Downpipes for Flex/SHO/Explorer V6 Ecoboost/Lincoln MKT/MKS

[EcoPowerParts]

I finally received confirmation on the downpipe pricing from PPE Engineering.
These pipes are 2.5" 304 Stainless steel they will be offered with and without cats.
Introductory pricing will be $800 for cats and $600 for non-cat pipes.
Here's the way it will work from Paul@PPE:
Instead of doing a traditional group buy, I think we should just offer an introductory price for a set period of time. 20% off MSRP for 3 weeks, then at the end of the 3 weeks we will build all the orders taken. $100 non-refundable deposit when the order is taken and the rest due when the parts are ready.

It’s kind of like a group buy but people won’t wait on the side lines for others to get in first.

These downpipes will be completely tig welded and finished inside the flanges as oppossed to the "other pipes" which are mig welded with unfinished inside the flanges.

There will be a page on their site this weekend for pre-orders to be taken:

I will post pics next week of the first set completed that are black coated.
If you have any questions please contact Paul Prentis

Is the group price the $800. & $600., or is the early price 20% off those numbers?

Any idea on a time frame when the 1st batch will be completed? Debating on ordering a set from Livernois. But $800 vs $1,000 might be worth waiting for.

Video of the 1st production set of downpipes. Car get's dyno'd pre/post pipe installation tomorrow. Pictures will be taken today/tomorrow. These are uncoated pipes for me to test per my request, helps you see them better anyhow.

[SHOtyme3pt0]

Awesome!! Can't wait for the dyno results.

 

[SHOtyme3pt0]

Are the flex pipes going to be on the production versions? They look like they might be a bit restictive on the inside. I guess the dyno will tell.

Yes, have to have them in there like the stockers, remember these are 2.5" vs the TINY stockers seen here

 

[EcoPowerParts]

Here's a screen crapture of the video I took today, looks like the inside of the flex pipe is the same ID as the 2.5" hard pipe.

 

[SHOtyme3pt0]

I was just comparing your images with the Livernois images. That's why I asked about the flex pipe. The flex pipe generally has ribs on the inside. Not sure how that will affect exhaust flow though. But if they pick up 20 horsepower, it doesn't matter if you you use Trojan Magnums.

Thanks for the update on the DP.

Looking forward to Dyno numbers.

Here's Livernois downpipes:

Take a look at the video, they look like the same flex pipe to me....
Just saying.

 

[SHOtyme3pt0]

Hmm, son of a *****.

The pictures on their site are a bit deceiving then.

Well , like you said, the extra diameter of trhe pipe should more than make up for any minor restrictions.
