Jim,

I'm "IN", but "hanging fire" to see what has developed w/ regard to SW's investigation/experimentation you mentioned in an earlier post. When do you expect to divulge your 'final' determination/offerings so I know which product to order?

In any case, I'm "in", and anticipating a mid July order time frame (from what I gather from you, Jim, is about right, no?)

P.

Hello gentlemen

I am happy to say that the cadcam and robotic roamering are nearly done and we are ready to begin building the first step. A mock up skeletal system. which will be used for cnc digitizing.

After that a pattern piece is built, test fit, and used to create jig and fixtures for test pattern pieces. After that we will convert the bends to cnc for mandrel bending and the flanges to cad for laser cutting.

once we have a final pattern we will check it in the fixtures and move on to the next piece.

This is done with every piece.

Probably close to 120 pieces with all of the potential combinations we are building for this car.

Did i mention we make over 600 different mufflers??????????????

Any sound level....any performance level............any length. All 304l lifetime mufflers.

we dont use glass packs. we use stainless steel packs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also...lifetime!!!!

we have a lot of work to do to get to the first prototype piece, which will be tested to confirm our expectations on horsepower and torque.

catback to factory manifolds, headers to factory exhaust and most aftermarket exhausts, and a total sw system!!!!

All in offroad and catted versions.

All bolt on at home!!!!!!!!!!

All with our lifetime warranty.


Ps- no relation to the Watson headers!!

I did design performance systems and exhausts for Harley Davidson and my family does own Ohio's oldest dyno performance shop.


My toys you ask??????????????


I own a few toys:

Dad bought a 1969 427 435hp tri-power 4 gear stingray brand new in 69. drove it only 2k miles..........left it to me. it is still asleep in the garage. silver with black interior. last driven....1981.

1985 factory triple silver tpi vette. Silver everything in and out. silver leather. also asleep... it is now a WELL COVERED workbench in the garage.

1977 factory tangerine camel corvette with full factory camel leather. every day driver and winter car.

1968, 1969, 1970 r/t 440 hp dodge chargers, 1970 440 cuda, 1968 coronet r/t 440hp.

garage queens............all of them.

2008 pt cruiser. grocery getter.

1989 toyota carolla...........low miles, rust free, 45 mpg , yet still just something i keep around to kick when i get stressed.

PSPS- I AM ANTICIPATING GETTING EVERYTHING FINISHED UP AND TESTED MID JULY. WE CAN TAKE THE ORDERS THEN. IT WOULD HELP HAVING ORDERS IN ADVANCE SO MATERIALS AND SCHEDULING COULD BE READIED.

HOWEVER; I DONT EXPECT YOU TO BUY ANYTHING THAT DOESNT EXIST YET.

( I HAVE THIS LAND FOR SALE JUST A FEW MILES SOUTH OF THE FLORIDA KEYS) HA HA

ONE THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT WE TAKE YOUR ORDER AND CREDIT CARD ON THE SAME DATE BUT WE NEVER HIT YOUR CARD UNTIL THE DAY IT SHIPS!!! AND YOU ARE NOTIFIED THAT DAY AND SENT TRACKING INFORMATION, ETC ETC.

I WILL MAKE ALL THE INFO AND PICS AVAILABLE AS THEY MATERIALIZE. RIGHT NOW EVERYTHING IS JUST DIGITIZED BITS OF INFORMATION. VERY IMPORTANT....BUT NOT MUCH TO LOOK AT.

KINDA LIKE A FEW WOMEN I KNOW!! LOL.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND GENTS.........CHAT AT YOU NEXT WEEK.

I'm interested in tilizing my stock exhaust, at least the tips. So, maybe the headers X Pipe and high flow cats mating up to the factory stuff somewhere? Have you ran any tests with a setup like this? I'm curious to what it will sound and perform like. I would like an increase in sound and HP while retaining the stock appearance from the street.

FWIW, I have SW headers to cats to stock pipes with an LT4 resonator and Dynomax Ultraflows mated to stock tips.

On a Superflow dyno it went from 325 to 350whp with the exhaust, then 370 with the headers.

I think it sounds great, and not nearly as loud as many systems. Though it is not quiet and does have more resonance than stock.
