Can someone from the sponsors or non sponsors pm me with prices?
Thank you

Usually customers call the vendors? I highly recommend EPL.

well, as Tony said, customers call vendors and price should never be your first priority when you consider a new motor for these cars goes for 25k.

If you are going to stick to pump gas and have an X50 or S model (K24s) I say go Marksi's recommendation.

Diverters
18G
Flash
5 BAR
Exhaust

That's all you need to test the limits of pump gas

Don't waste your money unless you do the throttle body and IC piping as well. Very noticeable difference. I went from a 10.9s 1/4 mile to a 10.7s 1/4 mile.
