We currently have silicone, clamps and raw material(s) for the charge piping here as we speak. Pipes will be getting fabbed up this week and heading to powdercoat. We will have a better ETA shortly once castings are on the near finished.

Right on time...would be nice to get this around the same time my PRL intake ships out.

That’s my thought too. Just ordered their catted DP and front pipe I’d like both intake parts to get a custom tune and be done with the power part of the car for awhile.

I feel you, I’m on a similar boat. Just need my intake to arrive and these charge pipes to be released.

Has there been any data posted on the expected benefits of using this piping yet?

Narrowing radiated heat into the system with Cast connections and insulated silicone hoses. Just really solid basics is all...

what are the benefit to upgrade
More power potential...same for the turbo inlet tube...add all together with other breathing mods and it usually tends to make more power. Increasing air velocities and lowering flow restrictions. Think about it this way...the fastest way between two points is a straight line...the more gradual the bends and the larger the diameter (to a point) tends to increase the flow of air...thus making more power...that's the quick and easy explanation.

I went through this process several years ago on my S2000 and it proved to be a very worthwhile change. Here is a before and after dyno of before the piping changes and after (Red and Blue). Black denotes the switch to E85 (E65 at the time of the dyno). https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-f...-rotrex-c38-92-a-1086804/page14/#post24378856

It's admittedly been a while since I took Physics, but doesn't increasing the diameter of a pipe decrease flow velocity, all else held equal?
