What would you like to see NWP do next for the 5th Gen?

Exactly. Thats why I stuck with mine for 2 years. So far the triple treds are much much better in cornering at freeway speeds. They are new so they could just be stiff.. Sorry to go off topic.

personally id like to see the 3 inch intake incorporated with the maf for a single piece intake...short ram, velocity scoop, but airbox not needed. im lookingat the bbmaf now, and would just prefer the look of the single piece metal housing instead of all the couplers. Im in for that. willing to pay NOW.
also
the catch can im in for that. currently ordering my block plate and spacers for my ssim within the next two days, and lastly the heims joint will be a future purchase. BUT i want the intake most of all for when i send this order to ts.

Since Aaron's specialty is machined products, I'll stick my vote to intake piping, 3" MAF housings, scoops, heat shields, etc... If there could be venturing into fender bracing, suspension or even exhaust products, I'd seriously consider it.
I still have to get on the ball and get the spacers and engine brace, haha.

1) Under-hood, Roots-style Supercharger Kit or an kit to adapt the 3.0 supercharger to the 3.5 i don't know why know bodys came up with this yet
2) Y-PIPE for the 3.5 that deletes the pre-cats priced around the same as the other guys y-pipes or cheaper
3) Affordable Headers that fit good and are priced below obx
4) larger Throttle Bodys
5) ram air snooks like the one 2slow posted up
6) Front-Lip (better then Stillen) something more noticeable but nothing like the touring lip an NWP original new style......and how about some maxxtunning look a likes
Thats it for now that i can think of

That one speaks directly to NWP's sweet-spot, which is making small and unique machined parts. And as far as I know right now, the only one on the market for the 5.5 6MT is the Ralco STS. Somebody confirm that if you can, with pricing. I think it goes for something like $60 - $80. Of course, it competes with the Free-STS Mod, which is, well, free.
Now, some years back there was a 2-piece, anodized aluminum kit which was custom made and sold here on the Org. It was called the Watkins STS... again, someone confirm or correct that if you've a mind to.
My point is that I have the Free STS, and knight_yyz has the old Watkins STS kit, so I had a chance to feel the difference some months ago. Now, my free mod is pretty awesome, but the Watkins Kit was noticeably better. If I could buy one, I would. I'd happily use the Watkins instead of my free STS.
Yeah, I'd like to see NWP make a 2-piece STS Kit, like the old Watkins Short-Throw Shifter.

Y-PIPE for the 3.5 that deletes the pre-cats is a good option why make a y-pipe at all for the 3.5 if it don't delete the pre cats it makes no sense Rochester you have to agree with me on this
it's like a condom with no lubrication

Honestly, IDK about deleting the pre-cats or not. You might want to PM Brian Catts and ask his opinion. I'm nearly positive he'll have a direct answer. No one knows exhausts for the 5th gen as well as Catts does.

It would be interesting to see a photo of all 4 approaches: free STS, Watkins, Ralco and TWM. If the Watkins is clearly better than the others, it would be nice to see it revived by a trusted manufacturer; (patent issues aside, maybe.)

You cant tell a company how to price their own product. Thats like walking into a store, picking up a soda and saying, "I dont think this is worth $1.25, you should make it $.50"
If you think it's not worth the price, just dont buy it. Go find a shop, show them an illustration of the product and have them make an exact replica. Chances are, it's gonna cost you more than NWP is charging unless your getting a hook up because you know them.

Mini necro bump.
I just installed the spacers(correctly) and I have a Check Engine Light. I haven't had time to see the code but I was wondering if this is common and if the ECU will correct itself automatically?
Thanks~
Edit- problem corrected itself.
PS- I notice a small difference in the feel and can hear that more air is being rushed into the engine. Very happy with the spacers so far- my mechanic even mentioned that it is a real nice kit.

BBMAF housing with integrated 6" Velocity stack at the end.
Could be some nice machining and welding to make an attractive and effective engineered piece.
Made too order might be best since this is the .org, but still it could work out with the number of guys running headers/tunes.

How about seeing NWP built a Ram Air intake kinda like the Mopar 6 pack shaker hood with a built in heat sheild for SRI type intakes, but in the location just above the intake , kinda similar to the infamous 1983 280ZX Turbo scoop/grill.....
