    I guess its time to start a thread about these since they should be ready shortly

    The kits will be made with 304 Mandrel Bent Stainless.

    Uppipe and Downpipe are both made with a single piece of tubing, no cuts or welds.

    Both two bolt and three bolt uppipe flanges will be available so you guys with GT-Spec Headers will be able to go rotated, there is no extra charge for this.

    Upipes will be availble with traditonal 4 bolt flanges, Tial V-Band flanges, as well as the new Borg Warner Flanges

    Downpipes will be available with a 4 bolt Garrett discharge, Tial Vband, and Borg Warner flanges.

    All kits will use Tial 44mm Vband Flanges and will dump to atmosphere, custom recirc is available.

    I'm working on getting the Maf Flanges for the intake, that will be optional since a lot of guys that run kits like this will be running Standalone ECUs.

    Pricing is still up in the Air a little, I don't want to put it out there until I'm sure.

    Questions?

    As soon as the first Production Kit is ready Ill shoot pics.

    Power Output will be as good as any other kit out there, unless we are talking about the Tial kits which will be a whole different ballgame.

    Kits will be available at your local tuning shop when they are done. Currently that means Topspeed as they are the only ones that have commited to carry them.

    Just a FYI - There is a place in utah that sells MAF flanges ready to be mounted on different size piping. I can get you the info if needed. I think they charge like $50 a flange though.

    Each kit should come with a complementary Ball Watch ;)

    Matt's so generous that he's actually remaking them out of inconel. It's going to weight 10lbs for the whole thing and he will be slashing the price in half. PM him for details

    Lots and lots of pm's

    Seems like it will be a little laggy with all that piping.

    Actually Matt most people will not use stand-alone ECU's. Most will probably be using Cobb/Ecutek ;)

    How big of a MAF intake are you planning on making?

    Ill have a couple of setups available, for the stock ecu guys a 3 inch inlet with a 3 inch Maf built into the intake, for the standalone guys a 4 inch inlet will be available.

    The pipes are bent, but I've been talking with a new guy that will be able to handle everything in house, rather than me using a different guy for flanges, welding, piping etc, I'm very much looking foward to dealing with him.

    Regardless the first round will be available shortly.

    Matt

    3" = 76.2mm

    80mm = 3.15"

    I run an 83mm MAF on my car. I think it was 3 3/8" ID. That should be good up to about 575whp.

    Matt, can't wait to see the results :) I am sure they will be very nice. But this initial one is not using the v-band correct?

    I don't think Matt owns a camera. :p He's made numerous posts with new products and I still have never seen anything he sells. You need a website too! :)

    That 83mm MAF works REALLY well. Matt's kits will be able to have the 83mm option ;)
