I'm going to sell mine, starting a for sale thread right now. Would be good for someone looking for a flange right now as I'm sure Richard is backed up! This is certainly a nice piece, just going a different direction with my truck and turbo for the time being. I'll link the for sale thread.

Nope... company went belly up! They almost made off with my $ and no valve. The company that invented the valve, Sound Performance, now has a patent and nobody inside the U.S. can sell it other than them. Can you say "Ebay from China?"

I do consider the valve to still be worth it even at $500, even at sound performances price and would buy another through them if I need one. I do think they would sell more at a $400 price point though.

Sound Performance are a bunch of liars, they did not invent it. These have been around for at least 7 years. I've talked to the guy who originally built one and used it on a Datsun. Patent won't hold up and they'll go bankrupt trying to fight it.

Qsv That's the problem with SP their price. The only people buying them at $500 are rich dudes. If they lowered the price the word would get out and they could sell these things like HOTCAKES. Anytime someone talks about this QSV their is always a debate of twin scroll manifold which is better. That wouldn't be the case if the price was lower more people would be willing to give this a shot. It really does not make sense to me. They better do something before somebody rips off their design and sells them cheaper.

Get a group buy going and I will sell them cheaper to you guys!
