Less than a minute in, we see this typical cheap bullshit waiting to fall apart. The OEM spring and shoulder bolt are necessary parts of a functional assembly because the front pipe, being fastened to the transmission, is supposed to articulate around that spherical joint. Duh!

Well there we go then!

You got one you got? Ace Laguna 90 or 100 series?

Mine had little issues but is a beta unit. I had to cut the corners out of the bracket on the garnish because they were chafing against the merge pipes.

It doesn't make a sound. In fact I am pretty sure it is running in negative decibels that actually cancels out noises within 20 feet of the car. A Telsa is louder.

Not sure it’ll be the same even after Type-A 350

good concept but not so good on execution ?

churchx · 05-05-2018, 07:01 PM

Maybe it won't melt. I'm sure they did some testing prior releasing. But it doesn't look like manufacturer designed it to prevent bumper melting unlike Ace's. I've seen my share of burnt/melted bumpers both in vids and IRL. Prior considering purchase (won't due muffler delete loudness wise) i'd wish something more ensuring that everything is done to prevent potential bumper melting during high-rpm/temps abuse on track.

Center exhaust is mad sexy if done right

just think how silly it would look for a company called ft86 speedfactory to make something that didn't play nice with the ft86 platform

hater pipe

Roadcone · 05-07-2018, 01:57 PM

this is for the people who think the buddy club exhaust sounds good and that the ft86sf hater pipe is a good idea.

100% this would cause all sorts of havok and melt the rear bumper if you attempted to track it. standard exhausts melt the rear bumper when they barely touch it at times. this will most def destroy it lol

The actual company name is JB (Jeremy Boysen) Autosports Inc.

"FT86 SpeedFactory" is a website that they launched back when the platform was taking off. They've done the same in the past for other cars.
