Looks simple enough.

Be nice when they get some more prices up on their site:

Yeah... the brakes look cool, wont fit under my 16s. Oh well.
The undertray looks really cool, as does the coolant overflow tank. Good stuff, I wonder when they'll get pricing.

For those who are not familiar with exchange rates, that 84.00 pounds sterling is equivalent to $168.00 + or - a few bucks. Seems awfully expensive for a silicon hose.

Not necessarily straight currency unless you order from england. Forge USA should have these soon.

I presumed that one had to order it from the UK based on the price being in pounds Sterling. I didn't know Forge USA was extant.

FYI, ALTA charges $320 for their kit which includes a similar pipe as well as a 2nd for the left rear.

I just finished installing a custom copper pipe to replace the stock resonator/rubber hose. It has a 12" straight piece of 2" copper tubing to eliminated the tortuous air path of the stock hose and conduct heat away better. I also installed the boost gauge sensor on it. It looks and works great, but was a bit difficult to fab. Took some pictures and may post later if anyone is interested.

Has anyone done a before and after dyno? Seems hard to believe something like this would improve power at all.

To make the copper tube work, you've got to get your underhood temperature down by removing the factory cold air intake tube (this actually opens up the inlet near the right headlight) and the factory air box. Then open up the hood scoop and install a high performance air intake. You will be happy with all the extra room in the engine bay that also allows the hot air to be blow out.
