No they are not..but everyone wants them to make them like that and SE refuses. Prolly would have all 22 sets sold if they did. but what do they care they aren't in business to make a profit.

Maybe after this they will come out with another run of limited production CF intakes.

Haha it's not that easy to just make a carbon intake. If we do it, we will do it right and make it full dry carbon. The time will come when it's ready. Yes, limited quantites at a reasonable with-in price range are not very profitable. But that's our decision. We test the market to see what people like and what they will actually purchase. Alot of great ideas from you guys. Our job us to make sure the final product is presentable

No one thinks it's easy..but carbon fiber is your specialty...right? If you did make an all carbon intake that made good power then you would not have to ask people to comapare your company to hks and top secret..you would already be at the top of the list.

Personally I don't car if my intake is dry carbon or not..just take the one you make now and wrap it in CF!!!

ETA is middle to end of next week! Our vinyl guy had to revise vinyls three times so their machine can cut it, because it was too small of a font. As soon as we get that, possibly Monday or Tuesday, we will lay it out in the prepreg carbon and autoclave it. Cut them out, and install it with adhesive/rivets

I seen the intake up front in real life, I have heard it in real life and in video, dynos have been proven to me and quality of their work have been proven to me with not only 1 product but with others they make too. So with all that proof and evidence of quality they have shown me, I have decide to spend the money on these. Also, They're working with Lou@Amplified to sell the product, which I feel is very legit and which whom I trust with my money and my car, so it's as simple as that.

Thank you 2c, you engine cover should arrive Tuesday/Wednesday at Amplified. I'll send you some stickers when I recieve them Monday/Tuesday. Intakes are on schedule to ship out this week, and your special request of your name will be on the backside of the bracket in dry carbon
