ordered mine yesterday, hope it helps

i feel a differance in spool up time, its much quicker aka less lag. it just covers the turbo not the downpipe.

luSTI · 05-15-2005, 08:30 PM

I forgot to mention that it did smoke when it was 1st installed, though after maybe 30 min of driving it seemed to stop and i havnt noticed it again since. should not be a major problem, i couldnt not even notice the smoke when driving or even from outside the car until i opened the hood and looked for it. there was a little bit comming up from under the front part of it but again not even noticeable outside the car so dont worry about black smoke pouring out of your hood scoop cuz that wont happen. just the tiniest bit from what was excplained to me as excess fibers burning off. Also i woudl liuke to mention that underhood temps are greatly reduced. this is just going by feel but its noticeable just by sticking my hand in there. I have even touched the turbo wrap after some hard driving, though i would not want to hold my hand on there for an extended period of time i could easily touch it. that is saying alot for a part (the exhaust side of the turbo) that would normally be around 1000 degrees farenheight or more. all in all i think this is an excellent product especially for the price. spool up and throttle responce are greatly improved, very cheap considering, and only takes 20min to install easy! I will take pics tomorrow or asap but i have to get robert from staticxmotorsports to host em for me so i will try to get some good pics of it on and show the best way to install it.

luSTI - did you happen to take any pics during the install?

I threw up a pic or two of the install on our car and drew a crappy black X to kinda show how the wires cross and tie off. If we can help let us know, but hopefully that should help. I am going to take better pictures of the final look of it all this afternoon if I get a free chance. Thanks again!

BTW, Downpipe wrap kits are on their way now. There will be a packaged deal available for both and should dramatically reduce underhood temps and help spool up/response. Thanks again everyone!

Downpipe wrap came in today! We are going to re-wrap our downpipe and figure up the amount needed and start offering those kits asap. Thank you everyone!

Heavy weight, we're going out of town (check our thread below this one) and we will have everything ready for you as soon as we get back. Wrapped downpipe kits will be available for our customers as soon as we come back

. Thank you!

I ordered mine on May 4 , I have the reciept for payment if you need it. I got your PM thanks for the quick response.

heavyweightboxer · 05-21-2005, 07:21 PM

Any idea on prices for the pipe and wrap.

luSTI · 05-23-2005, 05:22 AM

I believe he told me the downpipe wrap will be $69.99 for a downpipe kit precut to proper length and including mouting hardware such as clips to hold it on.

***staticx313*** · 05-29-2005, 12:05 PM

I am extremely sorry about the delays in some of the orders. We were out of town for a week and will get on it first thing monday. We hoped to get everything out before we left, but it ended up that things were cut a lot shorter then needed (time wise) and we had to jet in order to make the flights and reservations. We will have everything taken care of and will get you guys all rolling ASAP. Downpipe wraps coming soon, LuSTI will be cutting the wrap to proper length on the APS Downpipe for those who will be using that (As it will be in 3 sections) and a general downpipe kit will be available as well. Thank you again everyone!
