Ever think of making them and getting them flanged as you have for 7M's?

I'm sure you would have a few buyers!

Me included, for a Tial ;)

Wouldn't it be cheaper to do the piping yourself and have someone tig weld it on for you?

Probably, But I'm sure there would be people looking to buy it, Never hurts to throw ideas around.

The problem is that if I make them for Tial, people will only ask for Greddy. And if I make them for Greddy, people will want Blitz, etc...
So then I would have to buy 4 or 5 different flanges, only one of which is easy/inexpensive for me to get (HKS), and stock all the different ones. Maybe at some point we could, but not right now.

:bigthumb:

Ever think of just a pipe, that is direct fitment? Supply your own flange + weld yourself.

For custom parts like that I need to go in for 15-25 pieces to get good pricing. I've got 14 ct26 manifolds and some 1jz downpipes to sell first.

we all want tial!

I'd be in for a group buy... say $180 including the tial copy ;)

But the Tial doesn't fit between the pipe and the battery.
