Carbon Intake Tube / Update!

Post by solo_the_lad » Mon Feb 26, 2024 8:01 pm

Just wanted to update any folks that were interested in this process. For anyone that is unaware, I'm in the works of developing a carbon intake tube that will replace the stock tube on the N52 motor. The aftermarket part will have no resonator box and will be totally smooth inside, reducing air flow disruption created by the baffles of the OE part. I've completed the 3D modeling of it, next will be to send this model to a company that can produce a high quality split mold for me.
