Just got this email from Banks.

You must be registered for see images attach


New kits will be labeled specialty and prices will go up significantly according to the email. Haven't confirmed on the Banks Site but the email is from them specifically to people who have inquired about these kits.

Looks like Hypermax may be the lone soldier of the big 3.

So far "they" have done this twice before. About 8 years ago I was ordering parts when the sales rep told me they were no longer selling the idi turbo but would continue to stock parts. They never stopped selling. I wont say this really is the last breath they will take but for now I have a complete spare Banks wastegated sidewinder. Complete soup to nuts. I hope I can live long enough to enjoy them both...:angel::angel::D
Thanks for the word too.

No great loss the way I see it, it's too easy to build build a better "kit" from scratch..

BINGO, with a little research and some work making piping and such, this just proves it's ALWAYS BEEN better to rely only on yourself for performance goals on YOUR ride. ;Sweet
