Head Count for Piping

[03SpeedLSD]

Sup everyone. Just wanted to get a head count for those that would be willing to buy a piping package that consists of intercooler piping and turbo piping. I will be headed down to the beach the 2nd weekend in April. I have a friend that does custom piping. He has suggested to make the intake come right off the turbo(just like most hondas)For those that want cold air, I'm sure I can get him to make an extension that will go into the bumper. If I give him some hard numbers, I'm pretty sure we can get this package at a pretty good price. And this would be Great for all those do it yourselfers that don't trust anyone to work on your baby. Please let me know something. Thanx...Later,

P.S. Need a count for those of you willing to pay around end of April.
Give some feedback on how much you think this should cost, and how much your willing to pay.

i'd be interested as long as everything was polished. it shouldn't cost too much since all it is is some bent pipes. its not like the stuff is coming with an intercooler or anything. so it should be maybe a couple hundred at max????? just a guess here

Is this the piping from the mass air sensor (at the filter) - all the way down? And; how difficult would it be to replace the existing plastic piping? Thanks!

 

[boostisgood]

ummmm is it mandrell bent ? and will it come with the hose couplers? might be worth it if its polished or ceramic coated. i might be interested.

is this for the stock intercooler??

 

[03SpeedLSD]

Thanx for the feedback. Here's what I know so far.
1.This kit will be for those who want to keep the stock intercooler.
2.This kit can be polished at the shop, but price will be higher.
3.As is stands the kit will prob be ceramic or somehow coated.
4.This will replace all the pastic stock piping, and eliminate the go around your ass to get to your elbow deal that Mazda stuck on these cars.
5.More than likely this kit will come with everything needed for install. ( I will find out for sure)
6.The pipes are custom made, each pipe is placed, then cut at whatever angle needed, then welded together then ground down. These pipes look very Good, could be mistakin for one piece pipes. I will try and get some pics of his pipe work.

I think that is everything everyone asked.
Optional is also a welded flange for uprgrading BOV.

Hit me back and let me know what everyone wants. I don't think he will make this just for 5 people. So past the word around. Thanx...Later,

Found out today that the piping will be mandrel bent. Piping can be either painted or ceramic coated. Just wanted to update the situation...Later,

cost?

 

[mspeedpro]

sounds nice, any numbers yet??

 

[03SpeedLSD]

The cost is all gunna depend on what you want done with the whole install. Piping bends and length of piping will be different from using one intercooler to another. So far, I have gotten $25 per 180 degree bend. Mine will be the first one he does, so he's not exactly sure about labor time and hours yet. He did say it should only take 3-4 hours. I have planned with him to go down the 2-3 week of April. I will keep yall posted...Later,

 

[black03speed]

Do you plan on doing any before and after dyno testing to see if this makes any additional power?

 

[03SpeedLSD]

Yes, actually I have. I will be headed down to Daytona Beach this weekend for Super Street Tuner Bash. Hopefully will put me over the 3K mark. I will post the outcome, and keep yall posted...Later,

Yes, I ran my first autocross there a few weeks ago in my MSP and won 1st place in the Novice class. It was a blast.
