Default Elite Auto Engineering Visit: Current and Future Projects For The ISF!

Today Lexura1414 and I stopped by the shop to see how things were coming along with the headers, the supercharger build and new shop lay out. Andy was very gracious and took both of us back into the shop area and gave us a detailed tour around the builds that they are currently working on (See Splats Elite Supercharger build thread for pics and updates).

A new redesigned header set is projected to be released some time in March. Also a new CAI with a more aggressive design / install that I think will really show good gains along with preventing heat soak . I am sure that there is more that I am missing but Andy can chime in and add additional details as needed. Here are a few pics I took while I was there.

Thank you Andy. It was a pleasure taking with you and Jamie this afternoon.

I PM'd you about the price.

I spoke with Andy last week about these. Since these are not public yet, please PM me if you would like the price. I am unsure whether Andy is cool with everyone knowing yet?

Same here. Looking for dyno #s and price. I am also wondering if it will be more reliable without changing gaskets and extra maintenance.

I will be the second IS-F to sport the new header..lol. Actually, Andy mentioned that they will not call the header "Shorty" anymore.

Looking forward to the new headers. I wonder if they're going to require all of the additional electronics to make the computer happy. If anyone feels like PMing me price and HP gains I would love to know. I've been researching Sikky headers but wouldn't mind entertaining a more affordable option. Will these headers require dropping the engine as well?
