Post RS Cup Tubes Available

At long last! Over-due, and over-budget, but they're here and they're beautiful! Just in time for winter!

Those of you who have done or are working on a 3.6L conversion, this is the part you need to finish off your conversion. This unit gives you much better heater flow than cobbled-together systems of heater hose and duct tape, and you won't be ashamed to open your engine compartment any longer.

If you have a C2/C4, use this to shave off extra pounds high up in the engine compartment, exactly like the factory did it.

This piece is lighter than the original used to mold it from, but I don't have an exact weight because my scale isn't sensitive enough. It's that light. I'll try and find a postal scale and come up with an actual weight figure.

I only had 10 made, and a few are already spoken for. This wasn't a cheap project, and I'm barely covering my costs. I spent the extra time and money to ensure it was done right.

These are the only repros available, and originals are NLA. Used ones are few and far between.

Okay, I'll bite. How much? They're so damn beautiful and they save weight? How much does the original part weigh? Are there additional performance gains for C2/C4 drivers? Let's see the dyno plots.

I think most of us would like to know the price and it would certainly allow you to blow out your inventory. So if it's not too much trouble ...

Thom;

I think you mentioned $120.00 the first time it was posted. However, I'm in if the price is around that.... By the way you need to post your original duct tape version.

Unfortunately, these came in way above the orginal cost estimates. They could have been cheaper, if I was willing to give up the distributor vent tube, and the compound curves of the original, ie a simply functional replacement and not a visual replica. The "retail" price is $195 plus shipping. Special pricing is available for shops wanting to order multiple pieces.
