You know I won't be able to resist.

I got a foam mock up velocity stack/filper clamp piece this last Friday and played with it over the weekend, gave the injection molding place the OK to start producing the pieces yesterday. Just ordered material for the first run of boxes. More air filters in production now, hoping to receive them late this week/early next week. Still waiting on the color matching powders. We're gearing up for production, with more in house testing as well as some 3rd party testing to follow! Keep your eyes peeled!

I bought your front plate mount......excellent design and build!

I'm ready to replace the stock intake and I am anxiously waiting to see your completed set up!

I too have the front plate bracket and agree with you. Seems like he is putting a lot of time into this air intake and I hope, in the crowd of so many others, it's a standout

Thanks, glad you both like the brackets, everyone that gets one is usually very pleased. As a side note, it took me 4 months of trial and error to get the bracket to where I was happy enough with it to release it to the public. Considering the scope of this project, it's moving along fairly quick. There are quite a few people that are anxiously waiting for this... And then there are a few that aren't, and may even see it as a joke... I personally can't wait, as I think it's going to make a lot of people happy. Unfortunately at the moment it's really turned into a hurry up and wait game, waiting on the injection molding company, and the powder coat materials manufacturer.

Looks solid!

Just talked to the injection molding company, they said they should have something for me to look at next week sometime... More air filters showing up today... Pretty much have all of the materials in house now to start making these, just waiting on the plastic guys... Wish I had more exciting news.

[caverman]

Are these units going to have an see through lid like the C.A.I. version or a non-see through like ADM's?

Personally I don't like the see through which was one of the reasons I didn't go C.A.I. version.

Any idea on pricing yet?

Also, will the bottom of the unit be open so that it can take advantage of the ADM scoop?

[Jason@JacFab]

The direction we are leaning on for the lids is that they will be one solid piece of polycarbonate material, the name of the intake as well as 2 small "windows" will be left clear, and the remaining will be frosted/etched into the lid... It would easily be completely frosted on the back side to give the text, and windows a neat 3d effect, or colored vinyl could be applied to the backside, to give the lid some color and make it unable to see through... See the crude picture below.

Once the injection molded pieces start rolling in, and we get the first handful of intakes completed we are going to be sending 2-3 out for independent testing, and one on the shop car to begin more road/track/dyno testing. I'm thinking when these first few go out for testing I will officially start the "name the intake" contest, in which the winning name will be used on the box lids, and the winner will receive a *FREE* intake!

We do have a rough idea on pricing, but it is still subject to change on the final cost I get from the injection molding company. The current price I have in my head is based on a hopefully worst case scenario price I got from them, and I've got my fingers crossed we can get it down from there...

The bottom is open, so you will be able to take advantage of any brand scoop you choose to install. The intake will be able to retain the stock washer bottle if desired, and the lid will be available with, or without a quick access hole and plug to easily fill the washer bottle without removing the lid.

Still waiting on the powder coat materials manufacturing company on the color matched powders to be offered as an option on anything still powdercoat-able.

[Jason@JacFab]

I gave the approval on the master of the velocity stack/filter clamp piece last Friday to the plastic company, I should start getting the first production pieces by the end of the week! Still a couple things to do such as making some jigs for milling the MAF hole, and refining the box design for easier install, but we're getting close to being able to send out the first few intakes for independent testing!



These will not be red, they will be black. We are still investigating options to offer them custom painted to match, but the tube, and the box will be powder coated either silver or black at the same base cost, with Camaro color matching options at an extra fee.

These pieces will be made out of a material that has a heat deflection rating of 340° F, and the tube section has a fairly thick wall, so there should be no problems with the tightening of the hose clamp collapsing the tube as such problems with other intakes of plastic construction have been occasionally reported.

Congrats! Looks great!
