Looks like a Joe Z intake that got wrapped... Why is it it or why would it be the first & last one if a company spent the time to design that? There are a lot of companies that could wrap an intake if you guy want that. We have vendors all over that would do that. Not trying to be negative, if theres a carbon intake tube out, SWEET. I wish I could weld a nitrous bung onto it... haha

Agreed, or like an S2000 with a Spoon air duct.

I still have the prototype in the garage. The couplers were an odd size so they had to modify the final design and changed a few things based on my feedback. It will be available at some point. Hopefully soon!

This could be the ultimate intake IMO.
CF has a better heat resistance to heat vers. Aluminum.
I bet the smooth surface flows better than silicone tube.
I wonder what the $$$ difference might be.

from the looks it appears it still have some fitment issues like the port of the right breather tube is too up front than the other one makes look the hose streched also the way it enters the tb looks kind of miss aligned and the blue coupler should be black imo, if they fix all those issues the procution will be sick and massive so far w the things i mention it looks awesome good job!!!

It does look like a CF wrapped Joe Z intake. I'm sure all these CF companies can buy the Joe Z intake and wrap it and charge at least $200 more. Then you get a perfect fitment intake with the real CF finish.

Then that wont be good, since the tube is still made out of aluminum. We talking about real carbon fiber tube, no wrapped :P
