Thanks for adding my name to the list. I kinda new at the forum stuff and still trying to get the hang of it.

No worries, team players here.

Update on group buy. Just spoke with a rep who will email me on Monday some info on it.

Do we have anymore people who want to join?

Here are some updates from the other test vehicle over at Freshalloy:

This is still a work in progress but here is what I am told the prototype looks like so far. I may get a chance to have this installed in my car in the next 2 weeks.

I am not trying to be negative, because our cars need serious help in aftermarket performance part availability, but those tubes look to be smaller and have more bends than the HPS intake tubes. The factory sized K&N drop ins also flow plenty of air for our engines. I want to say they flow over 1,400 cfm for the pair before they exceed 1.5 in/hg (20.4 in/h20) and flow 710 cfm for the pair before they exceed 1.5 in/h20. With the cover plate taken off, I really don't see this being much of a difference. Those cone filters probably flow less than the large panel filters do as well. Would be nice to have, 6" filter, venturi reducer cone for the MAF and 4" tubing like the Airaid MXP I had on my titan.

They don't look that much smaller than the HPS but yes, the HPS look a tiny bit bigger and certainly don't have that sharp elbow at the top by the manifold (particularly the driver side tube).

Here is a pic of my HPS':

Well, we'll see when they produce the numbers. I mean, that's the only way we can compare. I'm hoping that sharp bend has been redesigned since that design is pretty much a prototype. But again, it might work for them. Anxiously waiting.

[DRM56]

Hey guys. Has anyone heard what the release date for the intake kit will be as of yet?

[infinitedrift]

End of august

[Ilya]

End of august

They better get crackin lol...the end of August is here.

[CRV_33]

I talked to R2C about two weeks and they were waiting for the metal dies to come in by the end of August.

[DRM56]

So has anyone heard what's the latest on these intake kits??....I'm beginning to get impatient lol

[Ilya]

I've pretty much resigned to the 'if they come, cool...if not, same crap different day' mentality. We're probably looking at early 2017 at this rate. By then, most people will lose interest and they will probably only produce a small handful of intakes, if that.

[infinitedrift]

Have faith, I bet no later than October.

[Ilya]

I mean, I may be out and may just settle for my HPS tubes. I'm popping the question soon and although I've been saving for the wedding for a little while now, I'm going to have to double down on that effort lol. I want a baller *** honeymoon in the Maldives (maybe with stops in Paris and/or Italy on the way there lol). Adulting sucks...but it's time lol. The car has to go on the back burner now...still haven't gotten an exhaust or coilovers like I always planned... .

Obviously that depends on 1) if they ever release the product and 2) if the price isn't astronomical. Debonair was gonna take my HPS tubes off my hands for a discount, but we'll see if it even comes to that.

If anything, I just want something new for the rest of the community. The V8 guys get forgotten a LOT around here lol.

[1GR8M56S]

i have to agree we do get forgotten

[CRV_33]

Hey guys I understand the disappointment in the delays as well but you have to remember the R&D has been completed. Last I heard R2C was just waiting for the metal dies to arrive to start production. Like what inifinitedrift said, we all just need to have faith.

Honestly once I hear the are ready for sale I am tempted to drive the 300+ miles so that I dont have to wait for shipping. LOL

I installed this Eventuri intake in my Audi, they don't make one for the Y51's but wouldn't it be incredible if the R2C design came out this way? Matched up with a CF top cover...

Thanks CRV! The sound of the Intake and exhaust is heaven. This is technically my wife's dd, but I get to hop it up and drive it like it was meant to be driven..

RE: Pictures, the Audi or M56?
I don't take pics of the audi much cuz I don't like the proportions(drives great though). Wife drew the line on lowering it with coilovers, she does like HRE's so that's cools but I I think it needs a drop...badly....

[1GR8M56S]

So any updates on the intake?

[CRV_33]

So any updates on the intake?

I sent an email late last week asking for an update. Pretty sure they are tired of me bugging them for updates. I'll update this post if I ever hear anything.

[1GR8M56S]

so i guess we are not getting the intakes?

[Ilya]

Hate to say it but...called it, lol.

[infinitedrift]

They are still coming. Myself and crv33 are staying on top of them. They are delayed but Ed from R2C says they are still working on it. Just a waiting game now.

[Big_Tone]

I have the HPS intakes, but I'm still interested and would probably invest in these.

[CRV_33]

haha come on man be positive. LOL
