Wasn't sure if you wanted me to reply to the email or on the forum. Please continue to put me on the GB list. At this price, a few weeks wait is worth it!

If you feel comfortable doing the FMIC, doing the boost tubes will be easy. 
Advantage is freer flow of air on both sides. I found it all went much easier since the front of the car was on ramps, jack stands would work just as well.
Did both tubes as well as installing the M7 piece for the H2O temp sensor at the same time.
As usual costs will vary depending on which tubes you opt for. MINI MADNESS makes a short section of metal pipe to install in the HOT side OEM tube, it eliminates the "muffler" section, that will save you some bucks. HERE IS A LINK

I guess it's too late anyway since I ordered mine.What's the story on the M7 Temp sensor piece? Is that a good mod to do at the same time?

I went with NM because I wanted a clean look. Not saying silicone isn't a clean look but to me metal just is. I debated long and hard between alta and NM. That delete pipe was a no brainer NOT to get because the cost to me was way to high. Just my opinion. Ill post photos after my install of the intercooler and NM tubing is done

Since I have an auto, I am gonna stick just with my 2.5" magnaflow(got my muffler and tips) with 2nd cat delete(resonator is off). I wanted a DP but I will be limited to a tune. Jerry at NM said I can go between a Stage 1 and Stage 2. But look forward to the video of your exhaust on one of these threads!

I've also heard rumors that my car club buddies are trying to put together a fund to split the cost of the DDMWorks exhaust I want for my BDay (Apr 2)...
Should be an interesting spring!

Wow! what a response. With pre-orders and a couple of large wholesale orders, we're oversold! As we said in the OP, we're going to deliver the coolers immediately at the end of the group buy, on March 1. Because of a run on Helix intercoolers, we're going to have to scramble and make more. Those of you who had deposits in before this weekend (the first 20) will get delivery as scheduled.
If your deposit has already been processed, you will be receiving one of the 20 we have at the 30 intercooler rate: with free shipping at the extra special price of $579 instead of $599. We will also honor this special price for any orders that we receive between now and March 1st, but delivery will not be immediate. We have placed the core order, and have told our welder to prime and pump his machine so we can have them really soon.
Don't let this stop you from placing a deposit for the $579 price though. Once the group buy is over on March 1st, the price will go back up to $749. So, if you don't mind waiting a few extra weeks, the deal can still be had.

Good deal. I think I was the second person to deposit money :P Can I go ahead and pay the difference now?
