Pre-Buy/Group Buy on VelocityAP Sport Cat & Decat Downpipes
Hello Everyone,
We have now gone into production with these parts. Fitment has been confirmed on all but the AWD cars - a slight difference in O2 sensor location on the Passenger side, and a slightly different route for the rear of the pipe for these cars. We have since been able to design for the revised locations on the AWD, and the AWD parts will be going into production shortly as well, once the CNC bending program has been completed by our Mandrel bending supplier.
For the non-AWD cars, we should have a production run of 50 pieces completed and ready for shipment in around 4-5 weeks. The 200 Cell cat versions will have a slightly larger catalyst brick than the images shown.
We are offering these parts for the next on a 'pre-buy' special for the first 10 pieces, $950, down from $1295 for the 200 Cell Versions, and $650 down from $895 for the Decat versions.
I should have V8 & V6 sound clips shortly. Based on similar projects with Aston's engines which we have dyno tested, I would expect to see gains IRO 15-18BHP on V6 Engines, and upwards of 20BHP on V8 Engines. For those of you that already like the tone of your exhaust or like the active exhaust option, but want more power & sound this is a great way to go!
If you would like to place an order at the discounted price, email me at Stuart@VelocityAP.com to reserve a set before they are all gone
I am in for some LT headers to go with my future tune....I'll save my money for those assuming you guys will head down that path. The down pipes look really good I've got to say. If Velocity won't produce LT headers, then I'll buy a set of the pipes.
I'm interested to see dyno numbers with the 200 cell Cats on a tuned R when available.
Plan is to have a car in here within the next month or so. The question is whether there's enough room in there to design something that A.) Achieves Power increases and B.) Can be built at an appropriate price.
I'm confident we'll see some gains if there is enough room to fit something in. We put our V8 Vantage Headers on a customer's supercharged Vantage and he picked up 34RWHP and 33RWTQ. Mind you, that car was then making 584HP at the rear wheels so output was a bit higher than even an F-Type R, but.... that was also already equipped with high flow cats, arguably an F-Type header which includes a cat delete or high flow cat downpipe could net you similar.

You will probably have a V8 in there for the first iteration. Keep in mind, if insufficient space in the V8, there might be enough in the V6. A number of us with the V6 are just as hungry for additional safe power as others are for the V8.
The external dimensions of the V6 and V8 are identical as is the trannie and everything else under there. There should be no difference in available space.

It is a 2015 2WD R. But, bear in mind, since the engine block is the same, mounted in the same location, and with the same downpipe fitment as the 2WD V6, we can design a V8 header/downpipe, take the header section off and build a V6 header by disregarding the rear two exhaust ports.

I assumed that the inference wasn't that there was less space available, more so that there's 4 primaries to fit into that space as opposed to 3.
What impact does fitting these have on emissions etc? Will it pose any problems for legality on emissions checks? For the cat version. I assume the decat version is definitely illegal.

I think that depends highly upon your local laws. Some jurisdictions the decats would be legal but many will not. The 200 cell versions are a possibility. As an example, we have had many customers with Astons pass California emissions (although these cats don't have a CARB number) with our 200 cell cats for those cars.
We also have had V12 Astons pass UK MOT after removal of 4 primary & 2 secondary cats and replacement with our headers & sport units. So it really depends on what the local testing procedures include, but it can be feasible.

just because you have more room to fit your headers (and make more weedy power lol), than us V8ers!
