Only a few emails? I thought the Speedriven ICs were a score!

I have only had a few questions with no offers...

I thought these Speedriven ICs were the hot ticket upgrades for the V12s?

I guess ebay is next...

The system with the blow off valves was a very early type.

The original systems from Speedriven about 5-7 years ago had blow of valves. Those ICs were also smaller.

The Latest Speedriven systems have an improved design and are larger and better ICs.

This system is only about a year or so old sold new in 2013.

There is nothing to see. Looks totally stock.

My Sl65 looks totally stock under the hood.

The Speedriven ICs worked Great! Much better then what I have. They kept the IATs about 20-40 degrees lower then the stock ICs.

I am going in a different direction experimenting with a hidden tank that holds water and is easy to purge all of the air out of the IC system and will advise when I have data.

ECU/TCU might be included.

I might be able to persuade Speedriven to possibly provide an ECU/TCU tune for their IC system.

You can buy BRAND NEW setup from Speedriven for $4300 not $5000.. $5000 will INCLUDE brand new ECU/TCU.. The rule of thumb in car world on what used mods are worth is sadly 25% of what you paid when NEW. You'd be extremely lucky to get $2k I saw a MINT set on eBay w/big BOVs never used, guy decided to buy another car and sold 65, he listed his set for $3500 they sat on ebay for 3-4 months.. Never sold..

Not to mention those k&n's are Beat ta' sh-it, tot worthless now and easy $50 a piece lol..

The top mount's alone new are prob $3500, back in January I asked for intercoolers, idle pulleys and trans pan, and they PM me back with an offer of $4300, the trans pan is about $600 bucks and idle pulleys are $140. So just top mount based of that combo is about $3500 just for the coolers

Plus those intakes may look good but based off all the previous owners that had the quad set up, they complained about heat soak. If the price is more align for a used set I'd consider these set greatly, but $3500 way to high imo for a used set

I did always think it was funny that they make huge intercoolers and then the intakes suck in the inferno hot under hood air. I actually got the scorpions on my car with hopes to get the intercoolers and I was told depending on configuration it would be 2500-3k for new. good luck with the sale, but a bit too rich for me around the holidays.

ONLY Wheels,Trim Kits etc drop radically in price. Performance Mods do not

My experience is that ONLY custom wheels and body/trim kits drop radically in price.

Performance Mods that do not wear out seem to hold their value. Especially when they are the latest version. I had absolutely no problem selling my SL55 Mods at 70-80% when I moved into the SL65.

I also know numerous Porsche, Lambo, Ford GT guys that easily sell their performance mods at 70-80% when they upgrade to more radical mods or sell their car. Their are always guys that want to upgrade and save money!

Plus although I think both Speedriven products and Marcin are great. Numerous people have posted about having serious time delays and/or delivery problems with them. I believe Sean waited an enormous amount of time to receive his mods. Some guys are even threatening legal action against them for non-delivery. This unfortunately will have a chilling effect and prevent many buyers from sending $4-$5K to them.

This is a 2013 IC Kit and is the latest version from Speedriven it is all boxed up and can be in your hands today! Being able to get the IC kit immediately is a serious plus for many people who like myself hate to wait and want everything yesterday... Plus you save money!!

Save $$$ lol the filters are trashed, the Scorpions are worthless, better suited to venting your laundry rooms dryers heat outside. The IC's themselves are $3500 BRAND SPANKING NEW.. You are going to watch those boxed coolers collect dust just like the eBay example I gave you... Mods are NEVER worth 70-80% of what you paid when new.. And you're so greedy you're trying to get 100% lol Call Speedriven fellas, Marcin has updated/upgraded these kits since 13' he will make them in 4-6 wks.. IC's alone are $3500 NEW!

Then go roll up your sleeves and build a real CAI for $300 or less in parts... I will be happy to help anyone seeking parts list & how to info on your own CAI..

Yeah if you pay for it again, the $5k you paid 1+yrs ago breaks down as such, $3500 for big IC's alone, $500 for worthless Scorpions, and then Speedriven cuts you a DEAL on ECU/TCU if you purchased everything at once. But that was back in early 13' now the whole Inchilada can be had for a lot less.. New from Spdrvn

SPEEDRIVEN said TODAY that the IC KIT is $4,900

"But that was back in early 13' now the whole Inchilada can be had for a lot less.. New from Spdrvn"

Sean "Thericker" is absolutely WRONG!!!

Today Nov 20th a 8:25AM I spoke with Rudy at Speedriven.

He said that the cost for their 2006 IC Kit is $4,900 exactly like shown on the Speedriven website! I asked about the discount that Sean referred to "the whole Inchilada can be had for a lot less.. New from Spdrvn" and was told there are NO discounts being offered!

He also said that there has been absolutely NO CHANGES in the Speedriven V12 IC KIT since 2013.

The Scorpion kit is the only Air Filter offered by Speedriven for their IC kits and the air filters are wire mesh and are they NOT damaged!

Just because Sean condemns them does not make them worthless.

So you can order new and it will cost you about $4,500 without the ECU/TCU tunes and will take 6-8 weeks to get...

OR you can save $1,000 and get your system today!

A

Not based off what Marcin told from email and PM, this is the email from last year

Hello,

If you are interested in doing just an ecu/tcu upgrade we ship them back out the same day they arrive for programming. The intercooler kits are built to order. After we build them and they are pressure tested in both air and coolant circuits we have them picked up to get powdercoated in the color of your choice. The 2 most popular colors are wrinkle red or wrinkle black. We can also have them sent out to be polished to a chrome like finish. The process usually takes right around 2 weeks from date of deposit. If the polished finish is requested it usually takes an extra 4-5 days. We do have a new price for the package where the intercooler kit with intakes, ecu and tcu are sold as a package for $4300+ shipping. The install is very straight forward. The kit comes with everything that is needed for the install except for the coolant. Also there is not cutting or any permanent modifications done to the car so at any time the kit can be removed and all factory components will go right back on. Usually the install should not take more than 4 hours. We do advise that work be started on a vehicle that has been allowed to fully cool of as these cars get very hot under the hood.

If you would like please forward me an address and I will get you a shipping quote with what it would cost to have the kit shipped.

Marcin

and the PM in February:

Re: Price Quote on Top Mount Intercooler
I can do a combo for just intercoolers?(without ic pump, intakes,ecu/tcu tune), pulley's and pan for $4300+shipping. You choose the colors on all three.


The intercooler kit is $4900 it comes with intercoolers, ic pump,intakes and ecu/tcu tune.

But thats not the point in the same pm they listed 4300 for intercooler/trans pan/ pulley

600 for trans pan
140 for pulleys

That leaves 3560 for the intercoolers

And in the email he listed them as 4300 for ecu/tcu, ic pump, intercoolers

Using 3560 as top mount intercooler price
100 for ic pump
500 for ecu / 500 for tcu (1000-1500 is about market price for both units)
and 300 for intakes. Theres your rough 4900

U even see it in the msg in both pm and email he list 2 different price which both exec and thericker both stated. But point is either way you break it down its still 3500 for top mounts

You do realize 2015 is in roughly 5 weeks? So your kits closer to 2 yrs old..
I spoke w/Marcin today, he confirms the latest kit has been changed for the better, I have the latest version the Y pipe between IC's is different, Einstein
Also Marcin, now includes Powdercoating in your choice of color in full deal...What part of Marcin's letter from above don't you get?
We do have a new price for the package where the intercooler kit with intakes, ecu and tcu are sold as a package for $4300+ shipping
minus intakes, ecu/tcu/pump what'cha get? $3500 odd bux for BRAND NEW COOLER's guy...

The kit is Powder Coated, Has the Intakes and a New Pump!!!

The IC kit being offered is Powder Coated, Included are the Scorpion Intakes and also included is a new Pump!!!

Thericker I see that you have over 8,638 posts on this website... WOW! Exactly how much time does someone have to spend on one website to post 8,638 times?

You think $3,500 is not enough of a discount well that is your opinion.
I wonder why you are spending so much time getting involved in another persons sale?

Thericker don't you have better things to do then call Speedriven asking Marcin about a kit that someone else is selling that you are not interested in buying? Maybe it is time for you to get a life?

Guys verify this for this yourself!

The Speedriven Website shows their IC kit is $4,900. Marcins email on the last line says complete kit is $4,900 and I was told today by them $4,900. Plus two different guys PMd me that they were quoted....

Wait for it..... $4,900.

I am not going to say more about this...
