Yeah I know they are pretty steep prices. I think since there isn't a huge market for these things, they're probably willing to negotiate.

Can someone PM me Eloy's #?

What is the average turnaround on these? I have multiple vehicles so letting the M sit without exhaust manifolds for a few weeks is possible.

What is the HP/TQ gain with RPi exhaust mani's and GTS exhaust + tune?

Thanks.

Just go to the Race Precision Website and click on the contact link. Call the RPi Office and talk to Eloy. If Eloy is unavailable when you call, Josh should be able to answer some of your questions.

Eloy said that once he gets all 5 stock headers in his hands he's going to send them to the machine shop. Once at the shop the guy who will actually make the RPi Headers will need 5 to 6 weeks minimum.

With a GTS Exhaust you will see a MINIMUM gain of 28 RWHP and 31 RWTQ. With an ESS Tune will see substantially more gain.

The 28rwhp gain is with a stock exhaust. With the GTS system, you should see more, probably another 15-20whp. Here's the thread with the info on the headers when they first released them: RPi Headers Dyno: +28whp, +31wtq

Shop # is 1-310 212 7384

I posted 460rwhp with all the items you listed but need to go back as we stopped after one run, the temps were so high (105F) the car started to pull timing on the second run so we abandoned it.

Any more news on when you'll get to retest at the original shop in better conditions?
