Ansa Muffler for Crossfire - Group Buy
 

edited 12/2 : No longer considered a group buy - 10 available soon

Guys and Gals,

Here is the deal. I have been working with my friend Paul at Ansa to see if we can get some more of these mufflers for the forum members and it looks as if we may have a good possibility! However here are the criteria for the group buy as the dollar has weakened against the euro (I just got us a better deal and a few more $ shaved off but this is the best it will be for us) :

10 unit minimum group-buy
$212 per unit plus shipping (approx $17-$25 depending on location)

My first priority is to determine if there is enough interest and commitment to purchase these so that we can work out the details for payment and shipping. Given that we are in the winter months and I am sure that several of you are looking for something to do on your cars, so getting a commitment on these is our first priority which will allow me to give Ansa the go ahead to get these shipped from Italy. So here is what we need to do next to proceed:

- Reply to this thread if you are willing to commit to a purchase
- Shipping time will be about 6-8 weeks from when I give ANSA the go ahead (they ship by container from Italy)
- Payments will likely be to me and I will ship the mufflers to each of you.
- Payment details will likely be via check as PayPal fees add up (approx 8 bucks), but we can finalize details after we determine the critical mass for these units.

For those of you interested in more on the Ansa sound, results and installation see the posts below.

I wanted to get this option out to all of you that may have missed out on the last lot that Ansa had in the US.

Here is the Ansa list:
1. Rapps
2. Erzer

Well I must say that I am quite surprised that after all that I have seen that there is not more interest in the ansa muffler.

Well I guess I did a bit of work for us for nothing. I had thought that there were a number of pople that did want to make this muffler swap.

I guess I stand corrected but I had hoped that this would be of interest for you all.

Thanks

Nate

Nate count me in! I've got a Viper to compete with now, ouch at least an Ansa will "sound" like more HP if I really give it the gas, ha ha.

Do you guys know if the Magnaflow 16633 tips are available seperate? Those would look great on the Ansi muffler.

Hopefully there will be a chance to hear a Borla, ANSA, and Magnaflow side by side so I can hear the difference. Depending on that, I may be interested in joining in this buy.

re: Ansa Muffler for Crossfire - Group Buy
 

I can tell you I have heard the Ansa and the Magnafow catback side by side and they are nearly identical.
The Magnaflow tips are a larger diameter and won't fit on the Ansa muffler although our OEM tips are exactly the same diameter and distance apart.
I have never heard the Borla.

re: Ansa Muffler for Crossfire - Group Buy
 

From what I understand, it's even milder than the Ansa. Some consider it not even worth the purchase... a cat-delete would probably yield the same sound because the Borla system adds an extra resonator that none of the other kits offer.

Thanks, that is the first I've heard that assessment. And thanks to you too VALK. I would still would like to hear to make sure.

Surely there is a Borla owner out there that can chime in.

Eric,
You will probably have your chance to hear em all at the Dragon.
I'm sure with the amount of Crossfires coming you will hear one of each.

re: Ansa Muffler for Crossfire - Group Buy
 

I thought these were no longer available....:eek:

IMO, I think the Ansa and the Magnaflow sound pretty much the same.

re: Ansa Muffler for Crossfire - Group Buy
 

Apparently the US had no more in stock but if there is enough interest they are still in Italy and a shipment can be made to the US if the order qty. is large enough.

Just my guess here.
nate_man is this correct ??

Correct Valk.

These were a muffller that was used for the vettes and they were no longer carrying them in the US. I spoke with my friend Paul and he is willing to work someting out for us. If we can get at least 10 we will be able to get them shipped from Italy where they still have some available.

They are doing this as a favor for us as Paul is really a good guy and would like to support our desires to have an Ansa on our cars.

To be honest we did a bit of work to try and make this happen and have been able to keep the price close to what it was given the exchange rate. I am just surprised that no one is really jumping on this.

I only have one person that has committed at this point.

Thanks

Nate
