WTB - Renntech or Carbonio Intake

Wanted to see if anyone had a carbon fiber Renntech or Carbnio intake they were looking to get rid of?

Thanks

I have a friend that has the Reentech. He did dyno and he gained 4-5 Hp. I have the carbonio, I havent done any dyno but I am assuming I am inthe same boat. I will go for the carbonio because the extra carbon fiver you get. But I will highly suggest you to invest into headers or a tune

Carbon fiber is easy to resurface if you’re willing to put in a bit of elbow grease. Discoloration or superficial defects shouldnt prevent you from buying if it’s otherwise perfectly functional.

Thinking I might buy it, clean it up and refinish it, sell for more. Hmm. Maybe if it were a bit cheaper. We’ll see.

Thats the think... if it were cheaper id be willing to take on the task of refinishing it but that only a few hundred off new price. And for that id rather wait for Renntech to run another batch.

Exactly. At $1500 it might be worth buying and putting in the 5-10hrs of work to get the finish perfect, then flip for $1800. AT $1800 though? PASS

Still probably worth buying if you’re gonna use it though.

Considering mint ones have sold for a couple hundred bucks less, the price on that beat up one is silly to me. Looks like an older design iteration as well.

Patiently (somewhat) waiting for a clean example of the latest revision to come up for sale used.

how can you tell it’s the older design since I am actually considering purchasing it. Going to message the seller to see if I can haggle with him a bit

edit: forget it. I just went to renntech website and I see a huge difference in design. I’ll use this against him to see if I can get it a lot lower

That’s actually a great point. Didn’t even notice it’s the old style. Not worth it at any price, just wait.

Thats version 2 in the listing. I have the V1.

No difference really - Renntech stated the MAF locations / Mounts were upgraded in V2. Other than that, its just aesthetics between V1 and V2.

I believe there were more than 2 design iterations and highly doubt that eBay one is the latest.

Current photo on RT's site (rear mounted MAF sensors):


Actual photo of what appears to be the latest design (rear mounted MAF sensors + reinforced bolt holes):


The one on eBay looks like it was discovered in a forgotten section of their workshop/warehouse. Which is fine, if it wasn't listed for $1,800.
