This is a reply to the question regarding the longevity of the metallic cat w/ or without the airpump

"It will make no difference to the life of the cat if it’s with or without the air pump.

We have a cat section running on our test car it is a MRMSC3, no air pump, it has done 24,000 km (approx15,000mls)so far and not a sign of any problems. Another friend has a completely stock vehicle except the exhaust (so he runs an airpump) he has done similar miles and also no problems."

are you serious?

how does rb compare to smb

mdude

I will get some sound slips and dyno numbers soon. But like i said in my previous posts i prefer the smb's twin tip design over the rb dual.

The SMB unit is fully polished high quality one piece exhaust, material and quality wise, SMB units are much more superior than RB. Performance wise, SMB should meet or even exceed RB unit because of their long time experience in producing quality exhaust systems. Sound wise, that would be a personal preference, you might like RB sound more than SMB or the other way around. Anyways, as soon as we get the info directly from Grant, we will post them.

Interested in the METALLIC SUBSTRATE CONVERTER WITH MUFFLER 3” - MRMSC3M
Can I get it WITH the air pump connection? I need it to pass emissions.
Also need shipping cost to WA 98281.

mdude

yeah you can get it with the air pump connection. The one on my car currently has a connection for the airpump. Cost of shipping will be posted by Kevin in a few days. I will find out if there is any change in price.

Okay, sounds good!

I am trying to decide between the MRMSC3M and MRMSC3... :S

I can get some sound clips of my car with a dp, metallic cat with muffler, and rb dual tip. I actually need to get rid of the rb dual tip and get an smb twin tip. SMB all the way.

How much you want for that RB? Any who that is cool it ends 6/1 since it will definitly give me time to get money together

mdude

I was thinking about selling it for 420 shipped. I already have a buyer but if he falls through you can be next in line.

Here are the dimensions for the twin tips

The tips are 3” outside dia x 2 ½” inside diameter

I had ordered the MRMSC3M last week. I forgot to mention that I need the air pump inlet.

mdude

No problem Julian, i will let Grant know.

Yea let me know i might jump on that. If it does fall through can i see some pics? I might go SMB if it is quite enough it looks like a nicer piece. Waiting for those sound clips to make my choice.

mdude

There will be no difference in price with the air pump attachment. I am almost positive the twin tip will be quiet like the rb dual tip since Grant is all about trying to keep the noise level down. I am calling him tomorrow to get an update.

mdude

Regarding the noise transmitted by the smb twin tip

"You can be safe in assuring people that the twin tip muffler is quiet like the racing beat one, and that ours won’t restrict the exhaust flow."

Any idea on shipping times?

and how loud is the dolphin tip? Whats the cost on the 3 1/2?

mdude

Once the GB is over it should take Grant 4-5 weeks to make the pieces and have them shipped over from Australia. That is a conservative estimate.

Just a reminder that this GB is ending soon in 3 weeks and the low prices offered in this introductory GB will NOT happen again in the future.
