Manufacturer Price Increases Soon to Come - Buy now before the price Hike!

I would like to share this with all of you guys. The prices on many aftermarket parts is increasing. Due to the recent higher embargoes on imported metal products from certain countries overseas, metal prices in the US are being driven up. Im letting you guys know for 2 reasons. 1, when all the vendors have a bit higher pricing, dont freak out and think that everyone is out to just make more money. 2. So you can get the parts you want now before the increases.

To start off: DC Sports already made a price increase which was substantial! We had to raise the price of the DC Race headers for RSX S from $265 shipped special to $329 shipped special.

What is coming up:

1. AEM - Price increase due mid Jan I beleive
2. Exedy - Price Increase due Feb 1 I beleive
3. ARP - Price Increase soon
4. ACT, etc

This is just an FYI. Feel free to post Items you need and we will happily give you the current prices on them.

This wont last long - time is really running out.

Your local machine shop isn't going to spend countless hours R&D'ing a header they charge you $250 for. It isn't worth their time unless they are mass producing them. Purchasing from a trusted manufacturer who has spent the time to make sure that their product makes the most power possible is priceless.

Just to add, Eddie is right about the price increases and enforcement of MAP pricing.

Prices have been steadily rising on MOST products since May of this year. No suprises there.

Not mention over the past 2-3 years


It doesn't help some companies like 5 Zigen for example just plain outright lowered our discount. I suppose that's one way of raising prices....
