Butt dyno is fine by me! Just be honest. And I guess you have the only one until more are made, so we'll be sitting out anyway.

That's too much of an headache just for a intake which isn't going to provide better gains than any other one that is available...Good luck anyways

Keep us updated YS. Hopefully it was just delayed and it'll be in the mail by Tuesday at the latest. Hopefully you'll have it by the end of next week..

BTW. What is it with companies these days? People were cranking out orders around Christmas time, but now it seems like they don't know WTF they are doing and orders are taking a full week to even ship out. Not receiving your order until at least 2 weeks from the time you submit is just plain retarded.

ok .... that's it .............

"... We have not received a tracking number from Volant. We have been requesting it, all week. We just find out today, that the part still in the testing process, and they cannot ship the product until this is done. That's why there was no tracking number, and the original shipment could not be traced.

We are issuing credit to your credit card, immediate. You will receive a credit memo, via e-mail by the end of the day.

We apologize for all the inconvenience this might have caused you..."

Any more news on whether it's completed? This looks like it could outperform the FIPK if it ever makes it out of production.

Ya, seriously. It looks much better than the K&N FIPK. I would also be interested in the group buy if theres one in the near future. The only thing that bugs me is theres no mounting hole like a AEM, it just kinda fits tight I think?

R&D takes time. It may be a few more years before we see anything, but at least it's being developed.

You know what this means though?!?!?

You know how we are always bitching about Research & Development!!!

Well this company is actually doing this.....

I will probably buy this intake in the future as well as a REAL exaust and not some cheap custom setup....so whenever this thing comes out ill get it and a thermal catback exhaust

thats my plan

Sounds good. I was almost getting a thermal catback but it was too much money at the time. I got the rear section and it's still sweet. Best looking, imo.

But yeah, let's let them develop it and the design says it will be better than any intake out there.
