K&N Intake

Huff,

I'm surprised that you didn't post a link to your latest upgrade. When I was browsing the Vivid Racing site I noticed the Phase VI - Breathing Better With a Intake article.

The K&N intake looks good in the engine bay and I bet it sounds great. Can you post a sound clip when you get a chance?

So what is the next mod on your list?

I've been lazy lately with the holidays and birthdays and such, my bad. I'll see what I can do about a sound clip though I'm not sure how well the sound will record. To answer the question, the next step is to finish up the suspension with some sway bars and strut bars. After that StopTech big break kit.

Hey isn't that what the holidays are for. So kick up your feet and relax a bit.

Are you going to be carrying the K&N intake and if you are what do you think the price will be?

We have an order from K&N on the way and should be here next week. I'll match the price. Give me a call for the order.

I just spoke with Huff and placed an order for an intake. As always it was very cool dealing with Vivid Racing. He was willing to match Summit Racing's price and with shipping it only came to $190. Nice!

Huff did mention that they have a limited selection of intakes available. Right now there are 3 of each color (Red, Silver, Blue, and Polished). Oops, I guess there are only 2 of the Red left.

Another piece of info that may help persuade a few people is that K&N will have a carbon fiber heat shield for this intake and it will be available in mid February. So that will be on my list too.

2 red intakes are gone and just one more to go!

Is anybody feeling adventurous and want to try a different color?

You sure?

I just went on your site and it's listed at $229.99...


Anyways, can you ship to the UK? As I'm looking for somewhere to get one from. K&N UK aren't expecting supply for 6 weeks+ ......
