I believe that you will love it, I used no spacer washers and still had the clearance needed. Quick install too. Woody

Looking good, I'm looking forward to some numbers (how about a ball-park price ??)

Cool, I'm going to need as much power as I can get.

Will the Y-pipe be packaged with the manifolds or is it better to buy it now?

Is there a chance the first 12 could be a group bye? If so I would like to be on that list! Maybe I should remove my SRT emblem on the back and put NEEDSWINGS!

we will most likely package them togather for a savings (probably $20-30 off the ypipe when purchased with the manifolds, there isnt much more room to move on the ypipes.), so it depends if you want to wait for the ypipe or snag one while we have them in stock, we have 4 of the teflon'd ypipes here right now.

yes the initial batch will be a group buy at a great discount (still dipping into the 4 digits pricewise). after that the normal price will most likely be ~ 1500-1600 for the pair. im confident that once these hit the tracks from the initial group buy that the subsequent sales will do well for us and bring us back positive on the project.

btw, i do have some polished 304ss needswings logo's if ya want to stick one on the back (same size as the aluimnum ones we weld onto our cai's)

Nice looking Rob! I bet these do show a nice improvement in power.
I am anxious to see what the bump is for sure.

Cheers,

Damn, I should have been expecting that. No 11's this year... Can you file tax returns now?

At first I felt like you shot my dog, but as I look at them more closely, I can completly understand the cost involved. They look pretty trick.

Oh, sure. I know what part you're talking about. I guess what I didn't understand is if a new Y is required for use with the plenums or not. Also how hard will it be to install while I'm installing the plenums? And how much is it?

ok, just got them off the flow machine.....

stock driver side manifold flowed 255-260cfm @ 28in/hg (industry standard)
our driver side manifold BEFORE the teflon coating 455-460cfm

are you friggin kidding me?????????? NO

we swapped the stock and our manfolds back and forth on the flow machine 6-7 times, same results, same settings on the machine

So all said and done your seeing a 400cfm increase (both sides) ?

Help me out here, I know on a N/A car a 400cfm increase (even on a V8) is a massve increase, what are the ramifications of the 400cfm increase for our friendly supercharged AMG engines ?

I've done a fiar bit of V8 engine building in the past with N/A engines, but I need to find my book on supercharging to bone up on the kompressor world
