Default WTB: Hard Pipes

I need a set of these pretty quick, anyone got a set they can part with? I really dont need the set with a Godzilla BOV or anything, dont care if they are polished or not, etc. At this point I am willing to check out just about anything.

I know that Lindsey, SFR, et al sell these but I am not dropping 400 bucks on them.

We sell ours for $349 with silicone hoses and clamps. We can sell them for $279 if you want to get your own hoses and clamps.We also made a change to the piping.The intercooler to TB mild has a gradual flare so that it mates up with the throttlebody perfectly.We should have some new pictures up on the website real soon.

Tim, are they polished? I am going to powdercoat them so I would prefer not. Let me know a price minus the polish (if there is a difference) and I can order today.

They have a silver finish.Polishing is extra.

Less bends equals less pressure drop.

So the $349 inculdes the silicone hoses and clamps?
Thats a pretty good deal
The price list is somewhat misleading I was under the assumption that the pipes alone were $349 and I would have to purchase the hoses and clamps as well for another $80
Whe are you releasing the "updated" pipes - I may as well wiat for those before ordering

The pipes with hoses and clamps are $349.The $80 is for the optional t-bolt clamps.We have been selling the updated pipes for a few months.I will try to upload a photo today.

I know you probably dont need them if you are looking for aftermrket ones, but you can have my old stock ones for free plus 15-20 freight if you just need anything to get the car going...

Here is some pictures of some of our new pipes.These are for the Godzilla blow-off valve but they are essentially the same for the stock blow-off.You can see we put a gradual transition on the pipe that goes to the throttlebody.This helps decrease turbulence and increases flow.

Respect Tim, well thought out and nicely made gear !
I am sure a set will be going on my wish list. What is the benefit of old Godzilla compared to say a Bailey Billet Diverter

Cheers
Tom
