OMG sign me up, i want in on the 1st shipment......ill just save up, i was seriously about to drop 2 bills on megan elbow and down pipe.....but now that you have shown me this, im so glad i didn't send that check......

AzNCmB · 02-01-2008, 02:36 AM

dam, thats a nice looking oulet+flex+downpipe combo!!!

less stuff to bolt on, eliminates chance for exhaust leaks!

Slidin240Wayz · 02-01-2008, 07:02 AM

Do you have an S14 and S13 version of that downpipe?

Does it clear everything?

hotlavaflow · 02-01-2008, 08:13 AM

I wish you had that for a top mount

noequalibrium · 02-01-2008, 08:46 AM

has anyone tried their camber arm, Toe rod, Traction Rod, or Tension rods? Im choosing between this set or battle version for a s13. these look really nice though!

The MAX Flex Cobra exhaust system combines a turbo dump elbow, downpipe, and flex section into one easy to install system that produces benefits greater than the sum of its parts.

Innovative Features:

>Half inch thick inlet flange that is straight cut between bolt holes. This is 3x as much steel as our compeditors flange which prevents any warping from welding or heat cycling of the turbo.

>Half inch thick outlet flange eliminates leaks and failed gaskets under the car.

>Superior ground clearance without having to hammer factory metal. OEM heat shield must be removed. Down pipe runs paralell to the frame rail.

>Solid steel 3 leg trans. mount features slotted holes. Its so strong and has so much adjustability that if you mount it in its highest position it will raise the entire exhaust system so much that the cat back pipe will hit the subframe and diff.

>Dual 2 inch mandrel bent tubes used in the elbow, 3" flex section. 3" downpipe with only 1 bend for maxumim flow.

>Independant merged tubes in dump elbow keep turbine flow seperated from the waste gate all the way down to the flex section. Our compeditors have one big collector or if they do seperate its piped back into the elbow at a not so smooth angle.

>Turbune tube extends past the flange into the turbo completely seperating both sides of the turbo to prevent turbulence and maximixe hoesepower and torque. Other companies have either a bolt on extension that does not seal properly or a flap that does not seperate flow more for more than an inch.

>Vertically oriented flex section eliminates the usual flange and gasket who's bolts are difficult to get to. It also reduces the amount of unflexable weight that hangs on the exhaust manifold. >Vertically oriented flex section takes the place of the usual flange who's bolts are very difficult to get to. Vertical flex isolates any ground contact in the exhaust system from the turbo and manifold eliminating loose bolts, failed gaskets, and cracked manifolds. Other flex down pipes have the flex section on the bottom of the car towards the cat causing any contact with speed bumps to be transmitted directly to the turbo and manifold. Those horizontal flex section's drag on the ground because the flex is a larger diameter than the pipe which completely misses the whole point of having a flex section in the first place.

>Compatible with all bottom mounted turbos such as T25, T28, S15 turbo, GT2871R, GT25R etc. Inlet flange has one slotted hole to accomodate the different 5 bolt patterns and OEM gaskets in T25 & T28 OEM turbos. For turbos with a built in divider plate it is necessary to grind off the turbine tube extension.

>Compatible with Right and left hand drive S13,14, 15 chassis. Plenty of clearance for the steering shaft firewall and tranny.

>Compatible with above turbos and chassis equipped with SR20 or KA24 Turbo Conversion motors.

That would have been a mistake, everyone I know who is low scrapes a hole in the megan flex section and has to replace it.

Unfortunately development, testing, production and shipping all take time but I think its worth the wait just to save money on replacing crappy parts, cracked manifolds, loose bolts and leaky gaskets.

Oops, just when I was thinking I was thorough, I guess thats what happens when were in a hurry to get the customers car back that was nice enough to let us test fit. I guess you'll have to take my word for it till the next time we fit this on a car. Basically it has equal spacing between the tranny and the steering shaft on left hand drive cars. It hangs just slightly lower than the frame rail to prevent having to hammer the chassis but not so low that the flex section couldnt absorb a high center.

noequalibrium · 02-01-2008, 01:04 PM

looks like ill be getting my suspension package from you all!!!! great reviews. thanks man! Gonna save me some money too!

DC Dan MAX USA · 02-01-2008, 01:40 PM

Let me know what your Zip code is and I'll give you an accurate shipping quote. Thanks!

hitman · 02-01-2008, 03:55 PM

i saw this cobra thing the other day, its excellent. if my turbo outlet wasnt welded to my turbo, i would get one.

Slidin240Wayz · 02-01-2008, 04:20 PM

Thank you for the description.

What about the O2 sensors?

The Greddy unit has a thick flange like yours.

Will the stock nuts and bolts work with the outlet section?

WERDdabuilder · 02-01-2008, 04:24 PM

have a guesstimation if the price on the cobra?

Z33dori · 02-01-2008, 04:27 PM

i would guess around 200 bucks...

i dont care about the price....more of like when i can get it.

Dan do you think this will be out before summer hits

The stock SR o2 or the 300zx/Z32 o2 from local parts stores work.
Ya, Greddy knows whats up with strong flanges.
Yes stock hardware works great, the factory casting is pretty thick.

The Circuit Sports non flex cobra is $300 so I'm sure we'll try to be competitive with that price point.

I imagine we can giter done within 3 months for mass production, but if you had to have one sooner we can hand make it too.

Z33dori · 02-01-2008, 05:02 PM

so will it come with new nuts and bolts or we have to use the stock ones.

DC Dan MAX USA · 02-01-2008, 05:27 PM

I was thinking it that would be nice, gaskets too.

Z33dori · 02-01-2008, 06:13 PM

yea.....well keep us posted....

until then ill start saving

D.Bo · 02-01-2008, 08:39 PM

DC Dan MAX USA · 02-02-2008, 12:50 AM
