Can people please stay on topic on this. I would really like Rich's question answered as I am in the market for a O2 housing as well.

I don't want to start a new thread.

Thanks

 

Actually, the '05 10.5 housing from Mitsubishi retails at $669.04 There are a number of tubular O2 housings on the domestic market at $300+ (not to mention the Mines Super Outlet that lists for almost $650 plus shipping from Japan). The WORKS unit is far from being overpriced--especially considering the fact that its cast construction and it incorporates a larger outlet. AFAIK all other housings are still retaining the OEM donut gasket (or at least the same diameter) that ends up restricting flow by comparison.

We aren't releasing any official numbers or dyno sheets until we complete testing of the final production unit on multiple vehicles. As I've stated in our forum, I had a prototype on my own car (TR-303 with a downpipe) tested same day, same dyno with a few hours in between for the install and noted gains of 15HP "unofficially."

If you want e-bay performance at e-bay prices, go to e-bay. If you want WORKS performance, WORKS reliability, WORKS quality and don't mind paying a little extra for it, you know where to find us

 

I think WORKS had great **** but 400 bones is WAY OVERPRICED.

I agree with the sell it at half the cost and sell twice as many approach.

 

400$ and you guys own evo's . my unit is £450 for the full front pipe so that makes are products way of the mark lol

and i thought you US were all cash rich

lol

 

just because you have money doesn't mean you shouldn't spend it wisely. For the cost of the works unit at $429 you could buy:
megan racing o2 housing - $115
10.5^ housing - $220
and have them both ceramic coated for about the same price as the works peice... acutally thats what I plan on doing

 

Look, there are a lot of products that may seem expensive. ARC is a great example, but the quality is excellent so people pay the premium. So, I say if you can’t appreciate the time and effort these guys put into making a part that is in all likelihood much better than stock, you should refrain from beating these guys down. They have a great reputation and great products. Has anybody even asked about a group buy?

 

our evos are a lot cheaper than yours too

 

Here is the problem right here.

As whole, American culture/society (government aside) has some serious money issues.

Everyone wants to drive around in the most expensive cars, live in the biggest house, have the nicest things, and live "the good life", but nobody wants to earn it or pay for it.

What's with asking for Group Buy after Group Buy on every single product that exsists? And as soon as the Group Buy is over, "let's do another one".

Sure, some people are getting a "good deal", but at the expense of the manufacturer/vendor being able to make any money on the products and earn a living so that they too can drive nice cars, live in a nice house, and have nice things.

As a culture, we demand the the lowest possible price without any consideration into the work and resources (physical and human) that go into the development and production of a product, driving the market value of a product into the ground until no one can make any money or earn a decent living selling it anymore.

Keep it up, and eventually there won't be any companies left to manufacture product to buy.

 

It's Nice, It Truely is, But I am NOT spending $400 on it. I also doubt the Stock Turbo can flow enough exhaust gasses to take advantage of it. I know a LOT of work went into it, but $400? I wouldn't give it a second thought.


Yep, blame the customers, that always works. You may be an excelent engineer but you know nothing about sales or selling. Rarely the two go hand in hand but seriously, it's the VENDER who will lose out, not the customer, you are replaceable with MANY MANY different venders. Compete or drown.

 

We're cash rich cuz we are careful about spending money, you don't get rich by spending all your money on anything you want, you ******

 

This is hopeless!

 

yup afraid so . wife just don't want to play lol

if it helps we never see much gain with the stock type stainless housings .

keep it light hearted .

if all else fails i do credit over 20 years just for you lololol

have a good weekend end

 

Will this even work with a non Work 3" DP?

 

Although Im broke and wouldn't buy that o2 housing for that reason, I would love to have such a nice piece.

I dont think many people understand the benefits of the cast piece, not to mention stock fitment, and a true 76mm outlet unlike many other tubular o2's.

People around here have gotten to used to megan racing prices and will tend to ***** at you for coming out with a nicer quality product. Everything is relative.

 

I believe not.
