First thing's first: TPR has to finish up development of their Intakes. They're having delays from the casting shop (who makes the MAFS portion of the Intake). ![frown frown](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/frown.gif) Once everything is settled down, and exhausts and Intakes are being made without any problems or delays, then development will start on the TPR header. Sketches with specs were made a while ago, so all the design for the first prototype is done. All that's left is to actually build one and get it dynoed. That takes $$$, so the more products TPR can sell, the more money it will have to test out header protoypes. The header is much more complicated than the exhaust or Intake, so it may take multiple tries to create a good one. The midpipe is a piece of cake, though. ![wink wink](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/wink.gif)

is it coming GT dyno, becuase els i buy trd Only if an owner of the TPR exhaust does it. TPR doesn't have the funds to do dynos of every car. ![frown frown](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/frown.gif) Not even TRD has done dynos of any of their Celica exhausts. Considering how much TPR beat TRD by on the GTS, there's a good chance the gains will be just as good on a GT, since TRD's GT exhaust is pretty much the same as their GTS exhaust. wath do founds mean, mony??? if so thats ![wtf wtf](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/wtf.gif) it dont cost that mutch to dyno a car and it wudd sale a LOT better

Remember, TPR is a brand new company, only started about 3 months ago, so there is very little in the way of profits on anything sold at the moment. And whatever profits there are go into making the next part (header, midpipe, underpanel, etc.). Development isn't free (header development dynos will be mucho $$$$). Besides, how many other companies out there do you see dynoing their products? Only maybe 1/10 of the name brand ones, and none of the small ones. Yet people still buy the undynoed parts...
