Sorry for all the troubles guys... As luck would have it, Friday my provider had major issues and my internet was up & down most of the day.. On Saturday when I got a few phone calls & emails about the issues with the link, I called the tech support people (everything looked fine from my end) and told them to double check everything.. They then confirmed that for some reason a few of my IP addresses were no longer being routed to me.. LOL.. Lovely..
It figures.. Its the first time I tried to get away for a long weekend and this happens... LOL..
Anyways, I just got back tonight (about 2hrs ago) and am just trying to catch up on all the correspondence.. bear with me...
Thanks!

That is so tempting. You are a great salesman, but unfortunately I can only get the tubes for now.. I can't wait to put them on my car..
As you probably know, as SleeperX I go for performance and I am nealry convinced that those tubes will add horsepower to my car. Not only are they much bigger but the accordion in the middle is removed. The accordion causes turbulence, which impedes the air flow. I can't wait to put my car back on the dyno and see what it does with those air tubes.

*** Performance Testing Results ***
Well boys.. I was hoping some of you guys would have some 1/4mile testing done already, but since everyone's been a little busy, I arrranged to have an independent test done.
To try and be as fair as possible, I had the airbox shipped to a friend of a friend of mine so as to be completely unbiased (I dont know the person who did the testing and he doesnt know me).. He had no idea what airbox it was or who made it.. he was just told to install it on his bone stock 2005 E55 and do some before & after testing.
We just received the data back a few days ago and created this 1 page Performance Data for everyone...
The results were pretty good in my opinion.. A BONE STOCK 2005 E55 picked up 2.5mph in the 1/4 and a reduction of 0.188 in ET.. That's pretty damn good if I do say so myself.!!
Now.. Remember, this is AIRBOX ONLY on a BONE STOCK CAR..
Here is a link to a downloadable PDF file:

You had previously posted the order in which we stood for airboxes. Can U re-post so that we can get an idea as to where we stand for CF boxes, Tubes and Covers? TIA

Its a mathematic calculation... it was not done on a dyno.. We never bothered to dyno test it because I think the gains are going to be evident with the car moving at speed.. Sitting stationary is probably not going to result in any better numbers...
You can if you want.. its up to you. I think you should dyno after the belt wrap kit for sure and dont change anything else on the car. Do that mod first and do a dyno.. lets confirm that the 5,000RPM pig rich condition dissapears..
For the airbox & speedshift.. you can just run down the 1/4mile and watch your times improve..
Heads are ready whenever you are..
Ahhh.. Now I understand.. Doesnt matter what order anymore.. The remaining airboxes are all arriving together and all going out at the same time.. They are soon to arrive now that the airtubes & covers are done.
As for the air tubes & covers.. I made only ** 30 ** sets... Once they are gone, they are gone. That was enough to cover the majority of people with airboxes, but, now dealers are starting to order them, so if you want a set, please tell me so I can at least put them aside for you..
I havent scheduled a second run, so once I run out, I am only going to build based on demand at that time.

Please set a set aside for me. Tubes and Cover. I was just attempting to send you a paypal, and it won't go through. Are you still experiencing problems there?

Done.. Not sure why the troubles.. been receiving payments all day..
Call your CC company and just make sure they dont have a security check on the card .. it might be because they need you to authorize over the phone before internet purchases will be allowed.. My Visa card is like that.. I get a phone call everytime i place an order on a website. I give them verbal authorization and they allow the purchase.
Michael, Michael, Michael... I want to help you out and everything, but I can't work miracles.. REMEMBER... Albert is running some serious VRP tuning over there... (sorry.. couldnt resist)..
Albert: You got any slip issues with your pulley?? Maybe we should put one of these on your car just to be safe..
