If we get 10 I'll get the ball rolling, so who wants one?

I'm pressed for time here. What are the performance gains on this product? How is the install?

Exactly. Designed from the ground up for max high RPM power gain.

You can expect roughly a 10% WHP increase over baseline. It's harder to take the stock manifold off than it is to put mine on. Swap can easily be done by a competent installer in a day.

from what i have read the install is not difficult and the power gains are proven i think i saw a dyno sheet before with one.

About how much time to install? Took me about 6 hours to do the steedspeed exhaust manifold. I took the turbo out when installing that.

Took me about 5 hours the first time, but after all the prototyping I had the process down to about an hour. All depends on your own ability and whether or not anything fights you while removing the stocker. The EGR can be a pain, but other than that it's pretty straight forward.

I am def interested. The only thing that is holding me back is setting a date to install it. If I could I would just pay somebody to do it. See I just had my second child and I literally have 0 time. If I want to take a day to work on my car my wife gives me a rash of s***. I guess you can count me in on the GB. I will keep checking this thread for updates. In the mean time I will start putting money aside so the wife doesn't notice Any deals for someone buying an intake manifold AND a cold air box?
