Installed this intake on my car today. Very easy install. However, I do not hear the "swoosh" sound at all. Could it be that the flex pipes aren't fully seated in the coupler that's connected to the elbow? I'm thinking about throwing a clamp on there to ensure it doesn't come out when feeding the flex pipe through the hole under the flanges.

I reinforced all flex pipe to coupler connections today with hose clamps purchased from Home Depot for extra security until the upgraded 180 connector comes in. I also noticed that when the engine bay gets hot, the coupler's expand and the flex pipes have a tendency to come out. All in all, very great build badblack! The power is definitely there and the sound is icing on the cake.

Have been testing heat shield for less heat and aesthetics, for now only did a 2 piece design will try to fit a single shield also. Clips in instead of stock intake boxes.

The only communication i got from you was a Paypal dispute exactly 4 weeks after order, on the week of shipping. I do not grantee a shipping 4 weeks after order i state that development takes 4 weeks and shipping after that.
I am sure many that have purchased the intakes can attest to my support and communication through out the whole process and way beyond.

I have sent a reply to your dispute.

I would like to know where the great customer service is. I called Tuesday and today more than 3 times. You stated you would ship out Friday. No tracking # up to date. Can I please get my refund . All this headache for a intake is not worth it at all

issued refund, if you call and no one answers leaving a message is usually the next step. not sure how that can cause a headache.
