Are you producing these for yourself only or for others as well? I'm planning on mounting my intercooler behind the core support and moving my radiator back for better throttle response... would you be able to make custom piping for that application?

they will be availble soon as i test fit it to a stock turbo CA.

sean IC kit will be soon !

this was the prototype hotpipe i will be providing these to every CA person and Sr people will have some made also. custom piping to the IC from infront of the RAD like the euro guys shouldnt be to hard.. we might have you make up a PVC model of how it fits in your car then ship it to use along with photos maybe and we can make it from there.

what kind of pipe, welder, and wire? I have some aluminized steel pipes from jcwhitney, and I'm thinking of renting a mig w/ some hard wire for a day and doing the piping.

An Si badge will give you the 30hp. The VTEC sticker is more like 6whp. Now the Type R sticker.... that's like adding a turbo. There is no limit to the power you can make with that.
