Default HIFLO manifolds and cross-over are in!

I got my cross-over and manifolds today, they are very good quality and it has black coating. They probably flow pretty well, but there is one problem I found already, once you mount up the exhaust housing it will not have enough clearence from the stock radiator to mount the downpipe, especially mine that 4". Iam going to take some pics so you guys can give ma a hand and take a look at it. I need to do a search and see how the others did it. Ill post pics as soon as my digi-camera charges.

If parts/kits are trickling in... and they have jigs to mass produce stuff then this doesn't seem like such a dark picture after all.


Hopefully the low-priced turbo kits sitting on shelves will be a reality soon.

John, inconel heat shield and other parts will go out next week.

Yes, your radiator stock location is an issue.. how about I send you a highly polished radiator relocation top plate free of charge?

p.s. you will thank me for the switch to black coating. while silver looks great before putting on the car, it always fades quickly and looks like ****. it also doesnt work as well as this black coating. thats why we decided it is unacceptable.

Cool Bill, I would love that radiator relocation, how does it work? It moves the radiator to the drivers side more?
the coating is not a big deal, I thinks it looks meanner, the biggest things are the missing clamps and my wastegate is a Vband and it wont fit on the manifold.

No, being able to fill orders on time and ship em on time is the road to gaining trust again. Sure they are piecing these kits together now, but after how long. It's going to be a long road for hi flo to travel down to redeeming themselves. Marco still hasn't personally tried to calm his currents customer's nerves down at all....

Glad you guys are finally getting something, hope it turns out well for you hi flo customers

Everyone knows that, theres no point of rehashing it over and over and debating over it. IOf course I know filling orders on time is crucial, and what we did was not great. Theres no point of rehashing it until we start our new sales plan and i prove you wrong.

I'm glad your getting things out to customers, even though it has taken many months. Good job Bill, better late than never.
