MAPerformance Evo X Valve Cover

We're excited to share with you guys a few renderings of our MAPerformance Evo X Cast Valve Cover that we've had in development for awhile now!
After seeing how difficult it's been to source the OEM valve covers we decided to create our own so you guys won't have to wait through the crazy backorders.

Of course, we couldn't just replace the factory component so we added a couple of additional features:
- 10AN ORB fittings cast in with included barb fitting for the stock PCV system
- Removable oil baffles
- OEM gasket set included

Additional options we're looking at:
- R35 coil pack upgrade
- Flush-mount spark-plug covers

Pricing is looking to be right around $500.00 but we'd love to hear what your guys think and any feedback you might have!

At this point, things are looking like about roughly a month out from production!

Looking forward to this. Price point is right on as well. Hopefully you guys keep it around for a long time, unlike your oil pan and cast manifold turbo kit.

Looking Forward to seeing this on the market! I would also suggest making those engine cover studs as I cant seem to find anyone that has it in stock new or used.

I'm def interested, the plastic OEM one I have has held up for now; but the future is looking hotter under my Evo's hood.

The baffles are designed to have more cross-sectional area for air to pass through into a catch can - with the goal of reducing crankcase pressure on highly modified engines flowing a lot of air. Ultimately though, they offer the same hole locations as the OEM valve cover, however, our testing showed no issues and did not pool excess oil on top of them.

I think I found my next upgrade for next year. If you do a r35 coil plug I would to see a bundle deal.

Yeah, OE metal covers are scarce these days and aren't as good looking as this. $500 is a lot for a cosmetic mod under the hood but the increased breathing and ability to cleanly route catch cans and a coil upgrade would definitely justify the cost for me.

Could something like this be offered for the Evo 8? Since those are also discontinued.
