Message	first i think they look nice.. i was expecting a price lower towards the estimated 700 mark but i understand it all depends on who makes them and how. Now Ash heres my Q's.. 1) whats the pricing for the guys who origionally purchased your massives during the first groupbuy and were promised a discount on the piping? [ http://ashspecz.com/gallery/development/development.htm# ] 2) next i was kinda thrown by the change in your first setup with brackets made for the turbos? was this somthing you did specifically for your car. I see only one pipe per side is taperred down to mount the the turbo flange on the comp outlet. but what happend to you idea of making the bracket and redesigning the pipe for the turbo comp inlet? heres a pic for reference. im not knocking you in anyway here im just curious as to by the design has changed? last Q i would rather order tbolt clamps and use them instead of the worm clamps.. any chance in cancelling out the cost of the worms? please let me know thanks again ~Matt~ been a member ever since i owned my 1st 300zx i love twinturbo.net thanks guys ">
