Sweet this is going to be a great turn out. Maybe we can arrange a cruise together even.

As for Friday nights, they aren't bad... But I'd wait a couple weeks because then we can meet up and you can see the turbo tC racing.

It's only a matter of time before we work out any fuel bugs and get the car running where we want it.
I was going to comment on that, cuz in the pictures the pipes look like 1mm apart and figured they might clank together under way. You don't think that will be a problem though?

The kit looks amazing, I can't wait for the full thing to be done and prices to be set. This is turning out really decent! What type of coating on the pipe will be offered, and will there be color choices on other things; like BOV, tubing, etc?

Glad to hear you are back at it, sorry to hear you were so sick.

Thanks man. Feeling better now so that's a plus. The pipes won't be as close on the production kit, and will have tabs to prevent anything from clanking around. base finish will be a mild polished. Other options may be possible, but we're trying to avoid too many extra headaches. We will hook you up with third party vendors though to do any powder coating for your pipes. We just don't want unexpected delays from companies we do not normally do business with. The manifold has a few different color caps coating options and we'll show that as we near completion. Hopefully it's all done soon!

Small update...

We have a 3rd fuel system we're trying out in the beginning of the week next week. Our pipes are all being bent today (final kit, not the ones seen in the pics). Once they're done with the bender they'll be mildy polished for a semi-show finish. It's not going to be dead sexy like some other polished or powder coated kits, but it leaves you the room to customize, and keeps cosats down while still looking good. ETA on a complete kit (pictures) is BY October 1st. 1 week away. From there, we'll spend the following week testing and installing everything to get it all running right, followed by the numbers.

Althought 2 weeks is not a long time, it sure as hell feels like it.

I hope everything goes well!!!!

It'll be a while. MAYBE the mid to late 06 area. No time soon though. Too much local work to deal with right now.

As stated in my last update on Friday...

We're expecting to have it fully installed this Friday. I don't think I'll have the exhaust done on Friday, but time will tell. Dyno tuning will all be done next week.
