Still early days but 1st sample unit has arrived and it looks fantastic...
flow machine spotted lots of weaknesses with the GruppeM so hopefully we can make more gains than that unit.
Hope you like:

Yes look very nice.
Qq's
Price?!?

- at 1k plus for a new GruppeM it was lots for not much.
Any estimates?
Material? Is it CF?
Heat protection?
Noise?
Can it work in parallel with cold air feed?

Should do, just position the end of the feed tube under the RAM filter like you do with the GruppeM

you will be g/teed plenty of noise/power and fit and finish will be amazing..
Target price will be £599 inc vat but depends on the final costings of individual parts to make the kit up.
Were getting 20 units made on the initial order and 5 sold already in the store...

Glenn.. that's looking brill'
I thought maybe the project had stalled as you'd been a bit quiet on this.
Well done

Looks awesome. Presumably it's CF?? How well does it marry with the rest of the CF bits in the engine bay?
Do I smell another 246 Group Buy

The biggest problem with the original was the ambient heat being sucks in from the exhaust manifold. Has this been resolved? If so what is the change and how does it look, im very interested on how you guys have overcome this. Good stuff that you have made the airflow more efficient too.
