Default Tony's DP still around

Hey guys I haven't been on here in a while. Was just wondering if Tony that was doing the downpipes for the greddy kit was still around and how I might be able to contact him? Thanks.

instead of tracking down Tony, you could give BEGi a call....

Was looking to get a DP flange from him. I had talked with him before about a stainless flange but I lost his contact info.

begi is still working on the downpipe. I sent in my greddy kit for them to use in R&D, that was about a month ago. I haven't heard from them since they got it, my guess is they are very busy with all the projects. patience though, I am sure it will be an awesome piece.

Tony is still around, just email him, he's a busy man so it may take a few days for a reply. I plan on getting one from him because I can't justify spending so much unless it is proven with numbers that there is a large difference in spool between his and the Begi piece.

How universal are his pipes or are they for specific manifolds and turbos?

wonder why he (or anyone else) never thought to come up with a manny and DP to fit the greddy kit to a 94-97 or a 99+. With all the threads on here and m.net you know there is a market.

****. I'm really not looking forward to attempting fabrication of a downpipe for my 95.

I would imagine the are using the kit on a test mule car to build the proto-type. Then from that build a jig for production.

I called BEGI 2 days ago, was told Stephanie would call or email me, yet still I wait. I emailed Stephanie 2 am this morning, still no response. I placed my order back in September, and was promised a November delivery. I respect the fact they want to produce a high quality part, and this takes time. There customer service is second to none, and I have always been well treated when ever I called. There reaches a point when one can wait no more, I am at that point. If I receive no response by COB today, I will order the tubing to construct my own DP. Had I known I would be state side this long, I would have already constructed a new exhaust system.

After a slight adjustment I was able to get it to stop rattling. His placement of the slip joint was in a less than ideal location, it should have been further down stream.
