VTT S55 Billet Valve Cover

Something wicked this way comes.😈😈 S55 guys asked for one, and man was it a tough task, but we are finally in possession of our billet S55 valve cover sample! It looks beautiful and we will be doing some test fitting ASAP. Assuming that goes well, we'll then be placing a stocking order. The plan being to stock Clear, Black, Red, and custom anodize colors for an extra charge. These will work with most catch cans on the market -may require a custom fitting or line, but nothing outside of that. We'll post more info regarding that and PCV setup once test fitting occurs.

PM for pricing, as this forum doesn't allow numbers to be posted by vendors. Will come with the VC, 2 -10ORB plugs, and a billet coil cap to match.

We expect to have these in about a month as long as testing goes well. We will update the website and this thread once ready!

Chris

To be clear, benefits are looks and that it won't crack over time -there are no performance benefits.

Chris, please PM me pricing. I assume the price for the black or the red will be the same?

Can’t wait to see these anodized. A piece of art imho.

Thanks Chris. I have RK titanium intakes in blue so I'm torn between the blue finish and the clear finish.

I dislike logos, wish tuners would place them in an inconspicuous spot. Instead you end up with an engine bay with several different logos lol.

Other than that its a beautiful piece, nice job VTT.
