I can't beleive they want $250 for this!

[notfred]

Damn rip off! :|

oh well, I'm gonna buy it anyway, cause they're the only ones who make one...

 

[TallBill]

wtf is that?

 

[PsychoAndy]

is that an open header?


EDIT:
/start shameless plug

you could buy a brand new weatherproof kodak dc5000 from me for that much

/end shameless plug

 

[cx32m4]

air intake?

 

[yakko]

Why don't you just make one?

 

[fastz28]

air hose to the supercharger?

I thought mustang parts are cheap. :Q

 

[OutHouse]

wtf is that? Fuel Line??

<< Why don't you just make one? >>



That's exactly what I was thinking...there's a million scrap yards out there with spare part and I *know* you have tools

 

[Lars]

$250 ? :Q

yep, that's what it is. I don't know what you consider "cheap" they seem expensive to me

I already have a Kodak digital camera (DC3400)

I'd make one if I had the equpment... unfortunately, it would cost a fair bit more than $250.

 

[fastz28]

It's harder than you think. Those parts are very precise, the engine compartment is pretty tight, every curve on that air intake is placed just right. He doesn't have those tool.

 

[Miramonti]

Its hard to believe there can be only one source for that sucker! The profit has got to be so high that lotsa companies would be all over it.

Why would you need one of those....it looks like something with the intake, and doesn't exactly look like something that needs replacing too often...is it for a mod?



edit: ok I just read your post about it...cool...have you checked any online jyards to get one "used"?

The stock one is this flimsy peice of crap rubber tube that doesn't flow worth crap. The big giant fat metal one that sticks down into the fender is good for 2lbs more boost.

Man, watch for detonation, do you already have forged pistons?

yep, all the 5.0s had forged pistons until 93, when they switched them to hypereutetic (I cant spell that word).

A peice of exhaust pipe, radiator hose, and clamps and bam you just saved $250.

If you can fabricate and install the pipe using those materials and NOT have to carry your engine home in a box, kudos to you.

 

[atom]

WTH even getting an exhaust fabrication shop to custom make you that piece would probably be less than that. My friend got the entire intercooler piping for his Integra custom fabricated for less than $250. And thats a lot more piping than that one small piece. Don't get reamed............

Uhh lots of turbo/supercharge cars are doing just that. What do you think it is that he would be paying $250 for? Its just a peice of pipe, rubber hoses, and some clamps.

nice little how too

If they hold up in his 13sec minivan and 12sec plymouth acclaim I think they will work in most.
