Prices are in Canadian

Just thought that I'd post another option. I believe these prices are all CAD

Hopefully they are...$875 for just hard pipes?? EIther way, that's a rip off...only the FMIC setup sounds worth it to me...But it says "joins with 1a" does that mean you have to buy both??
Where did you get that pricing from??

Prices are Canadian, and I think that he hard pipe kit comes with a BOV upgrade not just the flange. Looks like a pretty good deal to me.

Instead of bitching about pricing, we've got to realize that we finally have parts for our cars. I'm sure we all realize we don't have much aftermarket support right now, so everyone that helps out, regardless of cost, helps our community out enormously.

If you can't do it, don't buy it. Just say "Thanks" to whoever it is who posts the parts. At least we can show support instead of this negative streak we have going right now.

Pics, and type of IC would help sell for this company. Anyone got em ?

I'm only being negative because we already have companies doing hard pipe kits for half of that price...And I did say that the FMIC set up sounded like a good deal unless it was only the FMIC and you still needed to buy the hard pipe kit. The description wasn't worded the best...

It does come with a BOV and I know that they are a Spearco dealer so assume a Spearco FMIC. Theres a boost controller too. I'll see if I can get some pics from them

You have to save them to a source outside Hotmail for us to see them...

what's that last picture about?? I'm confused about that picture?? Does that mean you have to cut something out of the car. Also I notice you installed this on a titanium MSP, how does the CAI sticks out in the "duct," is it visible? And that route from compressor discharge to the IC intake is long and "windy" woW!!! How much pressure drop?? How about core efficiency?? What is the angle of endcap, especially on the intake side?? Is it greater than 13 degrees??

Sorry about all these numbers just wanna know so I can do some calculations

Oh and good job on trying to make the MSP better, I salute you!!

DooD, I salute you on your efforts. But that IC is mighty small, and does not look like the endcaps are created with the airflow efficiency in mind.

Just my0.02 :D

It does look like a nice kit, but I'm not sold on Blow Off Valves. I would rather use a Bypass Valve. The reason being, with a BOV, you release metered air to the atmosphere. With a BPV, the metered air stays in the loop, so you have the correct AFR.

I know some of you guys won't agree, and that's fine. I just feel better keeping the system intact.

I think most people prefer a BOV over a BPV, thats probably why they went with that. I also believe that that intercooler can flow over 300 hp

Nice pics! Not sure about the price. A nice (larger) i/c here in the states with a decent set of end caps will go for $900.00.
