A long time customer of mine from FL sent us his car recently sent us his track car (MP412c) Over time, the tips kept retaining too much heat and melted the bumper. He also wanted us to retune the car, there are intermittent CEL's, and in his words "the car just doesn't feel like it's at 100% power). Fast forward to a month ago, and I was arranging transport to get the car up here for an exhaust re-design and a real, dyno tune.
With the car apart, I wanted to share pictures of what we are doing. The new exhaust is being built from 321 stainless (a titanium, stainless blend) which has EXCELLENT heat performance. Once the exhaust was taken off we notices there is coolant EVERYWHERE. The coolant reservoir is TINY for the amount of power the car is making, and with the owner hot-lapping the car in some seriously hot temps (Orlando, FL), that really isn't a huge surprise. Now the plan has evolved from a simple exhaust and tune, to exhaust, tune, and a larger (roughly 2x bigger) aluminum coolant reservoir that shouldn't have any problem overflowing in the hot FL weather during hot laps.
I will keep the thread updated with pictures and video! As always, any pictures... please do not hesitate to call, email, post here, etc.
all the pretty 321
Coolant everywhere

Anything for 993tt? I know you had some setups with the old company.
not yet, we just did a full titanium setup on a 993 RWB car though. A turbo would be easy, unfortunately we would need either a car or stock exhaust to mock it up on.
Did I see a little flame in the beginning of the video?Just bought a 991 turbo 2016!!

hey Mike, there is flames all throughout the video!

I saw it in person at the unveiling, and it looked AMAZING.
we actually won Peoples Choice (I think it was) with the new GT3 we brought. the 12c we also brought was parked two cars down from you at the top of the steps. I wanted to introduce myself but by the time we got up there to pick up the McLaren, you were gone. Next time!

Thanks everyone. It sounds phenomenal in person. Porsche in general are hard to get sounding good because if the engine, it isn't some huge V8 you can throw straight pipes on and get an awesome sound out of.. It's more like a Subaru motor I guess.

I hope it isn't an issue posting this in here, but yesterday we wrapped up our 991 Porsche Turbo and Turbo-S system, and I wanted to share the end product with you guys.
The entire system was made by hand by Mike, my fabricator. The entire system is made up of 86 pieces, cut and welded in house. The tubing we source from a US company called RMI. It is 3", .030 wall CP2 (grade 2), with two 3" resonators/mufflers. The flanges I have waterjet from 6AL .5" titanium flat stock. The stock exhaust that we took off weighed 58.5lb, our ENTIRE system (tips, clamps, flanges, everything) weighed 10.5lb. The exhaust sounds AMAZING. Because we did away with the catalytic converters, I was worried about drone, and am happy to announce there is NONE! This really is one of the best sounding aftermarket exhausts I think I have ever heard.
if anyone is interested in one for their TT/TT-S, I Would love to extend special pricing to forum members.
Holding up with one finger!

Wow, that M5 tune is impressive.
you should drive one! That and the Ghibli are absolutely insane!

I know how much some of you guys like dyno's, so I figured I would post these up. They were tuned by us and our tuning partner. All were bench flashes rather than piggy back tunes

Like the title says, I was getting some of our graphs together since they are all over my desktop, and I figured I would post a few here for you guys to review. Any question, please do not hesitate to ask!
If anyone is interested in tunes, I will offer you all as forum members excellent pricing as well (we are already priced EXTREMELY competitively) . We have files for most exotic and luxury cars on the market. If you would like pricing or more information, please call/text/email/carrier pigeon/post here.

Thank you all for the warm welcome everyone! I should have some exciting updates today or tomorrow.

Hi guys!
I'm not sure if you all remember me (I'm sure some do). Last December I left the exhaust company I had been with for 4 or 5 years to venture out on my own. It has been an incredibly long process (as many of you know), but we are finally up and running, and I thought it would be the perfect time to join my old favorite forum as a vendor, and try and reconnect with you guys.
My new company is called Regent Performance Group. We are located in Warminster Pennsylvania (about 30 minutes outside Philadelphia) and specialize in titanium, inconel, and 321 stainless exhausts for exotics, some motorcycles, etc. Everything is done 100% in house by Mike my fabricator (who is a Cali. transplant, and the old lead fabricator from HG motorsports in SD [whiteout knows him!]). Additionally I have teamed up with Matt Bekam, the lead tuner of GSR Technik Tuning (formerly Jailbreak Tuning, in Socal.) Matt is the former lead tuner from Brabus and Weistec, so his Mercedes and BMW tunes are absolutely incredible, however we also have tunes for nearly the entire Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. Lineup, which are also VERY impressive.. We have an actual bench flash for the McLarens (not a piggyback), and we have files written specifically for our exhausts (which I am pretty excited about haha).
In addition to tuning and exhausts, I still have accounts with all the usual suspects for wheels, tires, body kits, etc. and have teamed up with some REALLY talented guys stateside that do custom carbon fiber (see the Range Rover below). I have attached a few pictures of some of the jobs we have done, the shop, etc. It is still a work in progress, but it's getting there (please excuse the shop floors.. they are on the list and bother me like you wouldn't believe!)
shop bike! (Pikes Peak edition Multistrada... if you dont know what it is, imagine a superbike motor on a dirt bike
)
front office, just got done putting the wood floors down and painting a few weeks ago.. It's small but suits us perfectly for now. (The waiting area is in the room behind it)
first round of cars.
V10 R8 in for a major service and ECU tuning. Exhaust will be this winter.
991 GT3 center muffler Bypass from 321 Stainless (the owner is a big racing fan, so we aimed for some throwback race car style tips.. I cant put my finger on what car they look like they're from, but he loves them!)
We actually took the GT3 to Supercars on State Street in Harrisburg and won the peoples choice award
it sounds AMAZING (I will post a video tomorrow), It's coming back with it's Mclaren sibling to stay for the winter, and we should have some cool projects in store for you guys on both of them.
the black 993 below is a 50k original mile car that came to us for a full Titanium exhaust (minus headers, it'll also be back this winter for them). It's leaving here and heading to the paint shop for a full glass out respray and RWB kit. I will post pictures when it comes back, post kit/wheels etc. We will be finishing up the exhaust tomorrow and I will get videos. So far it weighs under 4lb with the resonators, flanges, etc. It's pretty crazy.
the 991 Turbo-S is next. That is also getting a full Titanium exhaust, tune, and possibly some wheels. We will be starting that next week.
Another project that is nearly complete, that some of you guys may be interested in is a Range Rover we are doing. The customer bought the truck new (2015 RR Sport S/C) without all of the carbon fiber options from the factory because of the price (something like $15,000+, I think she said). I picked up the truck, figured out which pieces she wanted done in carbon, purchased them all new from the dealer (so she would still have the original ones that came on the truck), and sent them to my guy in California. The trailer hitch cover showed up today, and to me, it looks as good as OEM for a TINY fraction of the price (he makes sure the weave is all flowing the same direction, doesnt black out the edges, seams in places you cant see.. He's very thoughtful and thorough with how he does his job, which I really can appreciate)
This is her truck with the new, replacement parts (all 6 door blades, hood and fender vents, front grill, tow hitch cover, rear tailgate trim, and we are doing the spoiler next).
Pictures sent from my carbon guy, they will be here Monday.
I stopped at her house today to put the hitch cover on.
I will update with more pictures Monday or Tuesday.
If anyone has any questions for me, please don't hesitate to call, email, post here, text me, whatever, WHENEVER, is easiest for you. My goal for this company will make sense to those of you that have worked with me in the past:
"We make the absolute highest quality product, by hand, from exotic, U.S.-sourced, aerospace grade material, in small batches, at a fair price. if I can make a decent living, take care of my employees, and have a ton of fun, consider me happy. My main focus in the past has been customer service, and that hasn't changed. All that has changed is I am now in charge, so I can ensure everything is 110% the way I expect it to be before it leaves my building. We only team up with honest, quality partners (my carbon fiber guy, Matt my tuner, etc) so that the will not be any corners cut anywhere with anything we do.
I really do look forward to becoming a part of the community again, and have a few projects I am trying to line up that you guys will love! ::cough:: ::cough:: Inconel murci headers ::cough:: ::cough::

we have had a ton of projects in the works, but finally made some progress on the McLaren. The 321 x-pipe is done, satellite foil down, just need to make the tips and we are well on our way!
