Looking the the Speed Logic site I see a lot of photos of what looks like your showroom at Vintage. Which reminded me.... are there any plans to offer some of the VMS developed BDR custom equipment to us aftermarket folks? (But I understand if you wanted to keep it proprietary to set yourself apart from the other completion centers.) You have a parts link on your site but only 4 parts listed. Welcome to VINTAGE Motorsports Online Store I saw on a you tube video unit #1387 it mentioned side-pipe enhancements. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDVr3wbUk5I[/ame] Curious on whats changed? Thank you for any info. |
...also hoping sidepipe enhancements could be a service, not just a part.
I send you my sidepipes with baffles, you send me back sidepipes with glass packs. |

On the parts end we go back and forth on wanting to offer them and also keeping them exclusive. In general the process we have seen with other companies is to keep them exclusive for a bit and then open it up when there's enough demand to make it worthwhile. We have all kinds of tricks and parts we've developed, but often the case is you cannot charge a fair price for the actual effort. The bug screens are a great example... |
One more thing in regards to the sidepipes specifically. We had tried to work with a well known vendor of the glass pack style mufflers and every set they shipped us had damage. They claimed ignorance and it was a big headache. Scammed UPS or FedEx too claiming damage in shipping when it was obvious it was not.
So we are trying to find a big name to make the mufflers... Also on the green car we lost power with that guys "baseball flow through" mufflers over the factory BDR set. |
Thanks for the update Cash. I know its not smart business to have stock sitting on the shelf, and the items you all make are pretty model specific and have a small customer base unlike a company like Summit or Jegs.
The industry I'm in is a very lean and the "Just in time" parts are the mantra. I've been looking at the FlowMaster Slimline mufflers. They say they are.... Quieter Stainless Cool case eliminating the need for leg shields. Leno Guinea Pigged for them [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIAW2IZZaug[/ame] From Flowmasters site [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlDiQkWNhIY[/ame] DB sound tests [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZJ1oi9jJxc[/ame] While I'm thinking of it do you have a Part Number for the Collector gasket? I was just gonna make one with my ball peen hammer. Kinda miss making my own gaskets.... lol |

Perfect, thank you again Cash!.
I love Remflex, had great luck with their header gaskets over the years. |
