How do you guys like it? I made those for another vendor but now he disappeared so I decide to start selling those myself. It's a bolt -on. Fully enclosed unlike all the other aluminum air boxes out there. Gets cold air from the slot between the radiator and the chassis like the M2 and Pettit Racing cold air intake. Comes with 2 K&N filters. The ones you guys getting will have beads welded on the pipes so the filters will not fall off like the M2. I will make some special tinted Lexan covers so you can inspect the filters without taking off the covers. The price will be the following:



1-3 orders: $450

4-6 orders: $420

7-9 orders: $390

10+ orders: $370

optional black tinted cover: $30



The air boxes will be done 2 weeks after the group buy. The group buy deadline is 2-28-03.

Chuck, will this fit with the M2 (i.e. ASP Racing) Large Intercooler?



Also, will it fit the M2 hardpipes for the M2 box? (I bought the hardpipes to fit the m2 box but never got the m2 airbox cause I didn't want CF)

The intake box will fit with the ASP or M2 large intercooler. If you have the m2 hardpipe kit, make sure you have the one that works with the m2 air box. If you have that one, you will be ok.

I may be interested if we can get enough people. Is the finish on these reasonable clean (not too many scratches)? Are the welds touched up at all?

Yep, I do have the pipes for the M2 box.





My next concern, are they going to be polished up?



I'm definitely leaning towards one if they're polished.

It shouldn't be that hard to get them polished... You put them into an industrial sized tumbler with tumbling media and after a few hours of tumbling around, they're polished.

Man, it's not even the middle of January and we would have to wait until the middle of March to get these? Any way this can be sped up?

I think one short fat filter would be better and easier to work with (similar to Knightsports). Both M2 and Tri-Point filters are known to fall off and are cheapy. HKS (in gold) and Blitz (in silver) make a stubby fat metal mesh filter. That will the lexan cover would be bad ***. :bigok:

I have more pictures. Go to http://www.rotaryextreme.com/coldair.html



The finish is brushed aluminum. The welds are grinded down. You will see all of of those at the above link.

If you want it to be polished, it will be $75 more. The polish place I go to does decent job but not super nice job. If you want to see his work, go to http://www.rotaryextreme.com/engine.html to see some photos of the polishing job he did for my engine.
