All I can say is wow... I got my intake in the mail today, the quality is the best I have seen, funny the design is so simple, and I say that out of respect. I know the conceptualize and then produce is a big undertaking, FMU nails it. The directions are simple to follow and clear! The welds are clean , and powder coating is nice. The BMC cans are huge. So bottom line, will it improve airflow?.. Jury is out, the tubing and air boxes are huge, the path of flow is simple, But I won't know till it is installed. It def is custom, unique and will look awesome on my engine. I will def buy from FMU in the future. Andrew has been a pleasure to work with.
I promise pics tomorrow...I got home late tonight from client dinner.

Yeah, I am interested in the pre/post dyno numbers.
Same day if possible.
Same temperature/humidity/etc.
Same distance to the moon - j/k

I would if I could. I am in BFE California. No Dyno around here. I plan on getting a few more parts, then do the work, tune, and dyno all at once in LA.

I could do an after run in Fairfax where we did our testing back in Jan. At least we would have my car as a baseling before and after on the same dyno

Andrew has been a pleasure to work with.

If only all the ladies agreed with you, Stephen. If only. :nana:

But returning to my professional demeanor...

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! The true test of the system will be the pre-and-post dyno. I just got off the phone with Stephencl and it seems that he's going to do one once he gets the time, which will be a benefit for all parties involved.

As this is our first group buy as a small company, we put a great amount of effort into every detail to make sure we set the bar high. And from what I've heard from the two Stephens, we seem to be succeeding!

Now let's see some unboxing pics! :addict:

Got mine on Wednesday, but had to go to the hospitals early Thursday morning for the birth of our second son. Was offered by fmu for a ore and post dyno, but doing that would've really put me on the hot seat with the wifey. Still catching up on sleep and soon I hope to head down to fmu for the dyno as well as a better tune. I started the install and was not able to complete it. Love the look of the kit as well as the thorough instructions using solidworks models. Give me a heads up Andy if you guys are looking for some part time solidworks work. :)

We're good on SolidWorks, Terry, but we appreciate the inquiry! We're expanding, so ya never know :)

Glad you like it. Everything's pointing towards a very positive install for everybody.

micdee.....I know lame, but my beast is still in engine swap process....its at my mechanics, and I dropped my FMU intake as soon as I got it. My special sauce will likely be ready by saturday or Monday, provided no issues with the engine swap.
