No pics to show you but the colors were very nice. The shiny black was sweet, as well as the silver as the powercoater did a textured finish that matched the stock boxs pretty well.

I have the flat black on mine and its nice!

You feel a big difference? I'm considering the silver powder coated setup.

Check my previous post with photos of me running BOTH the CODE III and the LET. I have the Gloss Black and its "faster" than the dull powder coat black

where is your previous post? in this post, do you share how you are running both such as what parts are necessary to adapt the LET to the stock splitter or whatever you did?

I did hear that, but then again, I also heard "default" is the fastest color.

No extra parts other than the use of the Code III and the stock splitter (not the 55 one) and stainless steel hose clamps 2 3/4 to 3 1/2. I used the LET boots on the LET intake and attached to the CODE III and stock intake!! I purchased nothing else. The sound is less subdued than the Code III alone BUT more than just running the LET which is quieter than the Code III alone.

I'd post up a picture of mine, but my interweb is down at home so I'm using the computer at the library.

IIRC, that was a 'custom' one-off with smaller diameter tubing so he could run the C3P intake with it. Anyone have pics of the regular version? Ideally in the "default" color w/ the front engine cover on... if that's not too much to ask

Erik is the one to talk to about an update of getting those out. Seems there are some issues getting them from the supplier that made them. I won't get into specifics but Erik should update everyone personally.

Ah I didn't realize it was straight tubes with a panel on top of them, I thought it had some kind of mini airbox.

I finally got my air intake from LET. Came in a big box full of from LET TX. Here's my outta the box impression... Air induction tubes look good from the outside. Welds look okay. Inside of the air induction tubes had a bunch of metal shavings stuck on the walls of the tube. I rinsed those metal shavings out with water. Later on, I'll take a NEW toilet scrub brush and clean it more. WARNING: You do not want any metal shavings to get into the supercharger. Biggest issue I have with mine is it's the wrong color. I ordered a flat black intake; even spoke to Jerry on the phone to confirm my color choice. Anybody else get the wrong color? The one I got is "titanium grey." Maybe that's the default color. I'll take pics later on...

No, you ordered "blue", but failed to provide me with a blue sample. The color you got was the default color we discussed on the phone. If I misunderstood you, or you misunderstood the color, then I'm sorry.

I have a flat black unit in my hands if you want it. Just ship the others back. If that's what you want to do, then please email me and I'll get the black tubes shipped today.

Could you post a pic of it, I'm interested in the intake in that color.
Maybe we could work something out.

I could have sworn that I said flat black on the phone when Jerry called me. Anyways, the default color won't match anything under my hood since all of my pieces have been black CF overlayed. I'd prefer the flat black, or even gloss black if you have it. I'll put it back in the box and ship it back...
