evofusion site updated

[importspeed]

I have just visited the evofusion site, in regards to the 01-06 Elantra catback exhaust. There is a new second paragraph on the page stating that the exhaust has just finished production,and should be in their store by the end of this month (April?). the $100 off prebuy special still stands. Most important though is a picture of the exhaust,still laying in an opened cardboard box,There are some changes from the old system. First, the centerpipe section is now in two pieces; the part that replaces the resonator, and the offset section that goes to the axle. Second, as stated before the muffler is now an oval type with an offset inlet and a center outlet,judging from the pics it looks like they lengthened the hangers to allow for installation without having to notch the bumper shell. also the tip is smaller and oval in shape. I have been really tossed on the idea of ordering the system vs going to a custom exhaust shop, I am not to happy with the new two section centerpipe,that adds one more flange joint that could possibly leak and reduces the solidity of the pipe vs the old design with a one piece centerpipe.

[tharptroy]

dont worry about the 2 section center pipe man. those 2 bolt flanges can take tons more abuse than your exhaust will ever see (unless you try and tow a trailer by your exhaust).

the fab work really is top-notch on the evo-fusion exhaust I've seen.

:mad: Damn that,s how I was going to attach a Class IV box hitch on my car :hand:

Here,s the update. I cant stand it, I went ahead and ordered the EF "new" catback today. I just hope that they havent accepted more pre-orders than they have available exhausts to ship... will post asa I get the system in my hands.

[tharptroy]

good, hopefully you'll get it. if you're looking for a better place to attatch that trailer, just take a hole saw to the bumper =P

[ExemptedNut]

does anyone know the actual gains on hp and torque from this exhausts? The site states over 20 hp and 25 ft lbs which can not be anywhere near accurate, jsut wondering if anyone knows actual numbers

[tharptroy]

look in the archives, i posted a before and after dyno graph in one of the stickied threads.

something like 7whp and 7lb-ft

[02_Elantra]

i am wondering if that new muffler section would fit on the old center pipe? by what i saw in the picture it looks close

[SilverElantra]

whenever someone gets pics of this exhaust on their elantra 4 door lemme know cause i was debating this exhaust for my birthday...in july...if not sooner.

[Vampyrate]

my bday is at the end of june (the 27th) and i too am debating this

[SilverElantra]

well ill prolly have my parents and grandparents purchase the exhaust together and ill pay shipping cause its prolly gonna be 400 by july...unless they get it for me early.

[importspeed]

I Just made a call to Evofusion to check on the status of the Exhaust system, The guy told me that they do not have a exact date that they will recieve the shipment from EF Korea, he did say that as soon as they recieve them, which could be a couple of weeks, they will send an e-mail to all who have pre-ordered to comfirm that the exhausts are in, at which point the EF website will be updated and the price will then increase. So for those who are stil thinking this over, you may have a few weeks left to get in on the pre-buy price deal. I got mine reserved.

[Raydee]

Will this be a direct fit or will some modding need to be done. I know on the site it says direct fit but then again most aftermarket parts say that and its hardly ever true.

[Vampyrate]

its a bolt on direct fit... i know the previous generation exhaust needed to have the bumper cut, but i dont know about this one, from the pics, it may not be needed

[SilverElantra]

ok i have to say i broke down and bought the exhaust...at $330 its a friggin steal...couldnt pass up the pre-buy...hopefully for once they can get on the ball and get these things shipped out to us fairly quickly.

[Cypher]

its a bolt on direct fit... i know the previous generation exhaust needed to have the bumper cut, but i dont know about this one, from the pics, it may not be needed

the bumper didn't really NEED to be cut. if you just let it stay there it'd melt away some of the bumper and then you wouldn't have to think about it.

[SilverElantra]

well if it doesnt fit all you do is take it to an exhaust shop to put minor extensions on the hangers for a few buckds and then you dont have to worry about a thing.

[Raydee]

I am going to pre-order my cat back tonight.

[SilverElantra]

Well see the thing is they said by the end of the month....without stating which month...and it is the end of April so im wondering if they will have them shippe out to us by the middle of march or we are going to have to wait longer.

[Vampyrate]

they changed the site back in december to say that

[importspeed]

Well see the thing is they said by the end of the month....without stating which month...and it is the end of April so im wondering if they will have them shippe out to us by the middle of march or we are going to have to wait longer.

I sent Evofusion an e-mail asking for updated info on the exhausts, They replied on 4-28-06 stating that the exhausts should arrive in 2.5 weeks,and immediate shipping of preorders will begin, shipping will be through DHL.

[snova44]

do you think it is safe to order from this place??? A lot of people have had trouble with LOOOONG waits for shipping from them.

[Vampyrate]

i used to live in marietta....


but anyway, the main reason for the wait is that they are getting stuff from their factory in korea then shipping from CA once it gets in from there

[snova44]

yeah Marietta is ok but what about ordering from evofusion??? Anybody have any experiance with buying from them??

[Cypher]

i didn't have any problems.

[SilverElantra]

i was one of the first to get a cf hood for the 04 accent...they said 3 months and it ended up being 6 months....they had a deal where you could order the hood and a body kit...bvasically getting the hood for free...my buddy ordered both and it has been a full year later and he just now got his side skirts to his body kit on friday...and the front adn rear are still yet to come in....

[snova44]

that is the kind of thing I am wondering about. I don't want to wait 6 mos. for a cat-back. I e-mailed them a few weeks ago and still have not gotten an answer back.

[Tyburn]

I see many people are suffering from the same evofusion problem.. including me
here's reply I got few days ago... after sending E-mails to so many addresses...

We usually reply within 1 business day (we were closed monday-tuesday). The only address you should use is orders@evofusionusa.com. have you used that one? I didnt see emails sent there. Well, as the website says, this is a prebuy, thats why it was so cheap...we gave people who paid in advance for it a big discount. It was finished early this month and on the way to us from Korea, should arrive in the next few weeks. There are 25 of them on there, yours is guaranteed to be on there. We will send you tracking as soon as we ship from here.

[SilverElantra]

well since they are done hopefully they will get thier **** together.

[Raydee]

Well I pre-ordered my exhaust the other night. I have lots of work to do on the car so I have time to wait but I really hope I am not waiting months for it to come in.

[importspeed]

I see here that four of us have pre-ordered our cat backs, and thanks to those who kept the thread going. I wish everybody luck and hope that we all get our exhausts in a timely manner. reading the last post from Tyburn, seems that EF has 25 exhaust units in shipment,I do hope that they were smart enough not to accept more preorders than they have units availabl
Good job; SILVERELANTRA,TYBURN,and RAYDEE. please let the rest of us know when each of you get your exhaust.

[Raydee]

Hey when I first got my Elantra I took it to my Muffler guy that has been doing all my cars for years and he said it would be at least $500. $310 shipped for a bolt on that I can do is a steal...even if it takes a little while to come in.

[snova44]

I don't mind waiting even a month, but any longer than 4 weeks I would be worried.

[chillbro1]

I talked to one of the guys out there at EF last week in reference to the catback exhaust.

He advised me that the shipment was delayed because of some totally unrelated problem with a shipment of Kia taillight lenses that are being shipped in the same carton as the catback exhausts (hey...I am just telling what he said).

This person (I didn't get his name) at EF advised that he thinks it should only be another 3-4 weeks to get the shipment in, barring any delays in customs, etc...

I dunno, it is a long wait, but considering that any other pre-fab catbacks are in the $500.00 range, it might be worth the wait.

I tried a different option. I placed an order with Gary Rome Hyundai for the Bill Smulo Engineering catback exhaust. After making a phone call to verifiy if they had the exhaust in stock (which was confirmed),I then placed the order, only to receive a phone call advising the exhaust was not in stock and I would have to wait (take a wild guess) 3-5 weeks for the B.S.E. catback to arrive.

Anyhow...it'd be nice if one of these companies decided that having these parts on hand might make them more successful in selling them.

I wonder how many other people out there are sitting on their orders so they can have 3 to 5 day service as opposed to weeks.


Anyhow, just my 2 cents...


Peace,


Chill

[Raydee]

Jeez, it better be in before my summer is over!

[SilverElantra]

dont count on it...evofusion really needs to get their **** together this is bull**** now...they seem to have a problem with all of their orders.

[snova44]

$300 for a cat-back is a good deal but after waiting I'am sure people will say screw it and try to get one somewhere else. I do like the style of the EV one.

[importspeed]

:mad: F**K ME! this is going from bad to worse. Hey SilverE, is your reply based on the post by chillbro1? or do you have even more depressing news to share. BTW, has any of the rest of ya paid by credit card and had the purchase already post to your account? mine has! :bs:

[SilverElantra]

i was just making statements from previous purchases from EVO if you read my earlier posts...and i paid with credit but havent checked to see if it cleared yet.

[Tyburn]

anyone know the news about the catbacks that are on the way?
did they get them shipped yet?
they started not replying my E-mails again.... grrrrr :mad:

[Raydee]

Nothing here.

I dont know why you guys order from these jerkoffs. All I hear is negative feedback about them.

[SilverElantra]

i havent heard a word recently cept we have to wait the extra month cause they shipped em back....so we should hear within the next 2 weeks.

[yahoo1z]

is the catback loud? how much do they usually charge to install the catback?

[03SilverBullet]

They can be loud if you dont have a muffler with a silencer. You can prob put it on yourself if its a bolt on.

[SilverElantra]

the exhaust is bolt on... dont any evofusion reps ever come on this forum...we need an update seriously this is kinda getting borderline bs.

[Vampyrate]

nope, no EF guys go further than their own site, i dont even know if they use their own forum

[SilverElantra]

thats not true ef guys have a guy that posts on hyundaiperformance

[jimzgls]

Sure wish I read this before I sent some $ their way. I can't even get anyone on the phone much less a reply from email. Should have kept $310 for something else other than that catback that probably wont get here till '07.

[Vampyrate]

you coulda gotten a catback for your car a lot cheper if you went to a muffler shop and had one made... just keep calling and emailing and finally they will answer, and ask about:
1. update
2. refund

[SilverElantra]

im so fed up with thier b*llsh*t now im canceling my order and getting the r34 skyline body kit....forgte an exhaust....for now.

[03SilverBullet]

Well thats not a surprise with evofusion customers.

[SilverElantra]

i wont even order anyhting from evofusion anymore.....im gonna get the sharkracing r34 body kit...dont care if ti takes longer to arrive...which it prolly wont...buyt its also less money...i just camnt take it anymore...it was the same bs with my cf hood for my 04 accent

[Raydee]

Any updates yet? I am hoping to have this exhaust before the snow starts flying again :mad:

Hey guy.. We cant help you here, only those assholes at evofusion can. Why dont you just get your money back and go with the ARK catback?

[Raydee]

Well I am going to give them a couple more weeks and a few more emails to see if they respond before I call my CC company and file a claim. Next time I order anything for my car I will do better research and make sure the company is reputable.

I,m feeling the same as this guy, while I haven,t been calling and e-mailing Evofusion,I am growing impatient as well,I plan to begin the hounding of EF the 1st of June and then contact my CC company and start the refund process too

[SilverElantra]

i called evofusion and e-mailed and they replied saying they are getting thier exhausts next week but i already cancelled it and ima just get the r34 kit next week and after my kit is installled get my exhaust done at a local shop for $200

[jimzgls]

I too asked for a refund and guess what he said to email the request to orders@evofusionusa that they never answer anyway. Anybody got any buddies near the area to take over there and beat some since in these guys? :Blasting_ :Blasting_

[snova44]

I had a feeling this place was going to be trouble AGAIN!!!!!!

[Raydee]

Any word guys? I have sent multiple emails just asking if they even have a shop date yet and I haven't had any returned.

[03SilverBullet]

Bro just cancell the order.

[jimzgls]

Same response I got, had to try to call a couple of times during the day, so far 7 days no credit yet or emails. I have already talked to the bank about a chargeback.

[Raydee]

What did your bank say about the chargeback?

[03SilverBullet]

Evo should really be put of of business or the credit card companys should cut them off.

[Raydee]

Their ONLY saving grace is they never advertised that the Exhaust system is in stock. I am sure that if I try to pull my money out they will have a leg to stand in in court if they decided to sue me for the money. I really don't mind the fact that it still isn't being shipped but at least be a good business and keep us up to date on whats going on with our money. It really stinks that the two business' that have performance upgrades for the Elantra's are both very unreliable.

Call your CC company up and let them give you the money back and then they will fight EVO for the money.. Trust me they will respond to a CC company.

[Tyburn]

GOOD NEWS GUYS!
got an E-mail from them and this is what they say...

Exhausts have arrived in California. Just waiting for them to Clear Customs. We should be able to get them in the next few business days.

[Raydee]

Yep i got the same email last night. We will see how long it takes to clear custom's now.

[importspeed]

GOOD NEWS GUYS!
got an E-mail from them and this is what they say...
:clap: :clap: Finally Some Good News,Curious though was the E-mail from EF a reply to one that you had sent, OR was it sent by EF as a courtesy update? I have not recieved one as of yet.

[Raydee]

I sent them a few emails so i would say its a reply.

[Raydee]

Any new updates?

[importspeed]

Any new updates?
I havent heard anything new, however I have tried numerous times since I got home and got online to go to Evofusion site and I cannot connect, So MAYBE there is a chance that they are in the process of updating their site.

[Raydee]

Spell lately? sorry but that EF catback page showing the pic of the exhaust has been there since before I ordered mine back in April, so it has not been updated, I am sure that they would mention that the exhausts are in stock AND that the price has gone up. Hey I am with ya, I too am OVER waiting for my catback as well.

[Raydee]

What the hell are you talking about????????????????????????????? THis page has been updated with the new price.

As you can see from the picture, we are now remaking this exhaust, but with a new mercedes-style oval muffler, a first for a Hyundai here in the USA. As of June 1, the exhausts are now in stock, ready to ship. Shipping is 30 dollars anywhere in the continental USA. For other areas please email us first before purchasing.

2001-2006 Elantra Evo Fusion Cat Back Exhaust
Price - $350 plus shipping

[importspeed]

Raydee I apologize to you, YOU are right. I finally got to the EF site,I was having problems with my Sorry *** AOL broadband connection , anyway the site IS updated so that is good to see. Now It should take no longer than a week of shipping from CA here to the East coast,depending on how soon EF gets around to shipping these things out.

[Raydee]

No problem here, I am pretty happy that they have them in stock now and will soon be here. Mine will be installed the day it shows up!

[CTele02]

Will they ever update those hp numbers lol? Since when can you make 20hp from exhaust alone? If it were true, more people would be all over this...

Also price now is 350+30shipping = $380 On the Store menu it still says 275+shipping so lets say 30 bucks = $305..

[Raydee]

What? You mean they don't make another 20hp?? Now I am mad and going to ask for my money back!

Just kidding

I am not trying to stick up for them or anything but they are not the first or last company to inflate their HP ratings on items.

[CTele02]

Just because others are doing a bad thing, doesn't make it right... :confused: They should do some REAL testing and then with REAL numbers people would trust em more. BTW you guys should do some Dynos to "prove" me wrong...

[Raydee]

Nobody is trying to prove you wrong or say you are a liar. I didn't buy my exhaust to see a huge performance difference, I bought it for a different sound. I will be happy with 5HP as long as the system sounds good

[SilverElantra]

hey raydee where did you get those tails cause they look like the clear ones like i want but cant find anywhere.... or are they smoked?

[Tyburn]

anyone got a mail about the catbacks being cleared costoms and shipped???
they were supposed to be cleared yesterday and I haven't got a single mail saying they got'em in their hands or sending them...

------update------
I sent them E-mail just now and got reply in like 10 minutes
here's what they say:
They cleared customs today, and a lot should be shipping out tomorrow.
so I'm guessing we'll be getting the catbacks next week if we're lucky, or the week next. (might be later for Canadians like me....)

[Raydee]

Tyburn, I got an email yesterday saying that they cleared customs and were shipped to them yesterday so they should be going out any time now.

Silver those are the smoke covers but they are really a light smoke and pretty clear.

Raydee ,Tyburn, Thats great news, glad to hear that your shipments are on the way to you. I have not recieved my shipment confirmation as of yet but I am sure it will happen soon. Now get that exhaust installed as soon as you can and get some pics posted.

[Raydee]

DHL says mine will be delivered on Wednesday so it will be on my ride by next weekend for sure. I am glad I waited now.

heh i cancelled my order on the exhaust got my 300 back and just got a catback put on today with 2.25 inch piping....ideal for an i4.....and it was only 175 and sounds pretty damn good.

Man I don't know how the heck you guys get your exhaust systems done so cheap out there. You must have little third world sweat shop kids welding up pipes for $3.50 and hour or something. When I called all the muffler shops around here I couldn't get a stainless catback system made for under $500. :eek:

[Tyburn]

wooo it even says when it'll arrive on DHL???
mine's being shipped by UPS... they don't say when but I checked it out just now
they are half way outa CA now... so its about 1/4 of the whole trip done... 3/4 more to go! can't wait!!

[chillbro1]

Man I don't know how the heck you guys get your exhaust systems done so cheap out there. You must have little Mexican guys welding up pipes for $3.50 and hour or something. When I called all the muffler shops around here I couldn't get a stainless catback system made for under $500. :eek:


Not tryin to blast on you Raydee...but why they gotta be Mexicans...

Most "custom exhaust" shops wanna do crush bent exhausts and enlarge the diameter of the pipe...and then a lot of times their quotes are based on welding into the exhaust from the 2nd cat backwards (meaning all stock restriction)...hence the reason why it is cheap. Not much different from all the pickup trucks with duals and all that stuff.

If you talk to a shop that does a Mandrel bent exhaust anywhere in the country...it'd be over $400 for sure...(local Mandrel fab shop quoted me $700.00) and that isn't even for Stainless Steel...


Just my .02


Peace

[CTele02]

YA Raydee, they preferred to be called illegal immigrants!

[Raydee]

Well the comment wasn't meant to offend any of my mexican brothers.....even though in some cases they do work over here for much less money then any man should get paid. I changed my original post cause I don't want to come off like some racist white supremacist.

[SilverElantra]

ya mine is crush bent and it still has the stock 2nd cat but ima just get a honda straight pipe and replace it or just wait for the obx headers and then just buy a high flow cat and get rid of everything that is stock.....not sure yet....anypne know where i can get ahold of some obx headers ....most places are outta stock right now.

[Raydee]

Any vid or sound clips of your new exhaust?

[SilverElantra]

not yet.

[importspeed]

I got my GOOD news today, Although I never got a shipment confirmation e-mail from DHL, I did call EF and then DHL and was able to get my shipment info and tracking number. my exhaust is in route and expected to be here Wednesday 6/8/06. I will probabaly Install it Sunday cause I gotta work on Sat. and There will be pics of my install.

[Toecutter]

I have very good news. My Exhaust came from EVO Fusion yesterday! They did a very nice job with it too, the welds look great. I'm going to install it this weekend and I'll try to post some pics.

After I have the exhaust on, I'll do the headers. Then, I'll determine weather or not I need the resonator.

[Tyburn]

good news here too, I just called UPS and they said its gona be shipped at my home tomorrow at 7pm.
so, I'm installing it on Thrusday morning and see how it goes.
oh yeah, there's no welding needed at all to put it on my stock Elantra, right?

Well it looks like mine will be here Thursday so if you guys get it on before me let me know if you run into any problems.

Ohh yeah first one to post a vid with the new system installed is king!

[Raydee]

Mine came in today, so far it looks like it was well worth the wait. I have to take a better look but it looks like it came with gaskets and hardware.

[importspeed]

Mine came in today, so far it looks like it was well worth the wait. I have to take a better look but it looks like it came with gaskets and hardware.
I got mine today also,1 day earlier than DHL had said. the system looks great,comes with two gaskets and two sets of bolts, It is made of stainless steel but has standard steel flanges, the welds look perfect, even to the effect of being done by robots. BUT here is the gripe. I look inside the 4 1/2" by 2 1/2" roled edge oval tip to see if it is a straight through design, and to my disappointment i see that the inner pass pipe of the muffler looks like a
1 1/2" diameter. I have tried to get the best pic of this to show what I mean, That is uncalled for you build a 2 1/4" mandrel catback and put 1 1/2" pass tubes inside the muffler. That has to be more restrictive than the OEM 1 7/8" pipes.I still plan to keep the exhaust as I feel that all the pippes up to the muffler are worth the cost But I might be going to the shop and getting that sorry muffler section replaced with a real 2 1/4" performance muffler.

Try it first, they may have did that for a reason.

[importspeed]

Try it first, they may have did that for a reason.
thats true,maybe it is designed to keep some backpressure to avoid torque loss, I will install it as is and give it a fair trial before I consider changing it.
Let me know if your system is the same, when you get to take a good look at it.

[KeWLKaT]

sweet... finally they ended up producing these... cant wait to see if it sounds/performs better than the fartcan system they used to have

im glad i got my custom one done i think that sh*t is pretty damn ugly comparitively...and that would be to pretty much any muffler....in my personal opinion.

ImportSpeed having the pipe like that only really changes the tone of the exhaust....there is not much left once the exhaust gases hit there anyways so there will be no power loss....or shouldnt be.

Well I am not real fond of the looks myself. My muffler was also welded a bit crooked so i had to go back under the car and loosen the system up and tweak it a bit so the muffler sat less crooked. After doing that the muffler tip was hitting the bottom of my bumper so I took a trip down to the local muffler shop and they hooked me up with a longer rubber hanger. With the longer hanger it sits about 3/4" below the bumper now. I talked to the guy working there about cutting this muffler off the system and welding me a different muffler on it and he said that wouldn't be a problem. So I guess if the looks don't grow on me I will go buy a Borla or something and have a muffler shop weld it on. I do agree that the older system looked better but for $275 I can't complain much considering the local muffler shops here wanted over $500 for a custom system.

Well I already have the new evo fusion exhaust on and I love it, I feel much more power has been opened up. Also feel it was a better buy than anything else I was thinking about getting and it looks great!!
