    ANdrew that looks fantastic........Cant wait to run some #'s, although, I guess I will dyno once more before I put your intake on.....stage3 meth injection came in today, getting installed tues..., run a dyno...then run another with you intake.

    Like I stated before, my car made more HP to the wheels with the Apikol intake setup on it.

    Testing for the intake was done on same day, and never was rolled off dyno. Made more whp on stock chip, and made even more with APR program turned on.

    Apkiol and Dahlback systems have been both dyno proven, but they are basisclly the same minus a huge chunk of carbon that the Dahlback comes with
    How much more hp and torque did the car make before and after the intake upgrade? Do you have a graph from the dyno? I am considering buying one but I need some concrete numbers first.

    so far so good, jinx.......seriously I am fully prepared for the worse, given what i am putting down at last dyno, and now adding meth injection, I have to assume my tranny wont hold up. My mechanic has 2 extra that I will eventually(if needed) buy one, hardened internals, extra clutch packs and better TC

    Well mine is the Apikol intake, not the one here. I honestly have no idea if there design or filters will work as well as others.

    I do have dyno's and graphs for them, but would have to dig up all the stuff to find out which one is what. If you contact Apikol he has everything also, since he was doing R+D for them before they went for sale

    Alright, guys, here's another update for you.

    Craig is currently hammering away at the welds for the intake boxes, and they're coming along great. Here's some in-process pictures, followed by more shots of what it will look like once it's in the engine bay. Sorry we didn't have the connections between the grille and the CF cans in place for these shots, our engineer had them on his side of the shop.








    Don't forget, if you'd like to get in on this group buy, it's not too late. Tidus888 is still missing in action, so we've got an opening. Deposit information can be found out by emailing me: andrew [at] fluidmotorunion [dot] com

    I just E-mailed Hoppen about purchasing the "Stronger MAF seals" as MTM calls them. I'll let you know about the price & availability. I mentioned that I may be able to get a group of people in on a purchase if they have to order from Germany.

    The filter cans are carbon fiber. The intake box and the two arms that connect to the cans are made of metal, yes.

    Have you checked IATs to see that they have not increased due to heatsoak from the metal intake components?

    really? I mean, given design is diff then Apikol or dahlbacks, which both utilize open airfilters in engine bay and are constructed of metal-both have claimed to increase HP, u think the CF Box doesnt absorb alot of heat encompassing the whole manifold? I guess covertw12 will have to DYNO, cause my snow stage 3 is being installed as we speak, and I am pretty sure there is plenty of research and verified #'s that IAT temps drop with meth/water use...
