RB Ram Air Intake Duct RELEASED
UPDATE:
http://www.racingbeat.com/resultset...artNumber=18298
From RB Website:
Ram Air Intake - We are currently developing a Ram Air Intake Duct for use with the REVi (and most other aftermarket) intake system. This duct will collect air from the nose opening and feed it directly into the intake mouth. Update 5/05: We have released several kits for pre-release testing. If all goes as planned, we anticipate having these units available around 7/18. Pre-order information will be posted on 7/13.
I wonder who's testing it... must be someone in the site..
SAVING MONEY TO BUY IT!!!

Regarding the ram air duct: I got an email yesterday from Jim Langer that confirms what was said above, namely that development is done and the duct is being tested right now, so far with positive results. He said Jim Mederer has to give OK and then they'll be offering it in a short while. No pricing information is available yet.
They are waiting for some brackets tro arrive, then it'll be available. He did not mention any specific date (like 7/18) though.
I'm hoping this won't take very long as I want to install it together with my (soon-to-arrive) REVi.

Hope it is compatible with the mazdaspeed front end. That is.. it isn't visible and looking like crap. If it is a scoop that is discrete then cool.

It looks nothing like those. The small open area from the lower part of the "dummy" grille on the front of the car is where it gets it's air from. It takes up this entire area which isn't that much anyways. This is a wide but fairly flat shape that tapers into the area of the inlet. The main inlet itself is actually several small ones as they are equipped with dividers, both for strength and airflow straightening. You can't even see it from the front of the car as unlike Odula's, it doesn't hang down into view in the lower grille area. It's a stealth piece.
