These will be on par with a factory manifold. You will need to lift the motor up off the frame but not much more than an inch or so.

They will be stainless steel. We will offer coating as an option for those that want it.

Primaries will be worked with to see what yields the best gains so nothing is set in stone. We will address the need for shielding should it present a problem. ETA is not even being considered. We need at least 10 people in on this for sure before we go any farther on this project.

These will not be relatively difficult to install provided one is handy with a wrench.

I'm in if the performance gain is 20-30 rwhp.

I would be in for a set but... I got the problem of having those extra 2 cylinders!

They look great.

Do you think the same size primaries will work best for both the N/A and S/C Crossfires? I would think the SRT's would make more power with the biggest possible and the N/A with a more conservative size. Do you have a solution to the heat from the extra power? I already need a larger radiator at my current power levels. (hint hint .... need need)

Two extra cylinders wouldn't be a problem for me!

If you can make HorsePower with Torque without melting engine components,Then I'm in. Squirrel Crusher

I would be in given that the headers don't melt/overheat components and we can see some flow/hp numbers. I would be interested to see how they perform with some the headers perform with the CAI, tune, and pulley either 178 or C3 style as it seems like these are the most prevalent mods.

For the N/A guys, it would be a spendy package, but these headers paired with the Needswings down-pipes and 200-cell race cats would be a NICE bump in power. Mate it up to an SRT-6 cat-back, perform a resonator delete, and you have a drone-free system that will outflow anything else.

A solution for the plug wires (if nothing else is thought-up) is an aluminum heat shield (very similar to what isolates the ECU and fuse box from the engine bay heat) that could be bolted to the valve cover, which would cradle the plug wires. This would allow the headers to still be seen, as it would be a sin to hide these beauties, but it would provide a thermal barrier to the delicate plastic.

Thoughts?

You're right it would be spendy for N/A guys, but it's will help keep the car relevant in the N/A world as long as it's paired up with the other mods. I know my car with another 15RWHP I'd be satisfied.

I think more than a few of us are ready! I think we have at least the ten if not more.

I'm in before the numbers. I've seen first hand how a supercharged engine thrives on a free flowing exhaust. Mine has to have a thermal coating.

Where's Rudy? Do you have a job or something?

Déjà vu...

https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ory-price.html

and

https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...4daecf8324.jpg

IIRC those never got off the ground. Noteworthy that two of those vendors in that old thread are now banned and bankrupt.

If anyone can make these a reality, it's Speedriven.

As others have stated though, #'s are going to be the best salesman.

I agree 100% and wonder if they will get the minimum # of people to pony up to cover some of the R&D. I hope they do, but after other debacles here with similar builds, I will not be on the first list...
