Looking a Harvey Smith up pipe for a newage for my standards ported header can you still get them or has any one got one for sale

 

Give it until the new year, then contact Harvey's Mrs on his normal e-mail addy.

By then, she will have made some sort of decision and either will continue to supply, or will have sold on/leased the rights.

 

puzzled why no one else has made these. easily replicatable. i expect abuse for such torrid thoughts... but almost every aftermarket part comes in different forms... or has like for like copies... Japspeed springs to mind.

 

Harvey's has taken quite a while and a lot of work to perfect. The bores, the position of the narrowing, the amount of polishing...they all make a difference.

Harvey's supplier won't supply to anyone BUT Harvey, or rather his wife at the mo.

NOT all up-pipes are the same, trust me.

 

if the current supplier / retailer stops providing. A new source should be found.

This pipe is just..... a pipe, and replicatable.

Just pointing out some basic facts. Im not going to make them!

You cant patent every up pipe... just your own.

Its an open market....

 

Not sure what you are saying really. There are others out there, they claim to be as good. They aren't. Simple.

And the supplier will not "stop supplying" he will supply to dawn, or Darren, who did the work for Harvey, and perhaps someone will come in and offer Dawn a decent amount for the rights. That would be fair, eh?

 

I'm after one as well

 

Has anyone a picture of the differences between say haveys and RCM

 

I need 3 up pipes anyone got the email Address

 

Not me...but I HAVE seen both side by side...no contest.

 

harveysmith1@btinternet.co.uk

 

Can anyone put a picture of the inside of a harvey one just want to see if mine is a harvey as been informed it could be

 

Hi I need a harveys upipe too, I tried emailing bt it fails, any reason to why? Is the email account removed?

 

Harvey passed away not so long ago (RIP) so that is probably why the email address is no longer active.

 

I've heard, very sad, is there any way I can stil get the up pipe?

R.I.P Harvey

 

Not sure buddy. We will just have to wait until someone who knows the family & Harvey's business well enough lets us know if they are going to continue. Until then the best bet is to put a post in the "Wanted" section of the Members Marketplace.

 

Cheers mate will do

 

You could try contacting DLM Auto`s in darlington where harvey had most of his parts fitted for customers,i had my HS turbo and uppipe fitted there and they are a great bunch of lads..ask for darren he will be able to help you out mate.

Oh wicked, thanks mate il give them a call first thing in the morning :')

 

Anytime bud.

 

Was going to suggest this. If Daz can't get one, he might know the state of play.

 

" Not sure what you are saying really. There are others out there, they claim to be as good. They aren't. Simple."

Not suggesting an other misc pipe, i'm suggesting the pipe hasn't been copied yet. This isn't a circuit board, its a steel pipe.

If your after a pipe, contact Alyn at AS Performance, he might be able to help you out.

Darren is a fitter, not a pipe supplier. I called him a while back and he couldn't help.

 

I'm also after an Up Pipe, if you find a source for a Harvey one, can you pass on the details please

Thanks

 

Agreed, but Daz was Harvey's friend and his fitter. He will be in contact with Dawn. I know Dawn was in the process of deciding what to do about the up-pipes, amongst other things.

I'm NOT sure it's ethical to copy Harvey's pipe, nor am I sure anyone would do it for you. Circuit board it may not be, but it IS the result of many hours of design work and testing.

 

I called Darren a few months back and he could not help. I live close.

I called Alyn, he called Dawn. Problem was resolved.

Not suggesting a copy, but I cant see how the pipe itself is anything but a replica of other pipes...

Its an improvement of the RC Venturi pipe is just baffled to low and the outlet hole is too wide. Harvey worked with RC to get pipe made.

I have previously discussed with a close friend (welder) how to resolve the issue. Easy fix.

As far a copys go, I dont think you can protect a generic pipe that itself is a replica of an OEM item that itself is more than likely not protected, hence all the after market copies of the Subaru up pipe.

 

But to make it clear, i'm not trying to be difficult, i have a HS pipe already, i bought two in total.

I'm more interested in the stagnation of an in demand item that needs a reasonable resolution to lack of supply but high demand.
