MS3 Upgraded Inlet Pipes

[CanadaGTO]

Not sure if any of you are following the discussions on the US forums, but there will shortly be a new upgraded inlet pipe available for the MS3. Fitment is better than the ATP unit, and pricing is lower as well.

I'm getting 6 units in initially, all powdercoated black for stealth, and with black hoses. No pricing available yet, but I will announce that as soon as the US pricing is announced. My pricing will be in line with the US group buy pricing that will be announced shortly.

As many of you know, the stocker unit is very restrictive, this unit will get rid of any remaining restriction you have on the Intake side of the Turbo.

I'll be starting a list once pricing is announced. Any list you try and put together right now IS NOT VALID :)

PRICING:

First 6 units only will be priced at $215 + taxes.

Pricing afterwards will be $265 + taxes so that's a $50 savings.

Some pictures of the pre-prod model:

[CanadaGTO]

It'll work with stock and all aftermarket intakes.

an no issue with cobb's fmic and or potential bpv

[CanadaGTO]

Not in that area of the engine bay, so no :)

[alhope34]

How much power/torque is this expected to yield?

[CanadaGTO]

Difficult to say at the moment..... I'd say 10-15 or so.

[Unoriginalusername]

who makes this piece?

[CanadaGTO]

Guy from the US forums. He's starting up a new company.

Lifetime weld warranty.

From what I've been told they did the designing/testing then outsourced the manufacturing to a fab shop.

You get more HP/torque with your setup? or is it just environmentally friendly ?

90% reused materials..... just have to wait 'till I go through a few more rolls of toilet paper.

PICS.

all i can say is it was worth my time and effort. overall i can really feel some difference from the skinny odd shaped stock pipe.
car now runs and sounds better at 3000+rpm, my bpv got an extra woosssh out of it and my exaust backfires like a gunshot.(loud!).wow!
this is another really good mod for the MS3.Thanks to Pat for posting this and giving me the idea..

When did you get this installed? Driving/power impressions?

[jspeed_3]

A friend and I worked on it yesterday..drove on it for about 60kms now and still no CEL so that's a good sign..Power wise there is some really good difference from stock as right away i noticed my turbo spooling up louder, my car accelerates much better and it's the first time in a long time i snapped my head back onto my headrest shifting into 3rd. Everyone should be getting rid of the stocker that's forsure as there is definitely Hp/Tq gained from this mod.

[zoomzoom33]

Let me know when it becomes available. Hopefully it won't be too much.

[Unoriginalusername]

haven't seen a real dyno yet for the atp or others homemade kits yet that validates the claims.... hoping to see some member results in the 10whp range as well as more options like this one get out there

[boogie]

Is this a mod that would need to be tuned for when using the AP, or is this more an issue of reliability over the stock piece?

[CanadaGTO]

Doubtful it would need a tune, just like my upgraded TMIC works with stage2+. Having said that, once you've finalized your mods on your car I'd recommend you get a custom tune anyway to get the most out of your car.

[CanadaGTO]

First post updated with pricing.

[zoomzoom33]

Hey Pat , put me down for one, sent PM.

[CanadaGTO]

List started, zoomzoom33 is number 1 :)

Finally, I'm first on a GB. :chuckle. Now I REALLY need to save my lunch money to afford the AP. I'll be gone in mexico the first week of July,
Hopefully it will be here before I leave, Hint hint, Pat. :)

[mleblond]

When are you expecting them? And can you ship it to me?

[CanadaGTO]

I'm being told at the end of the month. Of course I can ship mle :) Actual shipping costs as always.

2. mleblond

will you still get Black powder coat and black silicone?

[flyinb22]

I am curious about the black powder-coating as well. The GB on M3F is showing powder-coating as free.
If this is the case I would be interested in black powder-coating and blue silcon.
Thanks

[CanadaGTO]

The units I'm bringing in are all black powdercoated with black silicone.

Units after the initial GB can be ordered as you'd like, but unfortunately not for this GB.

OK...Put me down for one
I was more interested in the powder-coating and not worried about the silicon.
Thanks!

[Fobio]

[mleblond]

Hey big guy, I though it was only good for stage 2 :chuckle You hiding something?

[Fobio]

Did you even install your sways yet? They are awesome! Very good handling on the track. Very please but you need to get TBE and don't be cheap on it get CPE, it's really worth it!

[Fobio]

I'm thinking about the Cobb TBE...esp with the timing of its release, helps me budget...

I still have to thank you for grabbing the TBE before I pulled the trigger...

[CanadaGTO]

Just one left for this GB......

[kid_icarus]

since this helps with the intake... will it make any difference if i have no upgrades on the back end? aka no downpipe or tbe what not?

I would think so, but no Dynos to confirm yet.

sigh....
