Can we get them in chrome with no paint? Also if and when we decide to order can we order just one or the other or do we have to take them both? Last question how do we go about ordering?

I started off with tons of U-bends (steel) made multiple prototypes. When I found the system that worked the best I made a jig. All of the welds are TIG welded not a cheaper and faster MIG weld. The TIG welds are a lot stronger and cosmetically they don't bead up as much so it looks better.

I started off with making 7 sets plus my original. I made one extra UCP for Pt-Dave because he helped me post pictures a long time ago. I am trying to get a hold of him if he still wants it.. ready to ship.
Other than that I will later sell them but I want to sell these first 7 as complete sets.

I will never sell an unfinished product meaning bear metal. I have connections in almost every industry.. Chrome, anodized, powdercoated.. whatever.. Powdercoating is the best when it comes to heat resistance and durability. The black comes stock if you want the candy blue, candy red, candy purple, or the silver it is an additional $30. I can get it chromed or anodized for an additional cost. Nobody I know sells kits where you can pick the color or material it is finished with but I like to see custom cars so I will do that.

Also I will put this out one more time that I am looking for someone in the Orange County area that wants a system. I will pay to have there car dyno'd stock and with the system on.

I think larger pipe would help make up for restriction from bends though.. I was most likely going to go with 2.5 as well, but this was something I considered. I think you have a good product here - best wishes. and d@mn you for taking the incentive away to build my own since nobody made it
Now we need amx to do a brandX pipe kit seems the pt community has had to step up and take care of our own ... good going guys

The first 7 sets I am not separating the pieces. In the past two days a few sets already sold so probably not that long until I make more.

I am going to look at the total cost of making this and try to keep the price the same for the next set. I might have to raise it $25 (sorry) but I set the $325 months ago. As I was putting the kit together I started using more expensive parts then I originally put in the budget and had to buy a couple expensive pieces I didn't think I was going to have to use (90 deg silicone bend.. $$$ ouch, better quality Powdercoating, Stainless steel brackets..ect.. I am hoping to break even or make a couple $$ off the first run.

Next run I will do more UCP so I can accommodate the people that already have an intake on there car. Price is tentatively set at $225 for the UCP. The kit I am going to try to keep at $325 but might have to raise it to $350. Either way that is a killer deal.. Go to a performance shop and they will laugh at you if you ask them to do it for anywhere close to this price.. and they will not have all the little kinks out like I do. I may not be the best business person for telling you this but I am being honest.

I will have pictures of candy orange and candy blue soon..

I think I will wait another week or two and If I dont find anyone who wants a free dyno I will put my stock airbox back on and go dyno my car.. I will invite a couple orange county people down there to watch if they want..

I have two new things to add..

One.. I just picked up a set of cany blue pipes.. they look bad azz.. I will take pictures of them tomarrow and hopefully have them up soon after that.

Two.. and most important I have set a dyno date of next thursday. Mike is helping me out on this one.. He has the stage 1 upgrade with an exhaust... I think that most people will have these upgrades so this is a realy good car to test.. We will have the dyon sheets up as soon as possible..
