    Little update....Been working on these and ran a couple small issues. First one I good scare when it happened. While welding, the circuit breaker for my water cooled tig touch popped and it overheated in my hand and started pissing out coolant all over....can you say HOT PISSING SHIT.
    The other one is I had to revise the top end cap because of the ABS is right smack in the way for the piping. I'm going to try and modify the existing end cap first tos ee if I can get it to clear, but if that one doesn't work I already modified my drawing to get new ones made which takes 10 2 weeks to produce.
    Like I mentioned I won't make these available until I'm totally satisfied with the fitment of them.

    And that is why I LOVE your products.

    Speaking of, I need pick up one of your fuel loop setups.

    Given the quality of your dual core front mount, I would not expect anything less.

    If you can't modify them, can you sell them to those of us without ABS?

    I can do that no problem, but then issue would be getting the piping correct as I wouldnt' be able to get them right as I still have the ABS, unless you just need short pipes coming out then that wouldn't be an issue.

    I would think with short pipes I could finish it off with a couple of couplers if I couldn't get the rest welded on.

    Prices will vary accordingly.
    SMIC's with 1 3/4" piping with 1 5/8" adapters welded on the ends for oem setups
    SMIC's with 2" piping for DNP or CXRacing piping with 1 3/4" adapters welded onto the ends like my DualCore setup. even though the DNP pipes are 2" they taper down to 1 3/4".
    SMIC's with 2" piping for DNP or CXRacing piping with no adapter on ends -
    SMIC's with 1 3/4" short pipes welded on, can be straight or semi curved as seen in pics below
    SMIC's with 2" short pipes welded on, can be straight or semi curved as seen in pics below. Reason for difference is the end caps are cut for a 1 3/4" hole. I would then have to enlarge them for the 2" pipe.

    If anyone needs anything different please let me know as I can custom make it for you. But basically all orders will be custom made for your piping needs.



    PIC WITH SHORT PIPES. Can be either 1 3/4" or 2"




    PIC OF END CAP



    PIC OF MY CONVERTED DSM IC's WITH 1 3/4" PIPING....THIS IS WHAT THE PIPES WILL LOOK LIKE FOR EITHER 1 3/4" OEM SETUPS OR 2" DPN SETUPS

    Bob, this is amazing and awesome that you're offering so many options for us. I'm EXTREMELY interested in these.

    Have you ever thought of offering a pipe kit for us? I've got a CX hard pipe kit and calling it awful fitment is an understatement. The DNP kits were the best we ever had, but are no more.

    I'm curious if there's any way possible, if you could offer something awesome like a pipe kit as well? If so, I'm wondering if there's a way to route the driver side pipe under the car rather than over the front manifold and possibly move the Y-pipe down below the car near the passenger side intercooler. It'd open up space in the bay and move things away from the heat. I'm envisioning a SMIC setup that appears like a FMIC in the engine bay and out performs it as well, I guess you could say.

    Just curious if any of these ideas are possible from you. I feel like any piping kit you could come up with would be a hot seller since your quality is top notch and our options are slim pickins which is one of the reasons so many go with a FMIC, there's quality products out there, but I don't believe it's a requirement for most peoples hp numbers.

    I want to get this done just as much as you guys but not making a new thread until they're ready. Then that thread will just get filled up and unmanageable in taking orders. Crap I got enough to get me going now just from all the PM's I've been receiving with people wanting them now. Should be starting it soon though.
    But I'm making a new top end cap for the passenger side. As you can see in the pics the ABS was right smack in the way and at first the only way to make it work was to trim the bottom ABS shield which wasn't a big deal really. But then I would still have to move the hole for the pipe over which I can do by welding in a filler plate and making a new hole. But I figured it would be easier to just make up a new one and from the looks of it I can have the pipe on the edge on the front or even better on the side of it with no issues. Doing it this way it moves the whole core closer to the frame as oem and give me a ton of room on the side, the other way I had to shim it away almost 1 1/4".

    And for those that removed the ABS I can use the original end cap I designed as you see in the pics if they want. Both designs will work but I can start making those now as I have to place the order for the new design which takes about 2 weeks. BUT........I still have to design the brackets which hopefully I can finalize this weekend.

    Going to be hard also as I'm on vacation this coming week so not sure if I'll have time to work on it. All depends on the wife . Hope she sleeps in alot...LoL

    Oh and please excuse the embarrassing pics of the rusty ABS, and this is on my Spyder. Anyone got one for sale that's in good condition
