Hehe, all in due time my friend. I've learned to be patient with parts, etc. We work with actual engineers on our products and a lot of times I'm yelling, "Come on guys. Lets get this done! Other people are selling their stuff already." They just tell me the same thing some of our other customers say...."Go ahead and let the others buy the junk, it makes our cars faster".

I agree. You make a quality product and I still love my GT exhaust!

So, when are you guys going to make a chrome replacement for the Turbo intakes to replace the stock ones?

Haha, never! I really don't care for chrome unless its on a truck or something. Its funny because we have had customers come to us with overheating issues. We took off their chrome plated valve covers, put a stock replacement and heating problem resolved. Hehe. Replacing the inlet elbow with a silicone hose could help flow but I dont think anyone is having problems with inlet flow.

I am feeling these. Again, what do they weigh? Will you be sending these out the door naked, or will you mount & balance? (I don't have a place locally that I trust.)
Do they use original hardware? -J

Are those one piece (with basically useless rivets for look) or a true multi-piece design?

Check the vendor section. I'm sure someone out there will sell them. :P

I don't think ANY company out there will make a quality 3pc design for $1400. The only ones with true multipiece designs and working rivets are our DPE wheels for the Sky. We have them in 1, 2 and 3 piece. Then again, you will pay $3400+ per set.
