Mingo, I am totally down to dontate or sponsor my 2002 maxima se auto for this. I am very interested in going boost. Unfortunately, I can only save about 200-300 per month if everything goes well.
Shoot me a pm about this, I'm also looking for a *very* good mechanic in the riverside-la area to take my maxima and 1989 240 to.

test is done.. put about 1400 miles on it.. there is a slight clearance issue between the pipe and the upper oil pan by the "U" bend, we're going to kick it out 1 inch so that there's and air gap in between the pipe and the oil pan. everything checks out just fine =D..
price is as follows. exhaust piping will be 850. intercooler piping is still undecided.

850 plus shipping for both feed and down pipe. the downpipe is dual reinforced
i will take payments as soon as it is ready to ship for the first 10.
we're making adjustments to the welding jig (fixture) to make sure the new peices dont' have clearance issues. once again i'm trying to deliver you guys the best product, something i would want to keep on my car, not just something that kind of fits, and sort of works.

all the feed pipes are bent already, now just got to wait for the manufacture to set the 3" die and bend the downpipes
and after that it'll take a day to weld each kit. so one kit per day. they dont' have that many people that can tig weld there.

the manufacture is shutting down for a week for the holiday. i'm currently out of the country and will not be back until the 9th. i've made arrangements for the manufacture to ship out the completed kits while i'm gone. i really can't give an accurate estimate on when the pipes are going to be done, because the manufacture keeps lagging, this is the very reason why i did not want to take any payments or deposits until the product was ready for shipment. once again sorry for the delays..

i just got back from taiwan last night.. i went shopping for manufactures there.. it looks very promising.. as for the the current 10 kits.. i haven't got a hold of the maufacture yet.. i left him a message today. the sponsored car was driven home, and no problems were detected. hopefully all the kits are built and ready to ship.. i'll update as soon as i get word from the manufacture.. sorry for the numerous delays..

spoke to the maufacture. after the 10 sets are built i'm going somewhere else.. it's been half a year and still waiting... the sponsored car is on jackstands, he wants to get certain parts chromed and prepped for a show, i'll take pix of his car and post them asap. the reason why i have not started production with a different manufacture is because i can't afford switching until i get some pipes sold so i can climb out of debt from this project. i've found a place that cnc bends and cnc welds, but i'll have to order in large quantities with them. so we'll see how the sales go on the 10 sets of pipes as soon as they are made.. i'm horribly sorry and will continue to do anything in my abilities to prevent the manufacture from lagging some more..

does tihs also include supercharger piping, or just some special turbo, like pfi or something...? I realize that the turbo/blower would be mounted differently, thats why im asking.. basically do u only sell turbo, or also sc piping...
I would guess not, but hey dont flame me. free bump!
