Cool!

 

Red-

You should be in their marketing dept! You've got everyone playing in concert! Are you opting for black, non-polished, or high polished finsh on the tubing? It won't make any significant difference, however, since black absorbs more heat, I am debating between non-polished and high polished. I think I am leaning more toward the high polished primarily for aesthetics and it's more reflective.

 

Yea, tough decision... it was either black or high polish and I decided on high Polish to give it more of an aftermarket look. Black would make those ginormous white filters stand out more which is also cool. Since I didn't get the option when ordering I contacted Ed and he said he was going to oversee my entire transaction, very cool. Ed btw is the VP of R2C.

 

I think ill go with black so the filters stand out more, while the surronding engine bay looks stock, personally for ME, if i get polished tubes then i would want them to run completely from the engine to the filters, i just dont lik ethe half rubber and half polished look, however ill reserve my final decison until i see real pics of the polished intake... where is the 350z guy with the vids and pics!!!!

 

Sale is up in the vendor thread

 

more to come guys, let me know if you need me to take some specific angles or parts
i workin on the vids.....

 

The fitment is perfect, no cutting/trimming?

 

correct

 

In the production release, you can see even more details of the design! It looks like the intake tubing attaches to the back of the heat shield, instead of forming the venturi stack at the end of the tubing. So, the heat shield and the venturi stack are a single component or the venturi stack is positioned within the filter side of the heat shield. In either case, the venturi stack is composed of polyurethane or some type of plastic which helps minimize some of the heat transfer from the engine bay back into the filter area that would be seen, if the venturi stack were entirely metal!

 

 

Thanks Tom, after seeing this I changed my order to Black.. I think that will mesh better with the whole intake.

I'm guessing the open slots at the bottom of the heat shields are to allow cool air into the engine bay creating a flow in that direction to prevent the reverse from happening. Interesting they didn't put left side shield on the passenger heat shield, it looks like there's room, athought the reservoir and other components there probably form enough of a wall. Love the way these filters look, looks like something you'd see on a helicopter..lol.

The farther up front the venturi is from the back of the heat shield the cooler the air will be so yea looks to be plenty far up front. Man I feel like I'm waiting for a mail order bride, can't wait for these to get in.

 

haha no problem, glad i could help

i love them, they sound awesome after 3K, a nice whistle
i def. feel a power increase

o and video will be up later, battery happened to run out while uploading

 

Thanks for posting up the pics. They will def help customers get a better idea how they look in the car and up close.

 

That's good to know about the venturi stack. I'm with you, Red! If feel like a kid looking at a stack of presents under the tree, two weeks before Christmas!

 

these look like great intakes just releasing at the wrong time.. stillen is giving much competition.

Im pretty interested in these as well, just waiting on independent dynoes. like the rest of the forum
