Thats what I was thinking. I just got my seat put in so the car already feels like a new car. Let alone if new tires go on as well, I dont think Id be worth a darn on new suspension too.

I'll be doing the Evo School to hopefully get a feel for this site.

From Gernby, they were pretty much the same price. Since he proved people would get in line to pay that much for an exhaust, why should Urge sell them for less? It's a piece of art, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Worth the money, IMHO. I have one of the originals.

That's a good call. There will be a lot of good instructors there. I didn't think I was going to be able to make the school, so I didn't sign up, but now I wish I had. I'll be there after the Evo school for the test and tune, though.

thanks for the feedback. that gives me some food for thought. i don't have the opportunity to let loose in my S too often, as it is my occasional weekend car, and my co-pilot (gf) usually is beside me. lol i've been getting the itch to get back into tracking, but that's doubtful. i might just pick up some OEM ap1 bars and experiment too. i have been feeling as if my rear is a bit unsettled off the gas, but i need to get some more seat time to get a good feel of things. i've changed quite a few things, incl. tires, coilovers, and alignment settings in a relatively short amount of time.


i don't really want to derail odb's thread and turn it into a debate about URGE's exhaust/business plan, but one would think that any company would want to sell more units, especially the second time around.

yes, there were a decent number of buyers when Gernby had the exhaust produced, but i really doubt URGE will do similar #s at the prices they've tentatively set. at the risk of saying too much, i am honestly really surprised at the prices, considering they're using T1R's manufacturing. while i don't think their intention was to turn the Gernzhaust into a mass produced Ebay special, business is business.

You should come out to an autocross sometime. That will at least give you an idea how the car will act at a track day. Lotus club, SpeedSF, and Trackmasters are good options to get a lot of seat time.

Nice runs. Wish i coulda hit the pro solo.
The more i watch your videos the more i want your exhaust

odb812

Thanks man, the pro solo was a blast. It's going to be hard to wait a full year to do another one.

Dude, you killed it on your last run the first day of the tour--especially considering your car was basically stock. I was pulling for you to do the same with your last run on day 2.

It was a rough time day 2 for sure. I still dont know how I missed the first gate out of the start and then I thought I was going into the grass at one point and somehow didnt take out any cones. I knew I had to let it all hang out and didnt work.
Was that Praneils first time driving your car?? If so, to him

odb812

I did the opposite and drove too conservatively all weekend.

Praneil had driven my car a few times last year with some different suspension configurations. With the current suspension setup, we each did 11 runs on a 30 second course the Sunday before the NT. He is a very talented driver, a good instructor, and he really knows how to set up a car.

Could you do me a favor and measure your exhaust tip?
Im trying to get on this URGE/Gernzhaust and want a turndown tip but I HATE how small the turndowns are on the regular t1R EM exhausts.
