One of the features I do like is its ability to swivel. This allows it to be placed in any "non-binding" postition. Plus, hopefully it would never leak. But the price IS pretty far out there.

Then again, the price of the billet taillights that many on here have at almost $500 a set or the billet hood hinges at $600 aren't exactly cheap either.

Does anyone have an extra money tree growing in their back yard ? :unibrow:

It also looks very compact. Which will help out with my crossover breather tube clearance. I ran into packaging issues when I relocated my engine. This could help.

It's only money.

Sorry, My EX killed the money tree before she left, now the state pics up where the tree left off, I really liked that tree!! :rofl:

Anyways, here's the link if anyone wants to check it out: www.performancesst.com

Since I spent $450 on a set of billet hood hinges I'm really not able to comment on this.. lol

Perhaps that is a suggested retail price and the actual street price will be less. I bet people would jump at for say $90...

It's $139.95 at Summit. Maybe if I was building a show car or just really needed the swivel neck.

We have used CVR aluminum housings that are just north of $100, so I do not think this is out of line. As stated, when going on top of a high dollar bullet...............

Yeah but Steve aren't those hinges SWEET! They are well worth the money just like this T-stat housing.

XcYZ 06-15-2006 06:03 AM

Again, I think the T-stat housing is trick, I just had sticker shock. lol

Frank, how many do we have to buy to get a nice discount? :D
