Everything looks pretty badass! I kind of agree with Snoopy though the piping without that extra relocate tube might be a good option. Everything is pretty good looking and the catch can looks heavy duty!

Tell Exhaust Depot the parts look great

Looking good. I'm planning on getting the piping kit for the wifes car.

Since we know not everyone will want to relocate their valve, this port will be plugged with a billet aluminum plug if not utilized.

In order to offer a hose kit without this port, it would require completely different tooling for this one hose, so with the plans to offer the relocated valve setup as an option, we decided to incorporate the provision anyway and just have one set of tooling for the hoses, but include the plug to block it off.

I'll have details on the relocation option soon.

Sounds good mike! Let's see one of these installed on a car with your BOV and that extra port plugged.

High quality hoses though. I remember that image you showed of your vs the competition.

does the plug cost more or is it part of the kit?

It will most definitely be included!

Good to hear! Look forward to my order.

Totally understandable, but personally I'd rather have the clean look of a smooth pipe rather than a plugged port, but I might still order your kit. ;)

Same thought process goes to the boost piping though, I wish you guys would have made a single pipe for each side (1hot/1cold) rather than using direct OEM replacements, it would look a lot cleaner and be much nicer to install + no leaks..
My only other suggestion is black text on the red hose would be sick, I understand white is more legible on the other two so no qualms there, but black and red are always good together.

Catch can looks great! I can't wait to hear what extra benefits you plan on including in there, I'd like some kind of oil cooling option as well, it'd be nice to integrate the two..

Intake looks.. Nice, but generic, anything special there that we can't see?

Again, I totally understand, but it's easier and more cost effective for us to develop the tooling for one kit to accomodate the different options rather developing two different sets of tooling.

The only issue here is the incorporation of the MAP sensor bung on the driver's side pipe, and the pipe mounting bracket on the passenger side. These can be incorporated into silicone hoses, but it adds complexity to the manufacturing and significant additional cost. Having been in this market for as long as we have, we have seen kits like this go unsold because they wind up costing more than replacement hard pipe kits, which people tend to feel are superior anyway.

The logos on the hoses are actually a special type of silicone that is actually cured as part of the rest of the hose when they are made. Since we make so many hoses for so many applications, it's easiest and most cost effective to keep things consistent across the entire product range, so doing different color options just adds part numbers, confusion, and cost to the whole production process. Sorry.

The extra features on the catch tank kit will be related to the intake side of the system. I'll keep you all posted.

The PCV system is entirely separate from the oil pump which is where an oil cooler would need to be incorporated. Not really feasible in that manner, but we did just develop a transmission fluid cooler kit with Mocal in the UK for the new Nissan GTR, so we might be able to do a similar engine oil cooler kit for the Genesis at some point.

The intake is pretty simple. Nothing overly complex about it, but I want to try to make the various fittings on it modular so that they can more easily be bypassed if unused. More details soo.
