You guys are funny, I am on here. However, I was out of town this weekend and planned to posted this when I got back, but was beat to it.
So I have some additional information/graph(s) and stuff to put up soon as I get the chance. I have been running the kit for a while and I am very impressed with the whole kit, the fit & finish is spot on plus it had all the options and features I was looking for in a kit including the sexy wrinkle black piping we all love:)
I will answer any questions you guys have to the best of my ability, I may not be able to respond to you within 5 min due to my crazy work/school schedule, but I post your questions and I will answer.

Also for any of those in the UCF area if you want to see it or have any questions PM me! I will be at the meet on Tuesday too.

ImGryssLOL 09-15-2014 09:48 AM

Ha, So i'm on hold with customer service to order one. I wanted to make sure they actually had them before I paid for one.

I was just told they are sold out atm but they should have some more in "two weeks".

My Name is Joe Matlock. I have been to a couple of the local nator meets nothing huge. So I wouldn't be surprised if I am not well known like some.

kbz0129 09-15-2014 09:51 AM

2 weeks?! Not that shit again haha....2 weeks is known to turn into 2 years!

trekkie1031 09-15-2014 10:04 AM

Cevaes_64 09-15-2014 10:06 AM

Isht... I don't have that stud in my IM anymore.. i wonder if i could just use it without that support... i also have a TR6 i will email them to see if it fits, i might sell my piping kit for this one

ImGryssLOL 09-15-2014 10:06 AM

Okay, so I ordered it. They have everything in stock except for the crashbar. They are going to ship me everything but that now then the crash bar in "two weeks"

kbz0129 09-15-2014 11:03 AM

These are now for sale on Edgeautosport also.

ImGryssLOL 09-15-2014 11:37 AM

Fuck, I wish I saw that. I would have gotten it through them!

Putin 2.3T 09-15-2014 12:10 PM

I don't see it up on the website though...

Shampu 09-15-2014 12:37 PM

It won't pop up if you search it by car and then go into intercooler/fmic
But if you type in treadstone mazdaspeed 3 fmic it will pop up

My IM stud was shaved off too, just drill and tap in the location of the factory stud then use a bolt. That will allow you to secure the hot pipe down. When it comes to using the Tr6, yes it does have the overall length as the Tr8 plus it is short enough to fit under the factory crash bar so it will fit. However, it will require custom brackets to mount the Tr6 and trimming to fit.


For those who are curious too, I will be posting some detailed pictures of my car when i get the front bumper off this weekend with the setup installed.

Tokay444 09-15-2014 04:51 PM

Now it says 10+.

Polish_Eagle 09-15-2014 05:24 PM

I wonder if they will weld in the bung for the tow hook/plate relocation bracket. Looking at the pictures it doesn't look like they include it.

let me get your cx one then :)

ImGryssLOL 09-15-2014 05:48 PM

the cx racing one never made it on my car. I'm running a ETS tmic. but the cx kit is still in my garage if you want it... and i'll be selling my TMIC when that one goes on as well.

I know they have plans to offer that option eventually, but I do not believe it will be immediately.

Sorry man, that was a mistake they got fixed ASAP. They had a lot of people interested in the genpu kit, I am sure if enough people called in with interest in the genwon kit they would consider producing a kit.


Attached below is a little graph setup to show a couple parameters on a 2nd-4th gear pull. Ambient temp was 95F

Shoot dude. I would buy the kit anyways and sell the crash bar to a gen2 owner. I would how much of a difference the routing would be between both gens'

blake0521 09-16-2014 10:55 AM

Considering that the cobb gen one vs gen two piping kits are extremely different I would say that it won't work.

blake0521 09-17-2014 12:47 AM

Piping kit, crash bar and full fmic kit are now up on the Treadstone site. Piping kit runs 500 bucks so 100 cheaper than the cobb piping kit. Thinking I will go this route when i replace my shitty cxracing piping.

Jdraps13 09-17-2014 02:31 AM

Awesome nice to see someone selling the crash at seperate

Cevaes_64 09-17-2014 07:03 AM

I will sell my piping and get this... Nice

For those who do know, Treadstone is offering the complete FMIC kit forsale, also piping only and crash bar only. So you can buy a complete kit or improve on your existing setup. Whatever the case may be just call or email them and they will help you out.

Because too lazy to double check the fitment thus needs the adjustability of flexible piping.


Also can then have it manufactured by someone else.

illegal shishkebab 09-17-2014 08:02 PM

i saw joey's car last night at meet. Kit is awesome, definitely best kit for money base, piping is similar to cobb v2, so no touching, crash bar is good looking, and tr8 core. For $900 is worth money..

Code Monkey 09-17-2014 09:02 PM

Fuck, I wish they made a crash bar for the MS6.

danosrk 09-17-2014 10:45 PM

I emailed treadstone and they offer a 20% military discount to active duty...and then I saw they switched it to gen pu only :dunno:

That's 100% better than JBR.

Shampu 09-21-2014 11:21 PM

Edge Has updated pictures of it on there website with installed pictures. Very sexy kit.
I will be buying this

Gixxer2k4 09-22-2014 12:13 AM

Here I am trying to buy a house and this comes out...fml

ffz 09-22-2014 01:14 AM

Will it definitely not fit a Genwon? (I mean pipework and core, I know the crash bar won't)

I have a Pu, and previously had the Forge FMIC which was made for the Genwon, and now have HDI pipework, which is also only for a Genwon.

This kit does look good though - I'd have been all over this like a fat kid on a cupcake if I hadn't already made my own crash bar and modded the HDI to fit (because of my core size, nothing else).

I know there are a couple similarities between the genwon and genpu kit, but this kit will NOT fit a genwon. It has not been attempted; however, like I said there are some common bents shared with that genwon kit, but there are also some key differences as well.

JTMS3 09-22-2014 06:16 AM

I'm pretty sure you can thank me for the sale of just the crash bar. I spoke to their sales manager 3 weeks ago and convinced him to sell me one after sending him pics of the tr8 on my car. I told him he is missing the boat on more $ if he just sold it alone, guess he listened. Haha

Production on the bar should be done this week I believe. I have one already on order.
