I better watch my job. Here comes Justin!

 

I really like the clean modification of the BOV. It's a lot cleaner than some other piping kits. A+ especially for keeping it aluminum vs. stainless.

In my mind stainless only works to retain more heat vs aluminum which doesn't hold it as long.

The only thing I can see that is missing are some of the IC brackets but I'm sure it would be in the finish product...

 

Yes sir, the piping kits are just prototypes. I spent last week pretty much under/in the car getting parts designed 24/7. I didn't have enough time to finish the "little" things on these parts before saturday, and wanted to make sure that the designs worked before taking the time to put the final touches on them.

The brackets should be done and welded on the prototypes either today or tomorrow while working on the next round of parts.

The bracket for the upper pipe/radiator support is one that we definitely knew we'd need, and after just those pulls, my advice to anyone looking at kits---if someone is selling one without it, run! ;-)

Thanks for the input guys!

 

Nice graphs and parts. Wondering why you didn't go to redline on the pulls? Seems like you went further and further as parts were added on. Just curious..

 

Sorry, was in a rush before and missed the SS vs. Aluminum aspect.

I agree with the AL over SS aspect, and have run nothing but AL IC piping on all of my cars for the last 6-7 years. The heat aspect is one thing I totally agree with. People claim that SS "blocks out" the heat and while the SS takes a little longer to heat up it *WILL* heat up and also hold the heat once it's at temperature. In my mind, that's a lose/lose situation for IC piping.

The other aspect is that if you look at the SS kits out there and their weights, you'll see that they weigh in the area of twice the weight of the stock units.

While there's no way I'm stripping this car anytime soon, @ 3600lbs. I'm happy to gain any of the weight savings that I can.

As for the BOV positioning, I'm going to play with that a little more. It works with both the stock lower IC (with our adapters) and the aftermarket pipe, but the angles slightly change. I'm trying to correct this quickly before we release the final version, as well as make it easier to adapt different aftermarket BOVs down the line if the customer chooses to do so.

Thanks again for the input!

he nice job....

any plans for a dual tip ?

 

Dual tip exhaust is in the works!

 

Good job guys.

 

NEW VIDEO

Had a little fun today and made a quick video of our single exit exhaust. Enjoy!

just curious, why make a downpipe when the stock one is a VERY nice flowing piece of engineering from the factory?

 

1) Because we can.

2) Because even though there are no gains over the stock downpipe on a bolt-on car, if you've driven a X, you'll realize that not many people are going to stick with the stock turbo for long. At that point, I'll lay bets that you'll see gain. It flows nice for a stock 2 3/8" pipe on a stock SMALL turbo, but who keeps their cars stock?

nice vid, camera guy ***ed up the fly by at the end tho,

 

Yeah, I suck. I know. Next one will be better.

 

What is this A2M productions shenanigans?
