Fabspeed SV build.. we call her.... FLAMETHROWER!
A week or so ago I contacted a customer of mine the next state over. We interact on the forums and his Diablo SV had always stuck out to me in his pictures and posts... For quite some time now I have wanted to get a Diablo in to take apart and see what type of products we can develop for it...
As some of (or all of) you Lamborghini enthusiasts know the aftermarket for the Diablo is lacking to say the least. The selection of mufflers and other exhaust components is Tubi, and.... well, Tubi. Seeing as how our Gallardo and Murcielago clientele has been growing exponentially it seemed natural that we expand our model lineup to include the "older" cars...
I contacted the owner of the car and explained my goals, hopes and dreams for the Diablo... He was EXCITED and felt the same way I did about the lack of aftermarket support for the iconic Diablo cars. After our initial talk we set up a time to have the car dropped off and a ride home for the customer arranged. Monday night (1/16/12) the customer arrived in the car.. it was as spectacualr in person as in the pictures! (I was/am excited if you havent gotten that yet).
The next morning we wasted no time and dug right in:
How she arrived:

Stay tuned for power upgrades....

sorry for the lack of updates... very busy here!
we are almost done with her. We fitted the SV with a muffler bypass x-pipe that incorporates two resonators and is finished with large, dual 4.5" tips. I am very happy with how it turned out, the customer is ecstatic and the car sounds MEAN! I havent had a chance to put her back on the rollers but when i do, I will update you all first.
here is how she started:
stock 2ndary cats:
muffler bypass x-pipe:
close up of hangers.. true artwork:

This sunday I have two professional photogs (Andrew Goodman and Dave Tormey) shooting the car after Nick Oakes at Oakes detail works his magic on her. I was having trouble uploading to Youtube however you should be able to watch the clips on facebook even if you do not have a FB account. Andrew and Dave are two of the most amazing photographers around, the pictures will be EPIC. you can check them out here:
