As expected the 13 is out and the TVS off of it is selling for $1,800 plus $250 for the elbow..
Wow!!
That means those who might be switching out their TVS off their 13 should be selling for less unless ford decides to increase the price of the 13 TVS...
Only drawback is the 5.8 badge on the housing..
Good luck all!!!go get yourself one

...that's just for the part, Chef, yes?

I'm thinking the whole TVS kit from FRPP won't be much cheaper than similar kits in the past.

I guess it might not say "5.8" on a new FRRP unit either? Will also be interestng to see how the pricing of the whole bullet compares to prior GT500s.

That said, the TVS itself on te '13 is the same 2.3 rotor-set just repackaged for the 5.8 and L&M-like D-plenum ...and possibly some minor internal improvements (dunno)?

The 5.8 TVS has the rear inlet opened a bit to match the newer and better 13' (L&M type) plenum. Also the EGR mount has been moved into the blower housing somewhat to give more clearance from the firewall. Neither changes would make the newer TVS any better than the old one IMO. In fact if I still had a pre-13 Shelby 500 I would rather have the old one with the L&M plenum port matched to it because it wouldn't have the "5.8" on the housing.

Maybe they'll offer it for prior years w/o the 5.8 on it.

Wonder if it will work as good as Justin's new old & improved L&M-like version :giggle:

Well you hope it does... Plus you haven't even got your car yet ... Takes a while to make one with a custom KT500 5.4 cast iron block... Heard there running short .... :grin:

So just get this one and install it on your lawn mower for now.... :hilarious:

Those look like regular Ford part #'s - not Ford Racing.

Means you can get them from any dealer at the parts counter.

Top price is probably "retail", so it just depends how much the parts guy wants to discount for you.



I'm sure BVMP would make someone a good deal on these if there was a want. :grin:

I would guess at these prices the older TVS will come down in pricing. :monkey:

I assume someone would only buy this if they already had a tuner and a tune device on hand? Can't just bolt on and run like a complete kit. And why would you want one that has 5.8 written on it?

Not as stealthy as the older TVS. :ninja:

Exactly ...unless you have a KR [or possibly an '11/12?] which likely would not require any tune ...but I'd not want the 5.8 logo unless I had a 5.8.

If the hood is open you probably got other concerns rather than stealth. :giggle:
