the mid pipe or midpipe headercombo throwing any codes

We make a midpipe that bolts to your factory exhaust manifold or if you already have a shorty style header like the weapon r. We also make a midpipe that fits to our long tube header. Both midpipes can be made in the configuration of your choice (with cat, without cat, with resonator without resonator) If you order without a cat (off road use only) we do put a cel elimator on the pipe to help keep the check engine light off. Midpipes will bolt up to your factory axle back muffler and aftermarket axle back mufflers.

Here is the price break down with different options.

Header: $375
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe only (no cat or resonator): $180
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe with cat only: $300
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe with resonator only: $230
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe with cat and resonator: $350
*Shipping and handling is NOT included and will vary by location based upon our Arizona "ship from" location.

If you have any other questions please feel free to call the shop 480-390-2927

I am going to have to wait and see. I want the Mid pipe but I also want the header. But there is no way I can afford both now. and I don't want to get the mid pipe now just to have to turn around and get a new one later if I get your headers.

I believe the midpipe bolts up to the stock header also...I would call Johnny if I was you to confirm this...If that's the case, get midpipe now and header later...
