Supersprint Manifold, Sport Cats and Exhaust

[imran]

I ordered this as soon as the car arrived. Looking forward to getting it on and releasing the V8 sound.

I will report back with sound clips and dyno data.

That looks beautifully made, are you going to do a marine ceramic coating before installing it?

Looks awesome. I am looking forward to your install and results. I ordered the Supersprint manifold last month...waiting for it to arrive. Also ordered the pipes that delete the center resonators. I am going to use the factory cats and existing Eisenmann rear exhaust on the car.

Is the marine ceramic coating recommended to minimize heat buildup?

Yes, plus it looks great and it protects the metal.

No plans to do this (and exhaust is already on the car). Its not something I've ever seen the benefit of proven especially considering the cost.

It sounds amazing. Looking forward to sharing proper video clips with you all next week.

I have some clips on my instagram if you want to check it our briefly @_imran_arshad

Wow, incredible video, and that system sounds amazing! If I lived in the UK, my car would be headed to your shop immediately.

Thanks imran - fantastic video. If my car was in the UK I’d be right over!

[Musta10000]

Imran - that’s phenomenal. WOW!

Fantastic video...really enjoyed watching the install and dyno results. I think you are doing a great service to the Z8 platform by showing how these mods can really transform the car, even 20 years later, and changing its personality from boulevard cruiser to true M car. I'm still waiting for my Supersprint headers to arrive and will be in touch for the ECU tune once installed. Also hoping that an air intake system is still being developed by you all!

[imran]

Thanks for the feedback guys. It really does sound incredible. Although this was done purely for sound the power gain is very noticeable. I haven't talked about the Bilstein MDS suspension much but I had a very good drive over this weekend and it has vastly improved the handling dynamics of the car. Really please with the way it has turned out.

Eventuri will also be developing an intake and carbon plenum cover for it. I will share details when I can. Lets see if we can get a nice induction roar too!

Any chance these will not set off a CEL or code for cats. I am in California, perfromance cats have been dicey. I would love to try this set up. But nervous I have to swap it out every 2 years. No one is really looking for EOD#s, but codes can be an issue. My C5 vette system never tossed a code and was not a problem. My C6 system, same mfg, would throw warm up codes, not ready stuff, it would not pass emissions.

Amazing! Thanks for the great video.

My Supersprint headers and catback exhaust are supposed to arrive in January. Four month lead time, can’t wait. Looking forward to the Eventuri intake development by Imran too.

My Supersprint headers and catback exhaust are supposed to arrive in April. Put me down for that Eventuri intake as well, Imran.

As reference I ordered the Supersprint headers and catback exhaust Aug 30 and am still waiting. Supposed to have shipped last week and the new shipping date has already been changed twice. The problem is the high flow cats. So don’t be surprised if it takes longer…

[2112]

Seems everything is taking forever.

[GaZ8fan]

Shipping date for the Supersprint high flow cats has been delayed again until the end of February. So at best it will be six months from the order date, two months longer than initial estimate. Really annoying. I’m going to go ahead and install the headers and exhaust next week with the stock cats for the time being.
