I'll absolutely buy the intake pipe. If there is a list, put me on it and tell me when and where to send payment.

I know the common wisdom on this forum is that the factory air box flows fine and should be left alone. However, the guys at Lingenfelter and K&N obviously believe there is some sort of gain to be had from running an open element filter with a cold air wall. They are leaders in the performance parts business, I don't think they got to where they are by selling snake oil. I have to trust that they know what they're talking about.

So if you offer a CF cold air wall, I will get that as well, provided it doesn't raise the price through the roof. If you don't offer one, I will run a K&N drop-in in my factory box or get the LPE piece to go with your CF tube.

Count me in for the tube, 100%. I would think a 4" silicone coupler will be needed at both ends to join the intake tube. So, one would think that the R&D guy would consider this when fabbing.

I cut my stock box up an dropped in a K&N panel. No issues and pleased with that type of setup. Just making a great tube with the 90 bend would work with all the different setups. HMMM carbon fiber stock box with cutout, jk. Put me on the list for the tube.

So the tube is a no brainer. I guess once we get this done we can look into things like FRCs and splitters or front lips and who knows what else. I don't doubt we can get 15 to buy an intake tube and everyone knows the stocker is not the best design. I saw half that before anyone knew it was available. I certainly agree about having room to put a flexible coupler on both sides. The Volant is pretty much a flat coupler and works...although I would like something with more room to move and install.

This guy wants to make this affordable and successful. As you can see from the gallery that once a few parts were produced in the bmw world that they latched on and made tons of parts. Of course they saw value/$.

What type of box would we want as an option for the folks that would want the whole kit? LPE style or stocker style?

stocker style. you could even incorprate a ram air from the front grill into the carbon fiber stocker box.

verywhitedevil · #**188** (**permalink**) 06-28-09, 12:17 PM

a tube and cf stock box top or a tube and improved cf stocker style, but I am having great results with this mod and would be nice to improve on this style setup with a ram air in the front grill area. Seems like a no brainer.

Carbon intake tube anyone else?

SoJersey05V · #**190** (**permalink**) 06-29-09, 06:40 PM

price?

stuckey · #**191** (**permalink**) 06-30-09, 04:58 AM

+1 on price?

AAIIIC · #**192** (**permalink**) 06-30-09, 05:21 AM

I'm in for an intake tube, why not?

6Speed · #**193** (**permalink**) 07-03-09, 07:34 PM

Put me down for the pipe also!! I have a lingenfelter box with stock pipe ( LS2 ) I also saw that the stock pipe had some kind of sensor wire thing attached to it. I would like to know if that could be incorporated into the CF pipe? Also I would like you to look into some simple exterior pieces.

SoJersey05V · #**194** (**permalink**) 07-03-09, 08:36 PM

again... PRICE??? lets get this thing going
