4 inch Headcount; SOUND OFF...

[Da Dark Jedi]

OK, since Wes is being kind, I thought we should have a head count for the people who ACTUALLY place their order for the 4inch tips. So here goes...

1

Ordered today thru his website via CC.

I retract my statement, and hang my head in shame...I realized what forum link I was in " Innovative Interceptors"

[SILVERSURFER03]

Think that makes you number 11. If true, that would make DR.DOOM 12 & 13... Getting closer! :cool:

[offroadkarter]

He's 12, so we are at 12 right now.

[High-C]

[DOOM]

Sorry im late guys. Yes i ordered 2 sets thru paypal on jan 14th. I ordered the 2nd set just because. I hope we are at 20 sets now. Hey wes when is the actual order going to be placed???

[Hacklemerc]

I Ordered A Set Thru The Website Via Cc...not Sure What Number That Makes Me.

Also, Wes, The Charge Hs Not Appeared On My Account Yet... Has It Been Processed?

To my LIMITED UNDERSTANDING The CC charge will not appear until we have a solid COMMITEMENT of 20 orders (some has paid via check) which slows the process. It will show when we meet this goal and the ordering takes place. REMEMBER Megs wants their money in FULL up FRONT since this is a limited run. Wes has been kind enough to extend the deadline for us, and from what I see on this thread it's a good thing

We started this thread so that we may keep track ourselves and not burden Wes with this, "How many are there now"! Judging by all the late orders they are still TRICKLING IN.

And also there will be a processing time from Megs, 6wks or so and they will ship directly to Wes, so there is this turn-around time too. Wes will deliver our orders but he is 1 man. We knew there would be a wait since Megs has stop production on the 3" tips from lack of sales for these.

So if somebody will do the count I think we MAYBE @ 17 or so.

[Da Dark Jedi]

OK... my bad! I just saw a post by Wes dated 1/22/08 @5:12 CDT, the current count by him is 23. Below is his quote.



"Over 23 sets! w00t!

Gonna keep it open for a day or two more for those last few stragglers."

[RCSignals]

paid through website days ago

[TiTo35]

Any1 know when those things are gettin shipped out?
I emailed Wes, but I know he maybe busy...so does any1 else know the word?

[wchain]

[Richy04]

I know Megs stopped making the 3 inch tips, if there is a group buy, would they be willing to make a run?

Maybe an committed order will motivate them..

What's the good word, Wes? :beer:

[SC Cheesehead]

Anybody get theirs yet?

SCCH

[Da Dark Jedi]

Give the man another 2wks. They are being shipped to him, and he's making the labels with the correct address. Hopefully by tax deadline they'll be @ you're door.

[DOOM]

Maybe i'll have mine before i go to lidios shop on the 21st. Cant wait to hear what they sound like.

[offroadkarter]

[TiTo35]

THANKS WES!!!!

They so puuuuuuurrrtttttyyyyyyyy:D

[shami02]

Mine arrived and they sure look sharp.... Now to figure a slick custom way to mount them up, hummmm...

[wchain]

Worth the wait eh fellas?

[Hacklemerc]

More than worth the wait. I stopped at the exhaust shop down the road and am going to get them put on this weekend sometime. Thanks.

Anyone got them on yet? I plan on having them stick a little bit farther out than the factory tips. I've heard that it cuts down on the drone in the inside of the car. I have flowmasters on right now and I get a wicked drone inside the car now.

Thanks again Wes!!

[Da Dark Jedi]

Thanks again Wes!

[SC Cheesehead]

Worth the wait eh fellas?

Yup, Yup Yup, Yup!!!

SCCH

[Hacklemerc]

Well I got the tips on this afternoon, I love the way they sound with my Flowmasters. I also found a new exhaust shop. The guys at Exhaust Unlimited here in Belleville are awesome. $45 to put both tips on. Awesome job, and guaranteed for the life of the car. Pics will follow.. I need to wash the beast before I take them... you guys would shoot me if you saw how dirty she is....

[QWK SVT]

I'm getting really jealous! I haven't got my tips - nor an email from FedEx, or anything...

Wes - what method of shipping was used for Canadian orders?:help:

[BATMANN]

Well i just got home and what did i see a box with the most awesome lookin 4'' Polished SS megs ehaust tips in it Thanks very much Wes!!
I will get these bad boys on first thing in the morn i have flowmasters aswell so i know i wont be disappointed.

[sd8683]

I NEED PICS GUYS!!! Lol

[Hacklemerc]

As soon as it quits raining and I get the big black car washed up I will post up some pics. THe neighbor came out yesterday when I had just fired the car up and asked me if I had got new exhaust because he could hear me when I came and left for work.

Love them new tips.

[BATMANN]

They look great you will not be disappointed thats for sure, i have the 40 series flowmasters which are the loudest and the sound is 3 or 4 time more pronounced than with the stock tips it definitly Rummbles with the sound of power now.

[Hacklemerc]

I have 40 series flowmasters too... Deffiniately turning more heads with the sound of the exhaust now. Nice rumble and roar when the pedal gets mashed.... I'm loving them.

[Hacklemerc]

The Guy who put them on said the looked like Cannons sticking out the end of the car. I had them moved about an inch farther out to "cut" down on some of the noise in the cabin, yeah, its still loud as all get out and I love it.

Hey now leave me out of this ;)

Is it me or do they look alittle bit to big in that shot. Maybe just one of those illusions?

[BATMANN]

Heres a comparison shot .http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/BATMANN/DSCF1761copy.jpg

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

What do the stock tips measure, 3.5" dia.? Other than the slant cut being more pronounced on the stockers, the diameter looks almost identical. Did anyone measure how much the stock resonators in the tips neck down to?

Stock tips 2.25" inlet 3.5" Diamater Stock cut 30 degrees

Megs 4" tips, 2.5" inlet, 4" diamater 15 degree cut (machine cant make it any steeper)

[shodude]

got my tips on today! love the look. had them pull the tips out about 1-2 inches. looks very nice and the sound is not bad either!

[The Big Stu]

Glass Packs + 4" Deletes = Hell Yes!

Sound or video to come if Wes has the equip to do so

[Richy04]

Mine are on, cost me more than 45 bucks though.. Made the guy bring em out an inch or so.. They now Peek out off the back with the Megs Logo showing.. Looks and sounds great!! Thanks Wes!!

The 410's are next, can anyone recommend a brand, I heard some whine from some defect, looking to do it right the first time.. Tnx

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

Ford 4.10s, made in USA (not the made in Italia Motive-made repackaged Ford Racing gears, ask before you buy what the part # is, the -M gears are motive and the -A's are US

Thanks Vics,

What shop put your tips on?

[Richy04]

Slim Pickings down here, paid $130 to have em put on and they did it right there for me.. Took the guy over an hour, but he took his time, made em perfect so I chalked it up to a good job and tipped him well too.

ill keep it in mind.

any idea how much they'd cost to have 2.5" piping put on from the H pipe (keeping stock h pipe) back?

[QWK SVT]

My tips finally came in! The snail mail took a while, but noissues with crossing the border (not duty, taxes, etc, either).

Many thanks to Wes!:bows:

Now, to figure out which mufflers these will be mounted with :hmmm:

[Svashtar]

I'm trying to find pics of these installed, which is why I'm poking around. IIRC, Wes advertised these for sale 2 or 3 years ago, and I don't think they took off at all. Now I've been gone for a while and they're selling like hotcakes?!

I need to see these on the car. I have the 3" delete tips installed and they look nice. Looks like I missed a cool group buy.

P.S. found the pics and they look great. When Wes sold me my 3" ones I found a good guy locally and had him bring them out 1" past the faring as well, which really looks better. Sound was more potent, but not bad at all.

They are almost the same diameter as the 3" ones, I think it's the 15 degree angle that does the most to help them look bigger. I need to think about this. !

Check with the site vendors... The Dealer ask for Ray Sr. (800.216.6411), Reinhart Automotive and Wes, you can't go wrong with them! :beer:

[Da Dark Jedi]

Did any of you polish and wax them before install?

[Hacklemerc]

I ran over mine with never dull and polish. I try to get under her and polish them every couple weeks. Its been raining here so much tho I haven't been able to.
