the x-mas sale was at $399.99. It keeps going lower and lower and lower. hummmm...pattern? Hopefully nobody buys any manifold anytime so.

I'm seeing $325 in the near future, maybe?

It would definitely be worth all of $325!!! A way better buy and value instead of red/clear tails. If it goes down on that price, I'm definitely picking one up and just have it shipped to So-Cal.

Uhhmmm.. You guys know that it is JUST the manifold right?? You'll need to find another $150-200 worth of parts to install it, and you're gunna have to do the legwork on that. This has been discussed in a million other threads.

Yeah. You'll still have to buy the canister and RPM switch, etc. It's still worth the price.

I have already discussed this with courtesy. They were willing to drop to 369 for 10 buyers. They only have something like 15-16 left. I threw a feeler thread in the GD forum but, as I expected, saving 10 bucks is not that exciting.

I'm assembling an installation kit for the MEVI though. Once I get it together and tested, I will start a GD.

They only had 1 left a few months ago, funny huh. The additional parts required only cost $50-$100. I think there used to be a list of the missing parts.

Heh - since I stopped selling these things I've gotten 10-15 E-Mails per week from people who bought it from Courtesyasking me if I sell the "Install Kit".

Some of those people saying they didn't know it didn't come with an install kit.

Well, It doesn't. And I no longer sell them. (MEVI's) I simply stopped answering E-Mails about it. Not worth my time to run around for everyone looking for the parts and then paying shipping.

If I did do them, I'd charge probably $220+shipping for the kit, just so it would be worth the effort.

In all - I'm really happy actually that Courtesy started selling them. They can get better prices than I could and I don't have to deal with it anymore. I had to sell them at $540 with the cover just to make $30-$40 per unit. It was a total PITA.

Is it really that expensive for the install kit(as much as $200)? Raiker PM me with the parts and said that it was about $50-100. Where do you shop?

No - that's just what I'd charge because you have to go to several different places to get all those things and it's not worth my time unless someone paid me that much.
