Twisted6, does that seem fair to you?

Me? I don't really care, just try to bring some cheer everyone once awhile to the grumpy "old" CEG'ers here with a potential new product. 
Be safe and have a happy holidays.
I just don't want you to feel like I'm stepping on your toes. I agree with trying to get new products, spent lots of time with different folks over the years doing the same. Not that anything ever really come of it though. I'll see what I can do.

Update as of today, 13 people have ordered them and this during the toughest financial time of the year, post-christhanukwanzfestivus. Come tax-return time demand will go up quite well.

It is post-Christmas time and many people are already in debt, there were quite a number complaining about the timing of the initial buy price, but the number of orders has gone up to 14 with two more on the fence. Even if you don't like the headers, like what will come out from CP-e if the headers at least recoup R&D costs (At $20,000+ already in CP-e's pockets, I am pretty sure it is almost guaranteed): the CP-e supercharger. Though it will really only be beneficial to those who use the 2001+ plastic upper oval intake manifold, as CP-e's whole purpose is that all their products match and bolt up to each other.

ok guys, I stopped by CPE today and will be trying a set of the long tubes out on my 99 CSVT in the upcoming weeks. If they fit, then great no problems for anyone. If they don't fit, we can take measurements and depending on interest and/or funding provided, will make revisions and produce them or walk away from it altogether.

Not at all. Anthony is a very nice guy. Now I just have to set more money aside for this instead of something else.
