** UPDATE AS OF TUESDAY MARCH 10TH **
Thanks again for everyone's patience. Since it's Phat's first muffler production, there were some teething issues that caused delays. Plus Phat being Phat, everything had to be done properly and correctly if it were to receive Phat's seal of approval. Considering the number of sets being produced, it had to be done right from set number 1!
Production In Motion
In any case, production finally started in full swing over the weekend, and there are already 1 or 2 sets out. First few owners on the list have been contacted for pick up and installation at Phat's place.
There will be more sets rolling out each day, so please be patient as you're contacted.
Wagon Owners
Thanks to Spec.B-GT's assistance, a set will be installed on his wagon to measure how far to extend the tips for the x4 wagon buyers. Once this is done it won't be another few days before the wagon version is available. Your patience is extremely appreciated!
Pictures
Here are a few pics of the release version of the mufflers. Please excuse the grass background. This was an impromptu meet up while Phat was out and about.
Mmm, stainless steel goodness.
Don't be alarmed by the bends in the tips. Due to the large outlet holes, if you were to have the tips going straight out, they would touch and burn the bumper bar. The tips had to be angled inward before being straightened at the ends.
A view of the angled tips from the front. The back half will be hidden under the bumper and will be out of sight. Only x2 straight tips will be visible.
The back view. The pipe from the flange to the muffler inlet is mandrel bent.
Yeah, that opening is pretty big.
Straight view of the slash cut tips. Sorry if rolled tips weren't available this time around folks.
Another angle.
