That right, good choice!!!
I will be going up next week so we can hopefully make a second design, not sure what Dan had in mind but i believe that is what he said.

The CF idea is the one that I really like, strong and adds barely any weight to the car, hell yea. DP, Intake, and EXhaust??? Way to go Clear Image. When is the list of people going to get started? Let me know.

this tubing looks interesting ...it looks like it would work very well with my setup....how much for the whole kit along with an intercooler and bov and all the bolts and accessories needed to bolt this right up....i pretty much have the same setup as the ss/tc...but on a ls....

Sorry but anything over $300 for some piping that MIGHT give you 2 whp is not worth the cash outlay....... I can't believe what these companies want for parts the have no real performance gain.. just looks........
If I were to do this I'd only want hot side piping only... becasue that's the only side\area that really restricts flow.....Aluminum dipserses heat, were as steel retains heat a long time.

For those that are not interested or not buying I can simply say "**** OFF" and make and bend your own piping yourselves to save all that money you so worry about spending. I've never seen so much bitchin and whining towards people that have taken time to expand the aftermarket and give the TC the attention its been getting. Its a new year, don't come with the same bullshit as last year you little *****.

Well, as you can see, with decent participation, we can do the tubing kits for $225.00.
I'm just curious what you guys believe a kit like this, and others, should sell for? There's a lot more to it then just "piping". Many things most customers have no idea about and many you just don't think about.

at $225 I can 100% guarantee I will buy these, I just couldn't pass that up. Due to my current financial situation I can't commit to anything else, I wish I could though because they are all great prices for this product. So I will be holding out for the very last minute to see what happens, and I hope by then I will have things straightened out.

Some people need to chill the **** out and watch how you talk to/about vendors and there products. Like said if you have a problem in price then make your own ****. But there is some people on here that do not have time to even change there own oil but have time to make 1,000 post in a month to bitch about crap. If the pipe will only give you 2whp then so be it, and shut the F up. ~Rant OFF
I like it because its different and still works. With him going against Hahn and stuff then of course its going to be a little hard. Everyone starts from somewhere. Thanks for making SS/TC products

Even at 10 ppl it is cheaper than the 350 I just paid for Hahn's.
Hahn's has more pieces. More couplers.
This is a good kit.
People shouldn't be brand biased when it comes to things like this...they all essentially do the same thing.
Cheapest bidder...and I honestly thought the Hahn piping was the cheapest I was going to find, that is why I bought it.
If I didn't have it already, this would be on its way to my house.

Honestly I think it is going to look better than any other. Just wait till those final pictures are up!
Guys let them complain. Seriously do you think they really matter? Ignore the hater and let's just talk about what Clear Image has to offer us!

Not sure it will, you have to remember that the HHR SS has the big air intake on the top of the engine for some stupid reason, though i believe Clear Images second design will fit the HHR SS which will fall into this group buy.
