The Heat shields will quiet things down a bit (about 15%).

Also: the news a lot of your folks have been waiting for: pre-orders will be up by next monday or earlier!

Also lets not forget some of the other things we offer:

Our AMG performance exhaust replica > fully valved exhaust (the only double H-crossover exhaust for the c43 in the world) clips on youtube and more to come.

Our intercooler with larger chargepipes

Our Monster 3" catted downpipes (pair it with J-stlye spacers for no CEL- 8 members and 23 customers have already done this config with 1000's of miles of success)

discounts are available if 2 or more products are packaged together.

Just tried checking the website and couldn’t find an option to pre order. Please advise how we can pre order the intakes.

sorry guys, we are having multimedia issues (womp womp).

give us 24-48 hrs. this thread will be updated.

its 15 business days from the pre-order to ship out as we are taking care of the pre-preorders first. this is to secure your spot as we dont want to run out of filters because we have to wait for K and N to make them.
this allows us to stay ahead of allocation.

o-rings: yes! we are/were testing out 3 brands currently to make sure they dont melt. UK: we got you (you know who you are) we are prepping your units.

thanks all for your patience.

How much of a difference are you seeing between your best time and your consistent times?

my thoughts are that if it is indeed hitting the hood, then when you get the heatshields on it will prevent it from happening again. The heatshields will make contact to the hood and the filter will be further down, fixed in place on the heatshield and shouldn't ever touch the hood again. At least... that's what first comes to mind

Is the elbow fully seated into the inlet?
also could it just be plain old dirt? (Filters get dirty)

60-130 is a good indicator, as it removes variables due to launch/ 60 ft. Otherwise 0-60, 1/8 mile and/or 1/4 mile.

Throwing out a few bogus slow times it looks like you may have gained a couple of tenths in the 1/4 mile. I'm surprised that you see any difference on a stock car to be honest. Looking forward to some tuned results.

I finally got around to putting stock intake back on. I can’t hear any of the strange sounds that I was getting. I told the dealer what I was hearing and asked to check diverter valve and wastegate solenoid. They told me everything was functioning properly. 🤷🏻‍♂️
