custom I/C piping...right now I have a set I made myself that kinda fits, but its so close quarters that I am really not comfortable driving around with it as is, or rather on any trip over 20 miles or so since I seem to be having a few issues with it and my engine bay configuration, just checking before I go back to messing with it next week

It all depends on what kind of material you want. Just call James and leave a message for him. 727-561-9440 He can do anything you could possibly want. If aluminum is in your budget id recommend it. James aluminum work is the best ive ever seen

I can vouch for race related's fab work as well. They fabbed a piece for my turbo kit that looked better than the rest of the kit

Hey jdk do you have pics of the piping under the car? Like how the whole exhaust is ran all the way to the mid-pipe?

Also if you dont mind how much/for what did they charge you?

Also you think we could meet up, because i would really like to check the hp kit out as i'm planning on buying one/Making my own that.... looks nothing like theirs of course

Thanks.

He is doing my car right now and it is coming out amazing. Aluminum I/C piping and building a stainless top mount manifold from scratch. The welds are top notch. Cant wait to get it back and post pictures.

yes, I did my piping myself, but I have a 20g on a hahn manifold meant for a 2.0 DOHC mounted on my SRT engine and the 2.4 swap dramatically changes the available space in the engine bay to run this crap, and my Mitsu Mirage alternator and Ford Escort/Mustang ignition system doesnt help since I have to mount an external crank pickup sensor that gets in the way of all this...and for this setup I have to have my turbo facing opposite as it was on the 96 sebring engine I had before...in other words its a giant PITA that will never fit any car other than mine, but I'll call and see what I can get as far as price goes...thanks guys

I don't have any pics unfortunately of that particular part, and I sold the car, so it's somewhere in Texas now

There is so little clearance in Cobra engine bays there is a very set number of ways you can do things though.. But I sure wouldnt copy HP's design if I was going from scratch.
