BG-

Do you know how much more the new AFM J-Pipe will cost? BTW, that is an awesome idea. Have you mocked one of those up yet? Any testing?

Haven't tested it or run the numbers yet, but I cant see the new intake pipe system in the same finish options as the IC pipes, with all Purocil connectors and hose clamps costing more than around 70-80 bucks.

That is awesome, you could then I could just swap the AFM for a MAF sensor when I want to upgrade.

This is exactly the upgrade path I want to take. I am not interested in more power, but I would like to get my "hot air intake" moved to a better location.

Are you not making any money on these with those hose and clamp expenses? I want to ensure you do if not! I dont mind paying more.

PS do you have a SS catch can sorted? If not, I have a spare

That looks great. It certainly doesn't look homemade!

From my Powder coating experience, Silver is generally the least flattering color. Black is much better. Chrome is also good. I'll try to get those color pics up today.
