General 07.v.x.x Updates:

8/29/08:
  • Pics of the actual 07.FE.v.3.0 and 07.FE.v.4.0 kits added to the F/E Kit page.
  • New F/E kit release.....07.FE.v.5.0! This will be the LED strip tail light and a bracket to bolt the license plate to be bottom of the stock exhaust!
7/31/08:
  • The bracket for the 07.FE.v.3.0 and 07.FE.v.4.0 is coming along very nicely.
  • The prototype bracket is done. It does need a few modifications. The dimensions of it were good before I shaped it. The plastic moved a bit more than I had anticipated. But I have re-worked the dimensions. I will be getting some parts cut to help shape it and keep things where they need to be.
    • fekitb I know it's not a fancy injection molded plastic part, but it's all hidden and it does the job.
  • There is some very strong double sided tape between the red tube and the bracket that will hold it on there just fine. The two small zip ties are there to make me feel better about it staying where it is supposed to. They could be removed, but I like 'em there. Plus they add a nice break between the end of the red tail light and the amber turn signals.

  • I am also working on a bracket to mount the license plate to the stock exhaust. I'm thinking of adding a new FE kit, the 07.FE.v.5.0. This will basically be the 07.FE.v.4.0 with a bracket to mount the license plate to the bottom of the stock exhaust. The bracket will include a LED light for the license plate.
    • *More info coming soon.*

6/24/08:
  • I have finally started work on a bracket for the 07.FE.v.3.0 and 07.FE.v.4.0 LED tail light. It's been known that the pressure of the body work isn't the best way to hold that in. I hope to have the design finallized in the next day or two. Then I can get one or two cut with the next batch of parts from the waterjet shop. I will post pics and more info soon.
  • For those that have purchased a 07.FE.v.4.0 kit and would like a bracket, please let me know. There will be a minimal cost, but I don't know how much yet. Let me get a few of these done and see how it works out.
  • I'm still working out the material. I could use stainless steel, like I use for everything else. Or I could use mild steel and shoot it with a quick rattle can paint job to keep the cost down. I will have to look into the difference in material and fabrication costs. Stay tuned.
5/9/08:
  • Ok, here are the pics of the Stock Fender Brackets test fit to some scrap tubing.
    PICS
    These are the prototype brackets, they are only tacked to the tubing. As you can see there is some adjustment for the stock fender. This will allow you to set the angle of your taillight and fender just how you want it.
    Pricing will be $30 for this option. It can be added to any finish. They will be finished the same as the outer tubes (ie. Raw, Brushed or Coated).
  • 6th Batch orders....These can be added. I did get a few sets cut. So they are available. You must let me know if you want them ASAP!
5/7/08:
  • A few more pics added to the Installed Pics page.
  • Stock Fender Brackets! I haven't had a ton of questions on this, so I haven't put much time into it lately. But I do have something to show...

Exhaust Revision Information
Current Revision: 07.v.2.0

After many hours of trying to find ways to make fabrication and assembly easier, I think I have come up with something. I have built a small prototype for the new design and it seems like it will work tons better than the existing. I have changed the end ring design completely.
I have changed the way the outer tubes attach to the inner tubes. This will make assembly much, much easier. Plus it will keep 80% of the welds hidden inside the finished exhaust. The 07.v.2.0 outer tubes will attach with small button head bolts that are radial to the outer tube centerline. In comparison to the 07.v.1.0, where the outer tubes attach with bolts parallel to the outer tube centerline.
I have kept the look of the 6 bolts inside the tips. Just in the 07.v.2.0 they can be considered "dummy" bolts. They don't actually hold anything together. The are going to be welded in on the inside. They are strickly for looks now.
The design change will not affect the price or performance of the exhaust. But, it will make other outer tube options available. I'm not saying what, just yet, but I'm working on something.
I'm sure I'll be asked....Can a 07.v.1.0 be converted to a 07.v.2.0 for the new outer tube options? YES! Yes, it can. I'm still working out the conversion cost. It won't be a free change, but I will keep it as inexpensive as I can. If the conversion is done, the 07.v.1.0 outer tubes can not be used. I'm working on finding a way to keep them usable. But for now, new outer tubes must be purchased. I'll work up a price after the next batch of exhausts. This way, I know exactly how the fabrication process will be affected by the new design.
The 07.v.1.0 has been discontinued in favor of the new end ring layout and design.
