2011 has a different turbo and intake manifold so don't put yourself down for an order with the other guys until you can confirm the pipes are the same.

I dropped off my turbo pipes to Williams Race Services (WRS) on the Gold Coast this morning. They have been in contact with Samco overnight. WRS will send my pipes to UK, Samco will do up CAD drawings and then CNC mandrel bend a "mould" for the pipes. All the Samco silicon pipes are hand made. They hand wrap the mould with layers of silicon and reinforcing material and then bake it into the finished product.

WRS have had Samco do custom work before and estimate that we could see high grade silicon pipe kits for the JK as soon as August and for under $400 (OEM is over $800 I think). I have suggested they order in a few kits (more than 2 dozen) as they should sell like hotcakes.

thanks to "Task Master" for starting the conversation with WRS.
WRS will let me know when they arrive so we can do a test fitting and I will post the details up so everyone knows about them and where to get them from.
