$99. Introductory Price! L-Body 3" Cat Back Exhaust System Kits

[Chris W]

No one likes the unexpected expense of exhaust shop modifications for a kit that should be a "Bolt-In" out of the box. Our goal at TU was to make these kits easy enough for anyone to install with just basic tools. Rather then duplicating existing 3" Aluminized cat back kits on the market we chose to start from scratch with our own designs to provide a Tru-Fit exhaust. The pipes included in these kits are aluminized and mandrel bent. Our L-Body versions will be ready to ship once we return from Carlisle and SDAC.

We are offering these kits at an introductory price of $99. each. We hope to have samples with us at Chryslers at Carlisle next week and SDAC in Topeka.

Look forward to more great deals on 3" Mandrel bent cat back systems as we expand our exhaust inventory to include all of the popular T-D vehicles.

Thanks for your continued support!

When will you start taking orders for these Chris, and whats the ballpark shipping cost?

[Frank]

Damn, at that price I want one and I dont even have an L-body!!!! LOL.

[85shelbycharger]

I've put off buying an exhaust for 2 years now since I started driving my Charger. Just my luck not though, I just ordered a 2.5 inch system from the other company literally 3 days ago.......:( and now this system is out!

[GLHSKEN]

LOL patrick has a "small exhaust"... hehehe

[tryingbe]

I would have brought one if I didn't have my 3 inch exhaust made and put on already.

[Frank]

We will be taking orders in the next couple of days. Just keep checking our site in the new products section. We haven't decided how long this introductory offer will last. As far as shipping goes, it will probably run $20-$30. depending on which part of the country you are in.

Post some pictures please. I've been thinking about getting rid of my side exit. It's hard on your left ear.

[Directconnection]

I know what ya mean! We may want to buy a couple just in case the day comes that we decide to own an L-body.

Well... if it's not too late... you could possibly cancel the order, and use the $ on other products from that vendor. I don't think "they" would mind too much. You're spending the same amout of cash with them, right?

[denviola]

If you have any ready for SDAC, I will buy one or two sets there.
Any chance to get one at Carlisle so it can be on the car at SDAC?

[altered7151]

Please put me down for one Chris, I'll fill everything out on the site when they pop up. Thanks!!

[87glhs232]

I don't want to put words in Chris' mouth, but pics arent available yet. I called him as soon as I logged on this afternoon and saw his post (CC in hand LOL). I don't think the demo's for the shows have even rolled out yet.
Chris- you know you can put me down for one when you get back from the shows. Hopefully you'll still have a 3" SV available too ;)

[Clay]

Put me down for one most definatley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was going to go all 2.5", but what the heck, Ill do 3" "cat" back for now, and 3" cat forward later!

[tryingbe]

So Josh, is your GLHS running yet?

[87glhs232]

So Josh, is your GLHS running yet?
Motor is ready to drop in. Suspension and brake components are ready. Just waiting for the temp to drop a bit (been over 100* for several days....yeah I know big wup to you in Sun City :D ) I'm a wus. It should be running this weekend and aligned on Monday or Tuesday. Hope that tranny holds a while while I save some cash and order a 555 Cliff R. hybrid with all the trimmings. I'll bring it out in a couple weeks and stop by. I want to get in a run or two on Chris' dyno :thumb: if it's ready. He said they had dropped it off Friday and were in the process of installing it.
When it's done I'll post up what all was done. I have a new parts list thats a page and 3/4 long :eyebrows: . Nothing real special, but It's going to be solid and reliable.

[tryingbe]

100 degree? You're lucky. It's 93 degree here at 7:10am!

Dyno is ready huh? Nice. Too bad I still have some bugs to work out on the GLH first before I can run it. Wouldn't want to get tranny oil all over the new dyno now. *stupid input shaft seal.*

[mcsvt]

I also wish I had an L-Body. If you ever do it for G-Body then I am in :D

[cordes]

Wow Chris this is awesome. I was just getting ready to cobble up a side exit. I am down for sure.

[contraption22]

Does it come with hangers? I'm sure it doesnt come with a muffler for that price, right?

[beavis1313]

I think I will have to get one

[BadAssPerformance]

I like to fab up my own exhaust, but I gotta say, great deal! :thumb:

[altered7151]

I like to fab up my own exhaust, but I gotta say, great deal! :thumb:

I was going to do the same thing, but figure it'll cost you $60 for the 3" builder kit, so for an extra $40 someone has already put it together for you. Thats alot of labor and frustration saved for $40!

[Chris W]

Does it come with hangers? I'm sure it doesnt come with a muffler for that price, right?

They will not be included with the mandrel bent pipes at that introductory price, but, the hangers and mufflers will be offered as an option. Since some customers may already have those items it would be redundant to include them in with the kit. Offering those items separate will help keep the cost of the exhaust pipes lower. :thumb:

Awesome deal Chris. I look forward to seeing it next weekend. If you have one with you I might have to get it. I love my side exit, but not so much on the hour-long drive home from Cecil!

[85_600]

Any chance of getting one for a Dodge 600? :o

I'm interested. Need to see pics.

yea whats up?...id order 2 with some pics (poss. installed?) and an update

[Chris W]

Right now we are prioritizing getting orders out. Once we are caught up I will be getting with my vendor on the exhaust pipes. I'm sure they have been completed by now so it will just be a matter of picking them up.

Thanks for your patience,

Chris-TU

[Clay]

any updates?

[Chris W]

Clay,

The first sample we received required some tweaking so we sent it back to our vendor and requested the necessary changes. Squeezing the large exhaust into the small L-Body is quite a challenge. We expect our second sample this week and we will follow up with our test results.

Chris-TU

[Clay]

Sweet!! Getting closer then! :)

[supercrackerbox]

So does that mean the offer is still available then? 'Cuz I just happen to have come accross an L-body that needs exhaust! And a PB front motor mount while I'm at it!

[Chris W]

Absolutely! We will post when they are ready for release.

Cool, expect a call from me in the near future.

[Chris W]

The owner of the company will be dropping the second sample off at our facility on Monday. He said something about using our dyno for comparisons of all their products. If we strike up a deal the $99. price may be a permanent one.:thumb:

Chris-TU

[supercrackerbox]

Rock! If I wasn't half way accross the country, i'd be more than willing to let you use my car for test fitting . . . :D

Quick question- I've got one of your downpipes already. With this catback system, will you also have available a 'test pipe' that will clear the L-body shifter?

[W.P._Turbocars]

Also interested. Needing to update Rampage now that it's a turbo :)

[ikknown]

i am in need of an exhuast please let me know also

[Austrian Dodge]

What I know it's finished, just some testing needs to be done!

Hang in there guys, it's worth it. Seen it in person!

[Chris W]

I was informed by my supplier that the L-Body kits are ready to pick up. They will be up on our website very soon. We are still working with our supplier to keep our costs lower by exchanging dyno time for a bigger discount. Since nothing has been set in stone as of yet we are only going to be offering a limited amount of kits at $99. each. Andy can confirm that these L-Body kits were designed extremely well to simplify installation and to reduce the chance of contact with the undercarriage. Andy, could you re-post those pics you took?

G-Body kits are in the works and we will obtain a status report when we pick up the L-Body kits.

Thanks!

Chris-TU

[mcsvt]

G-body kit for me :) I would offer my car for fitment but I am way to far away.

Thanks for the update :thumb:

[Austrian Dodge]

yep, the fitment is great, i can confirm that!! :thumb:

i somehow have problems to upload the pics, so i will attach them to this post.

You kidding right? These shipping companies love to look at you weird and then get greedy when shipping things like pipes that are long and have huge bends.

I can see it.

[altered7151]

Yeah it'll be oversized with UPS, and 40 sounds about right for IN, it was like $27 to get to me just up in Nevada.

Absolutely. One of the cheaper places by me did a full 3" madrel exhaust on both my old Omni and the Charger and they were both $300.

Just got home and my kit was sitting there waiting for me. Looks really nice. I'm gonna run up to summit and get a piece if 3" tubing and try to get it in tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll let you guys know how it fits. :thumb:

[Clay]

and take some pics!!!!!!

[altered7151]

Got the exhaust on and welded up yesterday. I was really impressed with the fitment, I was fully prepared to have to do some modifications on it to make it fit well and didn't have to touch it. I'd heard stories about some of the other kits out there having to be hacked up and reweld to fit right, and thats definitally not the case. I didn't even need to move the tank over where the exhaust passes over the axle, just wrapped it with some exhaust insulation tape and its good to go. And all the stock hangers fit with no problem. Even with fabricating a downpipe and installing a muffler with a hanger it still only took me about 4 hours to get it in and tested. Good stuff!

[Clay]

pics?!??!1

[altered7151]

I'll get some pics this evening. The batteries in my camera were dead, and by the time they were charged I was too lazy to go out and get pictures.

[Marcus86GLHS]

"....... I was fully prepared to have to do some modifications on it to make it fit well and didn't have to touch it........."



well looks like Chris and his team have done it again by addressing a prob the L-body community was seeing with other vendor's 3" catbacks, thanx TU!


if i didnt already have a 3" system i'd be sending in my TU order today.


someone please get your butt in gear and post pix of an install.

[altered7151]

Alright kiddies, here's the pics of the exhaust installed. If you have any particular request for pics let me know, but these pretty much cover it.

I welded everything up, except where the two cat-back pieces meet. This way I can pull the rear piece with the muffer completely out if need be later down the road. I bought a magnaflow 3" stainless muffler and it definitally sounds nice, pretty mellow at idle and cruising, but you can definitally hear it when you get into it. Passed a county sheriff last night doing about 45 and he didn't even raise his head to look at me.

[Clay]

Looks GOOD! Thanks for the pics! I just have a couple of quick questions for ya.

I. How much room do you have to "make up" between the down pipe, and the start of the exhaust?

II. Is the room between the downpipe and the exhaust to put a muffler?

III. How far out the back does the exhaust go?? I mean would someone have to add a piece of pipe to get it out the back of the car? I would probably just put a turn down on it, but just trying to figure out what I need before I get mine.

thanks!
clay

[altered7151]

I. If you look at the 4th picture you can see a weld right in front of the hangar, thats where the cat-back piece starts, I fabbed everything forward of that.
Its a good 3' at between the downpipe and the cat-back. I have a custom downpipe and bend to get it in the middle of the car, and it was 29" from the cat-back to my downpipe, If you get a 4' piece of tubing you should be fine, might want to measure and double check though.

II. Tons of room, especially if you aren't running a cat. A bullet or round muffler would fit nicely

III. You wont have to add any pipe to get it out the back of the car. I whacked off a pretty good size piece when I put the muffler on. If I remember correctly, you'll probably actually end up taking some off because it ran past the bumper pretty far and looked goofy. So there's plenty of room there to do what you want.

[Frank]

Ya Magnaflows sound awesome!! Seems like the main pipe sits a little low. Are you running a TBI manifold or something that would cause that?

[altered7151]

Ya Magnaflows sound awesome!! Seems like the main pipe sits a little low. Are you running a TBI manifold or something that would cause that?

Actually I bought the Magnaflow on your recommendation Frank, I searched some of the old threads and your posts kept popping up about them, and I agree is sounds great. The Pipe is just a tad lower than stock, I have a custom 3" stainless swingvalve off of a ford .63 exhaust housing. Its really not all that low, the pictures just make it look that way. I jacked the --- end way up in the air to get some pictures, so the angle makes it look really low.

[Clay]

is it just a 'regular' old magnaflow muffler??

[Frank]

Ya I love the no drone, but rich of sound when in the boost that the magnaflow has. It gets rid of that raw metal on metal sound. Clean.

Im pretty sure being a cat back this system wont come close to the rod shifter and linkage. BUT what ever you have there (next to the rod shifter) may, so its up to you to make sure its out of the way.

[contraption22]

Just thought I would post a note. I got a 3" exhaust for the Contraption for Christmas yesterday. What a quality piece! Can't wait to put it on. I'll probably order a new donut first, and put my 3" swingvalve on at the same time.
