Hey guys i just got done at Clear Image Auto. Got all the charge piping bent and everything is set and ready to go, all mandrel bent piping NO WELDS AT ALL. Only a 3 piece set and routed complety different then the other guys, shaved 10 inches off the complete length. The kit is going to be offered in many different finishes(im getting the heat reduction powder coating finish). Here are the pics that i got, if you have any questions you can ask me or Clear Image Auto. Great guys and great work, very much worth looking into!!!

 

I just wanted to say "Thank You" to Cobalt SS/TC, and his lovely girlfriend, for driving up here today and letting us use his car for the development of this charge pipe kit. It took a little longer than we expected but the results are worth it. I'll be figuring up the prices later this weekend and post a sale in the vendors area. We will also let you all know the different finishes, coatings and materials the kit will be available in.

Thanks again.

 

did you talk to beth?? pretty sexy sexy eh?? hahahaha

 

if that clears the hood, makes you wonder why gm flattened it out on the stock pipe?

 

cause theyre dumb

 

There has to be a certain amount of clearance from the hood to anything under. It is a safety requirement for pedestrians or w/e but it is stupid. I will deff be changing my piping.

 

I wanna see beth. :thumbs up:

 

now weres my finders fee for finding hte test car for dan
:P

 

There is plenty of clearance under the hood. We actually test fitted 3" to make sure.

Here you go:

 

hahahahahaha finally giving in there dan? you still have that car? i know you were thinking of getting rid of it for a while

 

Come by for lunch one day and it's on me.

 

sounds good.
btw, im full time living down here again lol, and we have the auto 2.2 down here permantly...so if you ever need either for anything let us know

 

I still have the Solstice. I'd love to get rid of it, as i never drive it.

OK, back on topic please.

 

haha, sorry for thread jack

piping looks awesome though!!! first time i saw the tc it looked that that would be the weak point...looked constricted and like the flow would be bad

 

i'll take it off your hands....for $1, that way its an actual sale and you can maintain your checks and balances

does beth know you're posting pictures of her in a thread full of guys who think thes gorgous??? hahah

 

Our kit actually sits at or below the factory piping.
First thing that I saw was a way that just jumped out at me. extremely clean and easy install!

 

i wish we knew a price

 

nice piping real clean and i love how you routed it and Beth

 

Looks like a nice kit guys. Good job!

Oh and Beth does look very good! lol

 

Glad you guys like it, trust me will be well worth getting they do an amazing job up there. OHHHH also there is a tune in the works. We worked on this at the same time. It is installed in my car, i just drove 2 and a half hours back to my house no problems, and let me tell ya this things gets it on. I can give you guys a little bit of details the boost pressure was set to 21.6psi, i thought this would be a good number since GM states the turbo looses most of its power after this, also the only way i would get an aftermarket tune was if it would not damage anything and there is no clutch slip what so ever! So you are probably wondering about the dyno results, well i will be back up at Clear Image Auto this Saturday and we will be putting it on the dyno that is without the charge piping on it, also if you guys want to add any comments about what you would like to see in a tune plz post it here!!!!

Ohhh didn't want to start a thread about the tune yet cause i know without dyno numbers you guys would kill me!!

 

working with vince?

 

Sure am, great guy knows his stuff

 

Not a fan ... I dont like how the piping is routed, it gets in the way of the engine. Check out how hanh's is routed, it's much more clean imo

 

Hey clear image thanks for the header dp combo for my redline. was shipped fast and it looks amazing.

 

Yeah it is different choice, not sure about how all this air flows but we cut 10 inches from the stock piping with as little bends as possible and the top piece is one not two with a coupler. ALSO saves you money for the same bang
