Grumpy or Mack- Any developments regarding new products? Such as fmIC piping for rb25 or down pipes. I keep checking the site but it's the same for months. Thanks

Don't make me go PVC dude! I'm about to charge my home depot credit card.

PVC MELTS AT ABOUT 221 DEGREES... DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW. I'VE SEEN PICTURES OF A MUSTANG WITH PLUMBING RUBBER COUPLER FOR TURBO HOSES.

I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE MY FRIENDS AT FUELED PERFORMANCE DEVELOP ME A FMIC KIT..... I'LL FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT'LL COST AND IF THEY'LL DO IT.

I have talked to them about it before as well, and I think the problem is that in order for them to get 5, they need to order 1000.

Mack and Grumpy,I would love for you guys to make a piping kit. There is a good amount of demand for one, since the Hybrid piping kit is so hard to get from a reliable source.

I would definetly be interested in it. I believer it was $300 for the piping? That is 50 bucks less than the Hybrid kit that is hard to get. Plus I liked the fact that your pipes didn't run accross the radiator.

Count me in if you can get the intercooler piping by the end of April.

Sorry, I got frustrated waiting for the down pipe that I ordered one from Australia. I hope they will fit with no issues regarding the steering shaft. BTW I am using your mounts.
