WTB - Air Intake Scoops



Looking to buy a set of these scoops (pictured in yellow above). I don't want to pay $200+ for the FTP carbon fiber units. Anybody have a set they want to part with?

Thanks

If you go to the E55 Facebook page, either request there or contact one of the Admins called Philip Lataille as he has just made another bulk run and you may be able to get them for cheap, I think around $150 shipped

Plenty of good deals on that page, 82mm TB Kits for ~$500

77mm Pulleys for ~$300

Weistec TCUs with Tune - Keep the unit ~$3-400

I don't Facebook. Had to use my wife's login to ask to join. This is why I don't Facebook.

Any other way to get these?

The seller of the 77mms on there can apparently also do "Clutched" pulleys down to 72mm

The 77mms (of this particular seller) is the only ones that have been openly tested so far but I think (don't quote me) he is running a 72 or 74mm Clutched himself (not referring to Shardul)

All the sellers (there are quite a few) are also active on this forum and may see this post - BUT as far as I am aware.....due to forum rules cannot openly advertise or sell without "paying" a fee to be a vendor

So Facebook is the only path right now until they setup their own website(s)

Yeah I got mine off Berti_00 about a year ago, he did maybe 2 runs overall, worth a shot messaging him but I wouldn't hold my breath
