Thought I would share the good news of Cobb dropping their price from $695 to $495!!!

Ouch! That'll suck for people selling their old ones!

Does this mean any approved vendor of the AP can drop their price as well?

 

yes yes yes! I *almost* put in my order a few days ago.

Thanks for posting this Brice!

 

This changes the game quite a bit eh?

Nice!

 

Sweet.

 

Is this price drop for just the 8? Or all of the AP's from Cobb? I'm just curious - if it was just for the 8, I'd wonder why lol

 

aggg damn it i bought one early due to expecting my turbo to have come in by now ~_~

 

Well the 8 gets the least amount of gains from it I believe so it should be lower. My buddy had his STI tuned with it and his HP gains made me cry.

 

The evo's are at $600. I didn't check the STI, but they should be making similar gains from the AP.

What I meant was, if it is only the RX-8's AP being dropped in price, are they doing it to get more tuners interested? Their maps obviously aren't of any long-term use, and I don't really see any support from them regarding the car.

 

awesome price drop...this is def starting to make me want one

 

Yeah I think they are realizing the potential for more business at a more reasonable price point. The thing for me is that $700+ is a lot of money considering it may be months before you get a decent tune setup on your car and then to only get 10-15HP.

 

That's definitely true - although with MM's system, you wouldn't really lose out too much getting from him. I wonder how this will be affecting his prices.

 

Yeah, MM offers a great service but I like instant gratification

 

Haha, very good point! I don't know if I have any local tuner that works on the AP and I can trust. Kane's pretty far off in MD

 

Va...

 

At least he is closer than he was

 

Lol, dammit! I keep mixing those states.. I suppose I am a case example of an American who cannot distinguish geography =\

 

Maybe Kane will come to sunny San Antonio for a vacation or something We can do a tuning session

 

Tuning session in Iraq!!!!!! Bring your cars!

 

You have until the end of February to get me.... then I am bye bye for a year.

 

Tell me about it!

This was a price drop consistent through out all of Cobbs brands for AP, the only one that did not drop was the GTR.

Some were only a $100 price drop others were $200.


All of the following part numbers for factory forced induction vehicles are going from $695 to $595.

AP-MAZ-002
AP-MIT-002
AP-SUB-001
AP-SUB-002
AP-SUB-003

All of the following part numbers for factory normally aspirated vehicles are going from $695 to $495.

AP-HON-001
AP-MAZ-001
AP-NIS-001
AP-NIS-002
AP-NIS-003
AP-NIS-004

As for vendors our pricing discount remains the same with the percentage off the new MSRP price. This royally sucks for anyone that has stock of their units.

Your Welcome!


I don't know I cannot comment for him, he is welcome to post in this thread.

 

Oh hell nah!!! Been there, done that. Never again. Just said bye bye to a local 8 owner here (Hoss-05) who shipped off to Afghanistan for a year.

 

lol, I'll ship my 8 over to Iraq! ...On second thought...

So the 350z and the Civics dropped as well - then this would be more of a mass marketing move to increase sales. I'm not sure how advertised Cobb is - I've only seen a few ads of them in magazines recently - but this is bound to make them more popular.

 

You can always stop by my house for a HOW TO training session...

I have already done it a few dozen times. But I usually make you do all the grunt work.

 

If I could do it, I definitely would - but for now I am unable to. I don't mind waiting for you to come back lol.. it'd be great learning about it after I get more time to know my car. It's not even been my car's first birthday yet!
