Just keep an eye on it, because a hole in that line will cause a lean condition at idle when the valve is open. After I switched to a Synapse valve, I had a T in the line that I was using as a reducer with part of it capped and the cap popped off creating a vacuum leak in that line and I was getting CELs and 17-19 AFRs at idle.


I think the genpus have more clearance, but I also put a decent angle on it. It was funny cause I was closing the hood all slow and peeking in there to see.lol

Rear mount is super easy if you undo the the big bracket that attaches to the mount and swing it down. If you don't, then yea it can be a pain getting it in there.

Some people have been waiting 6-8 months for an 6758. There may be others that have waited longer. I've called all around, and have yet to find anyone with one in stock. Have you gotten an ETA?

They have plenty in stock from what they told JP and I. Its going to take about 4 weeks because of the coating option.


Good news got the CP-e 75 duro side mounts in yesterday!

Hey Killer,

Can you tell me if Colorado Powder Coating charges any additional fee for blasting the wheels before the powdercoat?
