Ok people,
Thanks for the positive comments and reviews, we always try to push the products to the highest standard!!!
A quick update on the status of the pipes:
* Initial 1018 production batch is out for coatings & final finish.
* Colors we will begin with are : Nisei Black, Matte Black, and Nisei Red! (We'll post side by side photos of the pipes to help you determine which color works best for you).
* Colors - Nisei RED & MATTE Black are LIMITED EDITION COLORS!!!
* Final finishes should be returned to us by 4/20 ETA. |

Alright guys,
Thanks for all the emails! Keep them coming if you have any questions! That’s what we're here for. So, just to quickly address the top questions:
(1) 1pc UICP's are actually more difficult to produce than the 2 pc units as well as having some additional benefits :
* Flow- 1 pc design will be better/smoother by NOT having as many cavities/connections/changes in chamber sizes. Keeping 1 consistent diameter will NOT disrupt the flow path (as much as a 2pc design).
* Air Speed:
(a) 1pc design = Consistent
(b) "True 2 pc" = Mild disruption to severe (Dependant on the Size of the Gap between the 2 connecting points and whether the pipes have Bead Rolled Ends). Example : If the 2 pcs were connected by a silicone coupler and the pipe ends were 1/2" apart vs 2". Now, throw in a extra set of bead rolled ends into the equation and you've just compounded the disruption.
(c) "5 pc Sectioned" = Potentially worse than "True 2 pc", simply because you are adding another ingredient to the mix... "Internal Steps" at each Weld Point.
* Difference between a "True 2 pc" and a sectioned "5pc to make 2 pc"design (5pc utilizes pre-cut sections to use as bends aka U-Bends & straight pipes. A "True 2pc" uses 2 individual pipes that are bent to spec). Depending how they are made will determine how badly it will flow. Example: One of our local tuning shops had a X there with a "homemade/shop fabricated" UICP. Every section of the pipe that was Assembled & Welded together WAS OFFSET and DID NOT ALIGN TOGETHER CORRECTLY. Meaning there was a "STEP" on the inside of the pipe at every joint.
* Less Connecting Points = Less possibilities for leakage! & Less chance of blowing off a hose at high boost!
* Fitment :
(a) Nisei Engineering 1 pc should fit better because of our CNC mandrel bender = consistency.
(b) "True 2pc" & "5pcs to make a 2pc" designs - Fitment will vary and depending on: who is assembling them, how they are bending them (Individually bent or starting with a single U-bend and then sectioning "Cut & Weld" method). How tight their Quality Control happens to be...etc.
* Looks - 1 pc is very clean combined with the matte black can appear to be factory.
(2) Yes, we WILL offer a 2pc UICP on a VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION! Now, this goes back to question 1 & Quality Control. Reason why a 1pc is harder to make... is because there is a LOT of "Set up time involved" even with a CNC bender. Yes people it's true, it's not just a "push the button" and the magic bending machine spits out the pipes complete. There is a LOT of calibration before every production run.
It's common for us to have to "SCRAP" 15-20 units on a "Set Up" because of our "QC" (quality control). We like to run a tight ship!
Now, out of the 15-20pcs we can salvage some units (on this run we did I think we managed to salvage 7 units). Instead of scrapping them, we chose to keep the units that were "CLOSE BUT, NOT CLOSE ENOUGH" to pass QC as 1pc (Because of the rotation/plain was off or straight section was a little short). So, with a additional cut or two and a couple bead rolled ends you have a 2pc UICP. Knowing the advantage we have over most companies due to our CNC bender and knowing what we "scrap". Only makes me not envy everyone else who's using multiple peices to create UICP. It will either go one of several ways for them: (1) HUGE set up/prep time, (2) Lots of scrap, or (3) Bad Fitment.
Once the CNC Bender "Set Up" is completed, then we can "push the button" and the machine will do the rest!
Back to the 2pc UICP, since these are not our main line & will only be available in VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION! The benefit for you guys is that we will offer them at a discount! When they happen to appear... hopefully very far and few in between. Until then we'll hook it up for those interested!
(3) Yes, we will make an entire pipe kit! Aluminum pipe kits will follow shortly once we find out when material will be produced & arrive at our door step. Once we know that information we'll schedule a production.
(4) Yes, we're working on an intake system for the X.
(5) Yes, FMIC as well. Completely redesigned!!!!
More to come! |
