Just a quick update dudes/dudettes! Just heard from my production guys that parts should be ready in a couple weeks and then off to welding and powdercoat before we can get them in your hands. Expect that to be mid-late July. Thanks for your patience; we've been absolutely swamped. Don't worry though, they won't disappoint!

Since we're patiently waiting for our ft86 braces to roll through production, I figured I'd share some welding porn from the Subaru v-band uppipes on the bench right now!

Don't know how else to explain it, man! We'll post a final price when the parts are complete and ready to ship. Our target price is $150 MSRP and that we're currently on track to hit that. We will post an actual price the minute we know it. By waiting, we can ensure that any savings during production can be passed along to you guys. If we had to commit to a price now, we'd have to leave some room for error, and that isn't fair to you all.

Does that make sense?

Please take me off of the group buy as I'm getting the Innovate supercharger soon and it won't fit with it. If only the bar made +40hp.

That's too bad, but I can't really argue with that either. Strut bar, or blower, strut bar, or blower? Me personally, I let my bank account do the talking: strut bar it is!
