Could you link me? I am only curious because I would think I started them on that path. When i spoke to the operations manager of new developments he was adamant about not producing anything because of the complexity of the OEM intake. I would be curious to ask him why they have changed their minds.

Look at the forum for example, we have people buying shit off ebay now. I'm sure they see the market now, vs before.

Really want to see what your intake will produce. Exciting stuff.

I talked to him like 3 months ago... I don't think all that has changed in 3 months. Do you have the link? I just want to see what you're talking about and then call him on Monday and see what they're up to. It's not about stealing anyone's fire or anything but the intake we have going here may never even come to fruition so it's good to have options out there.

I wouldn't be worried at this point, I just saw the thread and the guy from AFE said he he will get started on design in a month. I got the same kind of information from them a few months back and they ended up telling me that it's too complex of a system and they don't want to get into it because lack of sales. At this point they still haven't even made drop in filters for the N63, they told me again same answer, it was too complex and most people that own these cars won't unscrew some torx screws to get to the filters. I won't be surprised if in six months he says that they'll still be working on design. When they have a functioning prototype I'll be surprised.

But at the end of the day, it has to make sense financially. And thats why they responded to me from an email I sent about 9.5 months ago. So your convo 3 months ago could of been with the wrong person. Or maybe at that time they didn't have interest. But at the end of the day, I just want an intake. I dont care who makes it. As a matter of fact I even offered Black my personal investment in his project so we can do it 24hrs before I got the email. Because I see way to much potential in the 1st intake available to the world for this car besides the overpriced one dinan makes.

Anyway lets just get back on topic of BadBlacks system, the sound alone that it's making pretty much has me sold pending on the price point. you have your own thread for the AFE and I will check it from time to time as you get updates and we'll see how things end up, and go from there.

That ain't bad at all considering the complexity and the fact that you're not a corporation! What would you think is a good ETA for the first 10?
