Ed ever tune anyone using an intake from them?
I haven't tried their intakes, but I did work on a couple cars with their blow-through MAF housings and was not impressed. On the surface, the quality does look very nice, but there are a couple design flaws in the blow-through housings. The intakes may work better.

Thanks

Hopefully their intakes work really well. I'll be using the 73mm SRI when one day I get a chance to go in for an E85 tune.

Any SRI is going to have similar heat soak issues... its just the nature of the beast sadly.

FWW and after seeing first hand how easy it is to heat soak a sri i'd stay away from them. Just my two pennies. I'm leaning towards the aem cai only because it's carb legal = one less thing to deal with or worry about when the day comes that I have to smog my car lol.

Ed,
Can you post pictures, specs, and price of your CAI?
Is it configurable for big MAF?
Thanks brotha.

Our CAI is a bit of a different design than most. Its set up to be a nice straight shot into the fender and we tried to tuck the filter up as high as possible while still allowing for a good size. The under hood section of the CAI is also modular. The customer will have the option of a stock size MAF housing or a 3" housing. This section can later be interchanged so that you don't have to buy a whole new intake, but rather just that pipe section and couplers. We're projecting a price around $350 for the complete coated CAI.

Thanks
-- Ed
