Who is we?
I have the intake on right now, Hoover is addressing some fitment issues. There are a few new items that may get thrown into R&D. They could possibly throw the market into a fury...

It took me about 2 hours once i really got working on it ... the stock pipes are sort of a pain in the ass to get off because the plastic exapands and contracts with the temperature.. i would say you should run your car for about 10 mins to warm them up before trying to get them off ... watch the heatshield though ... i burnt myself through a set of mecanics gloves.

Its an easy install, just make sure you aren't pressed for time so you can do it right the first time.
Just use some strength and wiggle and the stock pipes will come off. Just make sure not to scratch up the finish on your hardpipes. You'll be surprised how easily polished alum scratches, and you don't want your new pipes looking jacked up. If you don't remove your intake, then you will have to do a little maneuvering to get the pipes in place.
Well, I was going to put my pipes and hks bov on tonight, but I need to get a clamp tool and some hoses (little tiny things) I am not sure where they are supposed to hook up to. Can someone take a picture of how they hooked the hks up to a intake manifold source. I see several tubes but am not sure which one to tap into.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The Pipes are on sale for $380. With the SMIC it is $975.

Is the sale price of $380 the "shipped price"? In one of your GB's, you were charging $33 to weld on a Greddy Type-S flange...how close to that $33 price, can you honor this time around?
I'm very interested in buying the best hardpipes out there and if I can save a few bucks, even sweeter!
[I won't out-grow these pipes...planning on the TurboHoses SMIC upgrade]

The tig weld and a greddy or HKS flange is $88. The GB price was $63 which was set prior to getting the tig welding done. We took a hit on each tig weld because it costs us more than $63 to do it. We had to change the price to cover the costs to put the flange on. Thanks...

Unfortunetly not, there are not enough kits available to run another GB, same with the SMIC.
