Reg finally broke down

It's usually no more than $20 for a 4ft length of pipe in different bends. They don't make the pipe for you, you just get it and cut it up to work for you and have it welded or connected with couplers. I'd say you could do front mount piping and welding for around $150-$200.

I ended up buying this kit from a member on MSF on the cheap:

I also ended up buying a juggernaught differential dual mount and a rear engine mount. This is turning into quite the expensive "update" lol.

Update 4 ?

Parts have arrived:

✓ CX Racing Front Mount Intercooler
✓ Sure Ram Intake
✓ CP-e Turbo Inlet
✓ PTP Fuel Pump Internals
CP-e Downpipe + High Flow Cat

I changed up my build quite a bit. Going to be installing everything this weekend if the downpipe comes in and I can get some time in Don's Grid 1 Garage. I want to get my fuel pump done ASAP because it needs time to break in, then the new intake and intercooler, then back to the shop for the downpipe. Afterwards I will install the tune that I have pre loaded onto my accessport. Hopefully I will be done this weekend, if not it will be done next weekend.

It's not that he was an ### or anything, just the fact that my tune was so jacked up by the time I left there and I still had to pay and barely be able to drive my car home, and that he messed up the settings on my TB. Dan was there during the tuning too, and they were pissing Dan off with all this though haha, he was surprised I kept my cool and he was about to lose his lol.

Tune the car yourself Eric. Read up on MSF about tuning and you'll be fine. Mac honestly doesn't really know shit about our cars from what i've seen. with the help of msf you can get your car tuned better than ANY shop in CO can do. plus it'd be cheaper.

Sounds like i'm getting some competition for when my car is done...which as of now...need an oil cooler and time to get the motor installed

Did you get your downpipe yet man?

Regulator · Postby **Regulator** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 9:14

I'm still waiting for the downpipe to arrive. It should be here sometime this week, but I won't know till the UPS tracking number activates.

In the meantime I have my tune loaded up on my accessport and all other bolt on's are just sitting around waiting to be installed. Slow car is slow.

Just got a response from the vendor. More delays:

Just got off of the phone with CP-E, they are still experiencing production delays. They stated that they had reset their pipe bending jig to make a production run only to find out that there was a shortage of tubing. The went on to say that the tubing will arrive by the end of this week, but that it would still be one to two weeks before your order will actually be ready to ship.

Id order from somewhere else but it would take 1 or 2 weeks to get the part. Looks like I'm stuck.

Just get it all together before June 15th's HPR day. Hard to find a better way to break in parts and get full enjoyment out of them than opening up the car on on the track. But yeh, waiting on parts that you've already paid for, is never fun.

Got a picture? By this time I could have built you one...

BTW, a large part of the delays behind anything fabricated right now is the cost of metal is through the roof, making those who buy metal (like me) wait as long as possible before placing an order, especially a small one.
