P3 (Phat Performance Products) Centre Pipes
While speaking to Phat a while back about his mufflers, he expressed an interest in wanting to also offer a proper centre & Y-pipe for anyone interested. When combined with his dump pipe and mufflers, should be the ultimate exhaust setup for any Liberty.
However he needs at least x10 people before he could start making a jig for it, so I've been piggy backing this off of the mufflers thread for some time. Well, it looks like we finally have the numbers so I've started this new thread.
Construction
This will be made of mandrel bent stainless steel. So no folds or creases while maintaining the same 3" diameter all the way through. Near the start will be a flex joint, and there will be two 12" resonators, one after another, near the centre. There's usually just one resonator in most cases, but Phat wants a completely near stock sounding system at idle.
Pricing
Combined with the mufflers and dump pipe, the centre pipe will cost $880. Bought on it's own, it will be more. Unfortunately I don't have the pricing for buying it on its own.
Yes, one could probably get a mild steel system made at any muffler shop for cheaper, but it will be no where near the quality and fit of the Phat one. This buy will be for any discerning owner looking only for the best.
Availability
Once the spit and polish is put on and the final product is released, it will take 2 weeks from time or order to availability.
Please be aware that dump pipes are only currently available for MY07+ onwards. Dump pipes for the 2.0 turbo in MY04-MY06 models are not yet available (a Group Buy is currently in the works for that here).

Pictures
Unfortunately since this has yet to be made there are no actual pictures of it. But Leo has kindly taken some photos of a similar setup for his friend's Forester. The quality of the work speaks for itself.
