New Product YOU CHOOSE What It Should Be!

So we are in the works again and trying to figure out what to design and manufacture next.

Here is a list of ideas that we came up with and estimated cost:

Rear Sway Bar $100-125
Front Strut Bar $75-100
Stainless Steel 4-2-1 Header with down pipe and high flow cat combo $450-500
Other Ideas?

Please post your thoughts in the order you would like to see them manufactured. First one being your first choice.

I would like a nice looking front strut bar! If you can powder coat it to match our cars that would be a plus!!

Other, be original, let's see something different.

You like to do combo's right? Why not do a combo H/E --- Dual Pass w/ Option B? Include all mounting brackets, hoses and connections. People would love that. Closest right now is CED w/ the endplate and option B components. It would be nice to be able to order everything from one place (heat exchanger and all)...

4-2-1 Header -> Downpipe w/ High Flow Cat

The 4-2-1 header! Cobalt's need a good one, especially with a high flow cat combo that doens't throw CEL's, has good fitment ....oh man, I would buy that in a HEART BEAT. And if you had a 2.5 or 3 inch piping options, as wlel as high polished options as well, there would be more people knocking at your door than you could shake a stick at. Forget strut bars, actual, real, 4-2-1 header-dp-hi flow cat is where its at!

Then maybe some rear strut bars second, but first off, that 4-2-1 header.

honestly i think we need a better 4-2-1 header not like the vibrant but something that doesnt have leaks and isnt raspy as hell with good gains...The strut bar is nice but your going into a market with dc sports which would be around that area of your price and i mean quite frankly dc sports will win out you need to look out on future investments....I honestly think you all should go into the dual guage pods that Mkulrey is making for everyone and have the option of making a dual or a single pod... As in like the srt-4s boost guage that will sell like hot cakes..

I vote for a better guage pod color matched or even the dual guage bezel that everyone wants

I like the gauge pod idea, it would be nice if someone actually made one available for a reasonable price...

I'd go for the all in one setup for a secondary heat exchanger

I would be down for a front/rear strut brace/sway combo. But I also like that idea of the complete heat exchanger idea.

I'd love to see someone make a 4-2-1 header with slightly smaller primaries, maybe 1 5/8", for those of us interested in increasing midrange torque. Long tubes with a nice smooth collector instead of the lumpy, restrictive mess some companies use on theirs.

Don't know how many you would sell but would probably be popular with auto-X, road race, and non-racing guys like me.

Just my 2 cents, your reality may differ.

Billet Gas Door (polished)

MRZ makes a very nice strut bar and Progress makes a very good sway bar

I like the heat exchanger idea. It seems to be a popular item.

If you guys could bring us a bigger heat exchanger with brakets and lines for around $275, you would sell out.
