This is great news for everyone who needs a larger integrated downpipe for a hot air.
I had to spend alot of money($850) to have a custom 2 1/2 integated downpipe built last June. I chose to go with the 2 1/2 downpipe because there is no advantage to a 3 inch with the stock or TA33C turbo. The outlet from the stock turbo housing is 2 inches. The price of the new Gbody hot air downpipe is just awesome. Even if you have to put a few dents in the new pownpipe in order to stop any banging on the A-frame the cost versus benefit will be completly outstanding. The use of the flange on the downpipe is great because you eliminate the 2 inch diameter stinking turbo elbow.
Thanks Brian for stepping up and helping the Hot Air community. Brad

Awesome, now just have to get you guys to do headers and up pipe and we'll be able to keep doing mods to our cars as well. Like I said we seen these at Osceola and was very impressed with the items. Nice work, thanks for your support of the hot air cars.

We'll see how the intercooled system sells & the down pipe. If they do well we will build more products.
We started doing this when we were in PA., but ESP said they were building them,so we didn't persue it.
We haven't for gotten about you guys. Just don't forget about us because we have to get alot built to keep prices down.
I've already sent someone your way concerning the 3 inch down pipe. Esp used to make a couple of things but lately their service kind of bites. Do you have a catalog available. I would love to have one so I can give more of my hot air brothers info. If not I will keep giving them your web site. Thanks again for the support, it's nice to know someone realizes we have a hobby to support as well. What are the intercooler systems for though
YOU don't need an intercooler to be fast!:tongue:

We are basically reproducing the Spearco set up that use to be produced by them.
You don't have to be ICed to go fast but It never slowed a hot air down either
We have an 84 GN coming down in November from MD. to install the IC kit & 3" down pipe. We'll take plenty of pics & stats on the install & improvement.
We will also & have already produced an 84/5 upper & lower radiator pipe set up as well. More looks then fuction.
Header will be developed depending on sales.

I would love to see more HA headers on the market. I've been scared to buy postons after all the bad reviews I've gotten. If you put out headers, I'd be down for a set, and a new crossover!
Brian, Is the intercooler kit going to come with a intercooler? Will there be a option to buy only the adapters, hardware, and tubing,.. and not the intercooler, if so desired? What I'm getting at is: The spearco kits just had the front mount that came with it, correct? If we wanted to opt to use a 86/7 factory location intercooler, we wouldn't have to buy the front mount.
Also, Is it true that with the spearco kit you couldn't use your cruise control because the tubing blocked the linkage? If so, can that be corrected?

Your heads shipped today. Had the originals AC delco plugs still in them!!!
We will have piping that you can modify to a stock location. I just figured front mount on a H/A is bad a** :biggrin:
Cruise will be able to be used with this set up as well.
As far as not buying The IC we are producing a very efficient IC but I'm sure if you didn't want it we could work out another option.
