ok just got a reply back from him. waiting to get a price for 2. the cost for one shipped is a bit high but i still think i may go for it.

so ill see if i get interest enough for a group buy but i dont think i will. as i think you then need a mushroom filter as well like a hks one or such like.

well im still interested, how much was it for the one?

you sure its a mushroom filter needed? cause i'v got 3 pod filters and would prefer to use one of them.

208 USD.. I have contact him.. It's too much for a replica Tom's air intake in my opinion.. I will stick with my aluminium CAI filter, which is probably better as well!!

As I said, I believe that a CAI filter of an Aluminium pipe will be better as the filter located at the back of the front bumper.. Only a dyno run can help us. The only reason I want to see one, is because of its design, sucking air from 2 ways.. :whistle:

yeah its hard to say without the dyno :(, i do prefer a more direct delivery though which is why this intake intrigues me.

my concern with it though is the dimensions of the part accomodating for the pod filter, so we know what will fit, and whether the air will be sufficient, or "cool" air.

hehe those two entry points may even negate each other, like our 3 intake valves. I guess if your already running a short pod setup this may be a good investment

Don't forget that we have to pay extra VAT + post office.. So another 60-70 USD.. It will cost around 300 USD each. I really want to see one though..

its still better than pay over 600euro for the full ARC kit, granted the ARC chamber and intake box have bin proven on dyno's...

Is it? I thought it was a rare bit of kit so it allowed to have a big price tag =O

i think the price is good for what your getting, 221dollars isn't bad compared to what some people try and charge for a cold air intake.

i'd happily pay the price

you still need a pod mushroom pod filter which fits inside it, the super intake simply redirects air to the pod filter

gathered that should make a nice diffrence if you dont skimp on the filter

His best offer is 208 usd.. I asked him for it, and he said for more than 10 pcs, he can make a best price. :whistle: It's hard to be found 10 guys...
So the best offer is 208 USD (including shipping, not including extra charges from the post office)

Considering how much of a nose dive the dollar is on against the € now it might be good value. Even for guys in Aus etc I think your dollar has nearly reached parity with the US one. Pity most the stuff I want to buy has to be purchased in Yen :(

one thing you guys would need to consider if you are getting the super air intake is the battery. it seems that the intake was designed around the OEM battery size for the car, see my pics above. that battery sits perfectly into the tray that comes with the car.

might not be an issue with some of you guys with smaller battery than standard or battery that has been relocated to the boot, just something to think about as it mightnot be a staright fit and play!
