Carbon Fiber Intake Testing

New Carbon Fiber intake just in our hands.
We need a car that is 100% stock, unfettered.
The intake is scheduled to retail at $299, if you wish to be a test bed, you will be getting the intake at cost or less and will also get a free dyno out of it.

Your car MUST be 100% stock or at least no engine/exhaust modifications.

Nothern California.

We think it's fair to get $90 Dyno + whatever the final cost of the product is in return for being a tester.

$90 dyno??? THATS AN EXPENSIVE DYNO?! i can get 3 or 4 runs for around $45

i think its fair for someone to get the intake for free as well.

so the potential of gaining 8HP on your car isn't enough.
we have 2 people interested, we'd like to have a total of 5.

I too live in SF, I'd be willing to let you test it on mine. I'll pay for it IF i see the 8 hp increase, otherwise you can have it back. PM me for phone #/email

Never mind, you are way too far from me to be spending my gas for a test intake I am going to have to pay for. Good luck on that though..

too late, you're not going to get one
Jason, the person in the video, was very happy to pay for one.
In fact, he was so nice, we intend on giving him the intake.

You know, sometimes, it just pays to be nice, and not a jerk.

Everyone wants a hand out, it's refreshing when someone doesn't, and it's funny how he'll wind up getting one.

A lesson learned.

no thanks to you :D D

You are really going to be surprised how quickly this intake installs, it took less than 20 minutes to put it on Jason's car.
