trohler Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 What will be included when you make these?? I assume it reuses the stock air box and MAF housing, if so are/would you just selling the tubing? I already have a K&N, i'd be interested in just the tubing possibly, but not for $200.

ebpda9 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 hmm i was thinking of making them out of carbon fiber, but i will see when i get around to making the molds for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trohler Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 As someone else said, this would be last on the mod list for me. Right now its wheels/tires, and suspension. Good Luck though. Tolly 07 Impreza 2.5i Special Edition 07 Kawasaki Ninja 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBoyShoots Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I bought the first one, and I can DEFINITELY feel a difference! I'm very happy with my purchase. The car pulls harder at the low end than it ever did before, and it sounds so much more badass when I really get on the gas! I would recommend this mod to anyone looking for a real simple mod. It took me about 10 minutes to install the thing once I got all the parts. Thanks again ldc2335! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGe Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yeah but if you remember alot of us asked how you built it and you wouldnt tell us anything other than it was mixed parts. if you built it i can as well. i will just go to autozone buy the tubing for fraction of the cost and be on my way. thanks for the pictures though. OTM. Sorry I didn't mean to start a war which mainly forum people is all about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGe Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 After reading my post i came across kind of harsh. if you want to make money off of it then make money off of it. I personally think it is kind of messed up that your on a forum site to help other people out and vise versa and your going to try to make money off of them now. that would be equivelant to them making money for every modification that you done to your car using there idea. But just wanted to repost and say that my post meant no disrespect by any means. I am just very opinionated. OTM. Sorry I didn't mean to start a war which mainly forum people is all about .

JohnnyBoyShoots Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 RaGe, There are plenty of aftermarket parts vendors who use this site, and you've expressed no problem with them. I think you're being a bit unfair. I stand by my praise for ldc's work. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldc2335 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 thats what it is...mixed parts...its like a jigsaw puzzle, i start off with some intake tubes a dremel and a hack saw and go at it... and my intent was to be able to sell these, so why would i tell you exactly how to do it.... im offering something that no other company makes, so in that sense i am helping you out...i could keep em all for my self thanks for the positive feedback johnnyboyshoots,could ya send me pics of that part when ya get a chance,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGe Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 i have been following this for a while now and i am sure there are more with the N/A that have been following it as well. the Point that i was mearly trying to make is that hardly any info was given as far as what was used to make this modification etc. unlike others that have used this site and posted walkthroughs. there were some that even asked for a walk-through and wasnt given anything except it was mix matched parts. I wasnt trying to turn this into some piss match about how unfair life is or anything like that. really i wasnt. Now i will give him props for the product itself. Indeed it takes alot to make something yourself. I am not busting him for that really i am not. It is just the principle of it all. But on that note i will shut up now and just make one for myself and when i finish up i will post pictures along with part numbers so that people like myself that like doing modifications on there own can benifit from it free of charge. So now you all can bust my chops if you would like, really it doesnt matter to me. Just stay tuned for future modifications for the mush fake CAI. I will say this, there was no disrespect intended like i said before but i can see that no-one read that part. If i hurt anyones feelings in the posting that i have done i sincerely appolgise for my actions. peace out. OTM. Sorry I didn't mean to start a war which mainly forum people is all about .

ldc2335 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 to all the moderators.......do i need to apply for vendor status just to sell and intake every now and then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldc2335 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 the first intake that shoots bought was indeed mixed parts, from a dodge ram intake and a wrx intake all hacked up and was like $160 in parts, i sold it to shoots to try and make some money to make more...after looking and looking, ive found an intake that i can use. but parts and shipping im stll at like $130 for the whole kit..

ebpda9 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy the mandrel bent tubing from some online parts store ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldc2335 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 probably, but ya gotta have an example to go off of, or they need to have the car.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebpda9 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 you could buy the bends and make it out of multiple pieces, just like yours. i think you would come out a bit cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
