Now, I've heard everything. You do have an idea where a turbo fits on a car right ? Header, turbo exhaust manifold, etc. You understand where it all goes & what it replaces right ?

I wonder if the Cobb, with there AP, is looking at this for future updates. I'm sure RB will update there flash solution accordingly and get a few extra hp to make it worth while.

Manhattan Project Timeline:

2 August 1939 -- Albert Einstein signs a letter authored by physicist Leo Szilard addressed to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, advising him to fund research into the possibility of using nuclear fission as a weapon in the event that **** Germany may also be conducting such research. He later regretted signing the letter.

16 July 1945 -- The first nuclear explosion, the "Trinity" test of an implosion-style plutonium-based nuclear weapon known as "the gadget", near Alamogordo, New Mexico.

Racing Beat Header Timeline:

16 May 2006 -- From Internet www.archive.org on Racing Beat's website.

I think that cost overall is going to be the deciding factor with these headers. The stock exhaust manifold is a heavy sucker so seeing some weight reduction would certainly be a welcomed feature. If RB is able to offer a price that keeps them affordable but the quality is enough that they last I think a few of us NA guys would buy them.

Great! Another shiny part that no one ever sees! All the cool stuff on the car is invisible.

We know these have been in development for a couple of years. Only RB may have an idea on when they will be released or how much they will charge for them. And they aren't talking yet.
