A lot of people have been waiting for these, and $150 incl shipping is a great price for such a custom device. I doubt you will need to ship many out of CA. I would get one except my 85 engine failed and my replacement is an 82.

I'll add to what others responded to "why this, why not just install Federal stuff?". Besides the different exhaust down-pipe mentioned, 85 CA had a different turbocharger, starter, intake manifold, air filter, and inlet ducts, plus heat shield on the alternator and bigger heat shield around the battery. It looks like the 85 starter would work on a federal car (not other way). I put the 85 CA air filter back on because I liked the "no shaking" of its frame mount (see post for custom duct to 82 turbo).
