If it's not broken, fix it anyways

The time has almost arrived...with a lot of blood, sweat and tears on this system...

    They have arrived today. I have to inventory everything & put it on the shelf in the proper kit form. I also am going to do a test fit to make sure the final production system fits like the final R&D system.



There will be another update posted here very soon.

Okay, some sneak peeks at the RPM header with the polished S/S megaphone muffler.

The initial order has been confirmed and final signature will be required, along with a big check, on the contract they told me I would see tomorrow. The contract will also have a confirmed delivery date at which time I can advise when they will be available.

Is the muffler a baffle design or a glass pack?

I like quiet!

It is a through design muffler without baffles. The megaphone muffler is loader that the other mufflers. They are not noisy but do change the tone of the FJ to sound a lot like a current bike with a nice throaty note.

Did you Ramos' bike at the rally last year?

No, I wanted to but the social director had us on different rides. I have heard other inline 4's with Hindle megaphone's and I like
the exhaust note, quiet but throaty.

I'm saving my nipples, dimes and quarters for the EFI IPO (initial public offering) Unless you need a East Coast test pilot :dance2:
Ill send you my 92 and pick it up at next years WCR.

That kind of savings plan never even occurred to me.  :rofl:

But I myself would be keenly interested in aiding Randy in the RPM EFI development.

So that I can figure out how much time you will need to buy the system how much is a nipple worth? Must be at least a dollar!!!!

Randy - I think you found someone to crash test the EFI for you...  :lol: :rofl: :rofl2:

PS - Sorry Mike, I really tried to resist.

Okay, I am awaiting the arrival of a 89-90 bike so that I can confirm fitment and should see that bike the middle of next week.

I wanted to pass along some numbers for you to see the what the RPM system has to offer over the O.E. header.

The stock O.E. header weighs 31.6 lbs

The RPM header as listed by the differing muffler packages.

Carbon Fiber -    8.5 lbs
Titanium -          8.7 lbs
Stainless Steel - 9.9 lbs
Megaphone -      9.3 lbs.

So that is a range of 21.7-23.1 lbs saving over the stock system or 70+%

I found a video of the tone we took after mike got back from the Fall rally in 2013. So this now has more than 3000 miles on it. It is hard to get quality sound on a video...

I have run 2 different Hindle's on my FJ (4/1). The RPM pipe certainly fits much better

racerrad8

Alright, the final test fitting is done on all models of the FJ and it is now listed on the RPM website for sale; RPM S/S Exhaust System

The weights for all options are listed as well.

I am awaiting the arrival of the shipping boxes and they are supposed to be here Monday or Tuesday. Once the boxes are here they will be shipping.

Thank you again for your continued support and I am looking forward to bring more & more options to the market for the FJ.

That's stunningly nice and I can't believe how inexpensive it is especially for the upgraded carbon or it! Well done again!
