Scared of what it's gonna cost, but I'm in for the intake mani. And maybe the headers depending on how awesome they are. Anything can happen.

Feels like Christmas is around the corner.

And Dwnshift is Santa.

Sucks. Seems like more way to expensive stuff only a few people will buy. When a real price would sell tons and tons making more money in the long run. GL

Yea might have to Z1 headers and GTR manifold swap. LOL

Quality comes at a price.
Like Doran has said the headers will be market price to others so I bet people will grab them up. The intake manifold will be first to market for this car and being it is R&D for a race team it will have to be able to withstand rigorous measures so the price might well be worth it.

I'd hold off on the price criticism at least until a price has been announced. The all-in cost of the GTR manifold conversion isn't going to be cheap either. If you don't want to spend a lot, there's always the Motordyne manifold. At the end of the day, if it makes good power, where's the complaint? There aren't "tons and tons" of Zs to sell parts to. It's a small market, and R&D costs have to be amortized over expected sales. There's a lot more R&D for a properly designed manifold than retrofitting a GTR or 350 manifold to the VQ37, and we can't expect someone to do the work for free.

Stop making sense on the internet.

I'm surprised your not providing the test car knowing that you're friends with the guys at Doran. I offered mine up but I'm too modded for what they want.
