TurboHoses SMIC & Hardpipes (Orders being taken)

[StreetUnit]

damn ... thats what i figured ... do you have any of those in stock, actually ill just buy the one your using if you dont mind. Im going to get the fabricators to mold about a 3 inch horn on that sucker and we will see how loud i can make it. :-D

I had it on for 8 minutes and unscrewed it outta there. Killed the sound. Its yours... I need to get it out tomorrow so hit me up.

Whats the "bolt" Issue?

Whats the "bolt" Issue?

They ... along with all the other SMIC producers had a problem with one of the bolts that hooked the SMIC to the fan. From what i have talked to Cullen about it is no big deal, but i think they are trying to fix it anyway. Turbohoses seems very patricular about how they do things, which means they take longer, which in the end is better for all of us. They make great products.

Yeah I remeber them addressing that issue now, eailer. I didnt know if that was what you were talking about. Seems that there is still no answer as to weather or not they are going to make it exact to fit or not, honestly I would want it exactly OEM, regardless of problems, price ect.

I think they are planning on making it perfect ... they rarely release anything that isnt. It would not hurt the performance of the SMIC, nor the car in any way.

did you get my check Cullen?

 

[evolv]

I'm definately interested but I have a few questions.

First, this is my plan for my car. CAI - catback system - MBC @ 8 or 9 psi - hardpipes and FMIC (est WHP = 180??)

BOV / BPV issue. What system provides the best success rate and which is easiest to set up?

Does anyone know if the increase in HP from the FMIC plus the addition increase in HP from other mods (see list above) create wheel hop?

 

[Wiggles422]

Well I had wheel hop at stock hp. I highly doubt it would get any better. If you really wanna get rid of wheel hop get some motor mounts (at least the front one).

 

[StreetUnit]

did you get my check Cullen?

Not yet Chad, I will let you know when I do... How did you send it?

The bolt has been solve. They are making last phase fitment checks and then we will be getting the SMIC's out...

Wheel hop is from you motor not being held securely enough (the stock mounts are not stiff enough). More HP will make it worse. That's why almost everyone with a lot of mods has at least a front motor mount (cheap and easy to install). If you want it secure as can be get both motor mounts, but if you drive it daily it will make you crazy to vibrate at idle all the time.

Did they go into any detail about what they did to address the bolt issue

 

[celdridge]

Any ship date information on these ... i know the hurricane has probably delayed things. Happy to hear everyone is ok though.

 

[spicynamja]

Frikkin Florida right now! 3 Hurricanes? Good lord I love CA.

Glad you guys are alright.

 

[StreetUnit]

Hey guys,
The hurricane isn't delaying the SMIC. The production is delaying it. TH is making sure that is fits perfectly. I am waiting on a return call regarding ETA's.

Spicy,
Did you feel any of that earthquake that hit CA?

 

[4001]

Good lord I love CA.

well, those first 2 points are moot, since california is the most populous state by far (about 13 million more than the next state, texas). so it only stands to reason that a state with more people will have more cops, and thus more cop deaths. same goes for crime, those stats aren't per capita.

Besides, when was the last time we had a devastating earthquake?

No offense FBI114, but I've been to New Jersey it's not exactly paradise. Anyway, let's keep this thread for SMIC updates and questions.
