i imagine you could modify the silicone with a pair of scissors (or tin snips) and using a small insert and 3" coupler, you could mate up to a 3" inlet...

I want an inlet that doesn't rub... My RPMC inlet rubs regardless of whatever I do...

It's trying to rub one off, a little lube for your IC!

[steven88]

hopefully they will be back soon and start shipping out inlets quick

[steven88]

welcome back cp-e! updates on the inlet

[steven88]

any updates

[skubidoobie]

Probably not until after the holidays is my guess.

[tunersteve]

I think this will be my next mod...any updates on them? Pricing hopefully too?

Exactly, that was how my SRT was with my Perrin intake and I think the ability to squeeze it a little and reject the heat will make this my next purchase.

[Trinity]

I'm already planning on getting a Nano so this will go very nicely with it. Can't wait to see the final pics and price.

[steven88]

any updates on the turbo inlet?

[MattJackson86]

Its now posted on their website. But no price or date yet

MazdaSPEED3 Nviscid Pipe

[94jedi]

wow so 3" fits w/ the batt tray intact?

[steven88]

i'm surprised 3 inch fits in between the battery and engine...2.5 inches is already really close

btw we need release date! cobb or cp-e...so many choices

[buddhabum]

I WANT

[BlackMS3]

Anyone know the company that manufactures these? I need a custom one made for my bike....

[www.cp-e.com]

Sorry for the lack of updates guys!

The prototype fit perfectly so we've placed our initial order and the pipes are currently being manufactured. I can't provide any hard release dates, but we'd like to have these things in our hands by the end of this month. MSRP will be set at $210 with vendors able to carry the product just south of $200.

How could be fit 3" of cross-sectional area in that little space? Unlike aluminum pipe, we can make non-uniform shapes with the silicone. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the pipe doesn't maintain a circular cross-section throughout. The shape flattens to some degree after the steel insert at the end of the pipe (where the intake attaches). You can see in this picture below that there's a smooth transition from the circular cross-section into the more oval cross-section:



And since the oval shape is more prone to collapsing, the entire pipe is lined with steel wire. The pipe also comes with /all/ stock attachment points, anchors, and fitting provisions.

[BreakTheStatic]

Wow, that's some sticker shock right there...

Will there be enough of a power gain to warrant spending $200 for a piece of silicone?

[Sinoito]

I think I'm sold on this. I ordered an RPMC inlet but they refunded my order since they didn't have any in stock. Then they gave me a special pricing on their next batch, but with the quality of my CP-E Nano I think I'm going to get this instead. Thanks again CP-E.

[jlocurto]

no intro discount?

I honestly don't know. From the dynos that I've seen turbo inlet pipes pick up something like 10hp, but there are other benefits like a decrease in spool time and holding boost closer to redline. But the price of the inlet is based on the cost of designing and manufacturing it, and is unrelated to the potential horsepower gains.

Why does it cost so much? Because its much more than just a piece of silicone. The little design touches like all of the factory mounting points, steel wire wrap, and stainless steel attachment points add up. We could produce a turbo inlet for less, but then again it wouldn't have all of the features that make this pipe special.

Thank you!

Unfortunately no, I don't believe that this item will carry an introductory price. Josh and I were discussing the price today and he was actually going to set the MSRP around $250. I fought tooth and nail to get the MSRP closer to $200 because even though the project was expensive, I didn't think anyone would be willing to pay that much money for it. There is very little margin for us at the $210 MSRP, so I'm hoping that we make up the difference in volume.

[booya620]

Is there any difference between this one and the one's that cobb offer for 1/2 the price for the evoX? I'm not trying to compare brands, but don't understand the price difference. ( I hope I don't come off has an A-hole for asking) Palerider you gonna offer a good deal on these?

[Rich]

I'm in, with a Nano to go.

That's not a rude question at all, but I couldn't tell you the answer honestly. Just by looking at it though that pipe looks much more straight forward in that it's a single bend and uses a uniform cross-sectional area. They also don't look to use any stainless and bead-rolled inserts for attaching to components. All of these details although small, do add up in the end.

the main difference is that with the evox inlet pipe, all that was needed was a piece of silicone shaped just right. in the case of our inlet pipe, there needs to be metal inserts included so that we can attach our air intake, BPV recirc, etc. all in all, it makes for a PITA and a bunch of extra stuff that just adds up in cost. cobb's MS3 inlet pipe will NOT be $95 like their evox pipe!

I already have a RPMC inlet but will be getting one of these as soon as they are available.
I was one of the people that had to wait a REALLY long time for the RPMC because of shipping issues etc....
When I got mine, it didn't have the mounting tab on it so it just sort of floats, I emailed them about it over a month ago now with no response so..... away it goes....

I trimmed it a bit to try and get it to fit with more clearance so I probably won't be ably to resell it but oh well.....

Also, I like the idea of this attaching directly to the turbo without as many couplers and clamps, figure it should help with some air turbulence....
Probably not a huge deal but something........

This inlet looks great!!!

[the_caruch]

ordered.

I've been waiting a while for a inlet from cp-e. couldn't resist.


cp-e: it said out of stock when i ordered online but are you able to tell if i got in the first batch??

ORDER NUMBER 001326

edit: i ordered like 20mins after i got the email that they were in stock so i hope i did!

[JumpingJackson]

When will you have them ready for the GT 4" inlet turbos?

[phailerider]

I WILL be carrying them and I WILL be offering an intro price. I will have them as soon as CPE is able to supply the vendors.

I missed the boat on preorders for the nano. I may change my mind with these because of the release date and to my knowledge there will not be the same exclusivity issues as they had with SU for release.

Please contact me for details.

Im gonna run one on my gt35 next week. Cut the silicone back... add a 3in pipe like on the other side. Use a reducer for the size of the turbo...bingo 3in all the way back.

I'll have pics nect week. I dont even think they need to make a secondary one for BTs but they probably will eventually anyway.

I think your right Randy, everyone with a GT turbo already has a 4"- 3" reducer pretty much. I may just order one for the stock turbo and get another metal piece.

[JumpingJackson]

Or what they could do is sell them cut back so they are non-specific to turbo size and then just include whatever reducer is needed. 3" - 2" or 3" - 4".

That way they dont need to manufacture 2 models, they can just make 1 and save costs.

Anyways this piece looks *excellent*. I currenty have a cut ATP inlet, and that thing is a piece of crap. I would put my money down on this instant if someone would take my money haha

[willie23]

nice job cp-e.

[steven88]

its gonna be a crazy race next week! turbo inlets, here we come

[lidokrantz]

that inlet is the ticket...glad i waited... Just PMd Randy and placed the order.....nice job Cam....
