88boostr, you should have a tracking # in your email.
Jetfixr57, we don't have the upper done yet, but we will be making them. I'm 100% sure on that. I'll actually be going to Speed-Source to take the front bumper off the 91 this weekend, and Carl will be starting on the uppers after that.

You should post about these in the misc. vendor forum as well.
The upper pipe you will be making - are you looking at conventional routing through the fenderwall, or straight routing through the snorkel hole behind the headlight?

Grimjack, I already did! Here's the link...

I also posted a couple of other things there, and will be adding more soon.
We still haven't decided wether to go through the fender hole or through the one behind the headlight. I'm a bit worried about running into clearance problems by going through the headlight hole as there are so many aftermarked filter kits I won't know which ones will be in the way and which ones won't.

Well, when you guys get done i would like to buy both just let me know and i can arrange payment. I am very interested in a complete set for both pipes.

Update on upper piping...I went to Speed-Source today and removed the front bumper and stock upper piping from my 91. Then pushed it back outside. Not much of an update, but better than noting. Carl should have time tomorrow to start fiddling with the upper piping, if not he'll be on it next week for sure. He's pretty well caught up with everything else atm.
Thanks! I feel I may need to clarify though, it's $90 for the lowers only. The lowers are available and ready to ship. The uppers we are going to be working on next week.
But still! Compared to the $500+ the other guys want, just becuase they are aluminum??? Yours are a GREAT price!
I got mine in today, damn it looks good. :thumbup: :thumbup: Grant. Like I PM'd, I'll go out and put it on 2morrow. Should I get pics of it installed, or does everyone know what it's gonna look like already? oh..... before and after pics Grant...... schweet. I'll get pics too...
In other news...
If I drove over there, what would the chances of getting an intake pipe for my 82 made? just something that'll flow a little better than the stock POS. Or if I sent the original to ya'll and did it that way? Just curious, and trying to get ya'll some business. Rabid Chimp wants like $200 :squirt-mo indeed...

Thanks Matt, and glad to hear it got there! Now get that sucker on and please do take pics!
I'm really not sure what the intake piping is like on the 82. Doesn't it have a flapper door afm? We'd probably have to have the car here to do it though. Send me a link for the Rabid Chimp one, that should give me some idea of what it would take to make one.

Great! Please lmk if the fitment is ok. We based the kit off of a 91, then recently found out that there is a bit of a difference in the length of the piping coming off the intercooler from the 87-88 and 89-92. I think that it will fit, but you may need to cut the i/c to pipe coupler down a bit shorter. If that's the case we'll include shorter couplers with the 87-88 kits. If it will not fit at all (I have faith it will) lmk what needs changed and we'll correct it. I appreciate it!!

OK, i installed the lower ic pipe today. it was pretty easy to install. i give it a 3/10 on installation and 10/10 on performance(well atleast for me because my old one was broken). This fixed my boost leak problem. thank you guys. one word though, the bracket where the pipe is supposed to screw onto doesnt line up with my car. but its ok because the silicone hoses are very strong.thank you all again.

Glad to hear it fit well overall and that you are happy! I will check into bracket fitment asap. I should probably test fit one of the production pipes and see how it lines up. Thanks boostr!!
