MSP Hard Piping..Part II

[ForceFed]

OK ALL,I got some pics of the piping in very rough stage.The piping fitment is complete.I still need to get my silicone shipped in and the finishing done.It will take at least a week for me to get my silicone connectors in from my supplier and we have to get some more aluminum ordered in as well.I have pics of the actual piping but not on the vehicle as I don't have the correct connectors in my hand as of yet.There is still a little trimming of length to do for fitment of the connectors but all in all the piping you will see in the pics is the final unfinished design.I also had a small piece of the piping rough polished to see what kind of results I could get out of it and I think it looks really good!It will go nicely with the Injen Intake!
The piping is only tack welded together,because we want to wait for the silicone in case we need to break any pieces apart for final fitment.We just finished putting this together this afternoon.

We still have not determined exact pricing but should know by the end of the week.

I would like to know who is really interested so I may start a list and get the proper amount of hardware shipped in.

For those who are not familiar with this piping please read the first post.

It looks like the polished W/ the black connectors is the route as of now that I am going to go with this project.

Check the link for the first pic of the piping in the box!

This pic is of the upper and lower pipe ,both laying on the floor.

[ForceFed]

Just trying to show the difference

Close up of the polished piece.

[ForceFed]

This pic is of the upper and lower(longer Pipe) with the lower seperated to show where the flex section will go.The upper will probably have a flex section too,but we have not decided where we are going to put it for the best performance and also for the best look.
I hope these pics help out !

[ForceFed]

As for how long till they are ready?
We will probably need two more weekends to get everything completed and final.If it will be done sooner ,I will let you guy's know.

check PM matt :)

I want it so bad, you can count me in for sure, just let me know when, and how much. You really seem to have taken everything into account here and I'm especially impressed with how much work is going into these hard pipes to make sure there are no problems, and they flex at the correct points. I'm really excited!

[boostisgood]

Matt, Oh Matt, when will I have my hard (snicker) Pipes :D

Let me know bro, I can jsut pick them up at the Cincy slam fest show. if its gonna be another week. :D

[Sixmil]

[orangezoom]

[doublebase]

AZ, force said it will be about $300 for the pipes.

Force, I am still down for the pipes. thanx for update.

[ForceFed]

I like the responses i am seeing!
I am working on this very hard to make sure that everything fits and works as it is supposed to!
As for the price,It will be higher that I originally thought.
After checking the movement of the motor(which is a lot),we had to implement a 2 piece lower pipe section(for flex) and will prob have to implement a flex section in the upper pipe as well.This does increase the cost a little bit.We are not only adding 2 extra silicone pieces to the project but also the clamps to mount them as well.This will make the pipe higher in cost but will also ensure that we don't break the factory plastic IC end tanks.I think that the cost of the pipe will be well worth it for the performance gains that will be possibble and for the extreme BLING FACTOR that it will add!The polishing is also a little higher that what the powdercoating would have been but when combined with the polished Injen intake,It will make a "BOLD" statement that you mean business when you pop the hood at any event!Whether that event be your local race track or car show,people will oogle at all the shine glowing from under your hood!
I hope to have the final pricing within the next 48 hrs. so that those of you who really want this may get it as soon as possibble.
I hope that this info will keep you guy's happy as I still work hard to get this piping done within the time that I have stated!

At this time ,I will not be offering any options.It will come only one way and this will be how all of them are done.In the future,if there is enough demand for these,I may offer different options on finishes and other items.I will keep you posted!

You really wanted yours powdercoated and not polished to match the Injen?
HMMM???
Why?
Matt:)

[DiscreetSpeed]

isnt it better for keeping the heat away?
i was under that impression but ill take you what you can give.haha

[laptopheaven]

I wanted my Powercoated to keep the somewhat stock appearance. I prefer "go" parts, don't look like "show" parts.

The word is sleeper.

[ForceFed]

We got the pricing figured out ,and the magic number is $350+shipping.
This cost reflects the 2 extra silicone flex sections we had to include in the kit,the 4 extra clamps,and the slightly higher cost of polishing these pipes.
I am still waiting on some supplies ,but ,I will have three kits ready to ship out on Mon. 8/4 .Two of these kits are spoken for already.
I would also like to know if there is someone out there that would prefer to have the red connectors vs. the black ones?
If so,then you would be lucky number three on the order list.
I only ask this because my silicione supplier is out of stock on the black connectors for two weeks but has red in stock currently.If one of you guys wants them in red ,i will do a set of pipes with the red connectors.
You guy's let me know so I can get this order placed by tomorrow,and have my final suppiles in by next week.

Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have and I will answer them as soon as possible,
Matt:)

[Sixmil]

Ill take the 3rd set, but I want black connectors.

-Six

[unwound]

matt check your pm.

[ForceFed]

Sorry SixMil,but the last set not accounted for has red connectors.
I will however have more being made,but I am waiting i\on the black silicone to come back into stock so it can be shipped to me.
If you really want the black connectors then I would just wait for the next batch of piping which will have the black connectors.It will be about three weeks before I get my next shipment of silicone.

unwound,if you really don't want the red then I suggest that you wait as well.When buying a product for your car,I would never settle on something if it is not "EXACTLY" what you want.

So ,As of now I will still have a set of pipes W/ the red connectors for sale .
You guy's let me know

matt,
are they the same connectors as the black ones, just in red?

also, i appreciate the thoughts man, problem is i' am actually torn between to 2 colors and you've got a set you want to sell in red when everyone wants black...you've already paid for the red connectors too, correct?

[ForceFed]

I haven't paid for them as of yet.I will be getting them shipped tonight,but my supplier only has enough black for me to do 2 black kits but he has plenty of red.I have three kits made up and I hate to let one just sit here while I wait for him to get the black back in stock.Now I hope you see my dilemma!I have monies vested in this project out of my pocket and until I get all the kits out the door then I will be left with a hole in my "personal " bank account.
You guy's keep that in mind.I am doing this project with my own money trying to help you guy's out.If you guy's say that you want some of these pipes and then back out after I build them then that is money "I" will be out ,not some company.
Just a thought,Matt:)

i understand, check your pm.

[Sixmil]

Thanks for putting this together. When the black comes in, I will take a set. Let me know about payment when the time comes, I will prepay, put down a deposit, or whatever you need.

-Siix

[ForceFed]

I am still looking for the guy who wants the red connectors instead of the black?I know one of you wants these pipes with red instead of black?
Please PM me if this is what you want,I am still in search of the third party who want these pipes but with red connectors and not the black>If worst comes to worst,I will send you enough silicone to make the Injen look Like it came with red connectors too!
Matt:D
I want to get these sent out as soon as possibble!

[t3ase]

I'm down for a set. I'll need two to three weeks before I fully commit though, as I'm currently unemployed but still have a broken I/C pipe. Mazda's taking their time.. :rolleyes:

Unless you need me to test a kit for ya... :D

[orangezoom]

I have sent you PM's and email I do not care what color it is I'll take red
