Went down TF yesterday, mid-pipe looks great, even better when polished.

Great news guys we have a 165 coming to test fit tomorrow, so we can confirm if this midpipe is going to fit on a 165.

Alright perfect! I was under the assumption that they were just waiting to ship so I'm glad to hear they're almost ready to go. Thanks!

I'm happy that all trac specific exhaust parts are being made, though I'm still wondering about the price. Is this price about normal for a 3" mid pipe?

I went custom for less, if you need a cat it seems like a pretty good price though.

Was there a dyno video hiding somewhere? Maybe I missed it. I thought that I saw someone say they were going to put it up. I'd just love to hear the midpipe in action at some higher rpm's. Very well done on the fab and props for getting someone to go through with the production of these. Forged/Trackforged, welcome to the ST185 family :D

I only got a video with my cell phone so the sound is completely distorted and you can't here anything. I will check with Sentra and TF since I know there was a guy there taking video, but not sure how the sound turned out.

Well, that's the problem, what are you going to cross-shop it with? No one else makes them for any price...So Trackforged can kind of charge what they want as long as they don't price themselves out of the market.

Well I looked at it this way: People pay 600-800 just for quality, brand-name cat backs (including me), so it seems pretty reasonable to charge around that for a custom made mid-pipe! I'm under the assumption that the mid-pipe is just as big of an exhaust component as the cat-back and since it is being hand-made by TrackForged I am more than happy to pay up :)
