Peter's solved the leak issue and needed to make changes on the mold to ensure we get the product he promised. Maybe a few weeks late but worth waiting for sure Keep the faith...it's coming for real

It's coming.....

ladies and Gentlemen...

I understand the frustration when one can't have what he want's right now.

The reality is that the AGS is a very complicated product, with a total of
eleven seperate parts, all custom made except the T-bolt clamps which we
source from South Africa and the silicone hose for joining of parts.

So I hope you all understand that this is not an easy project, far from it
I might say, the expected small problems turned in to big ones, but nothing
that can't be solved over a beer or two

And that's where it stands right now, we solved all the problems (Beer helps)
Changes are being made in the molds and a custom filter is near completion.

Sincerely

peter

I must admit, after all the waiting I am still as excited as ever about this. It will be a welcomed addition to any MCS, and if it does what I'm hoping it will, it'll make the JCW intake look about as hi-tech as the HAI

What is it that you hope it will do?

Let's be realistic for a second. Open filter elements supposedly produce 3-7 hp; the JCW box is supposed to deliver 5 hp. Just how much additional power do you think this one can possibly make? Regardless of the intake design, sooner or later the air they deliver will run into the same restriction point.

With nothing more to go on rather than the say so of a few members of the "M7 inner circle", there's no reason to believe this intake will do better than some of the others already available. Anything (artist's rendition, design drawings, a photo of the prototype, some preliminary dyno charts...) might help in this regard.

After this system is installed, the restriction point will be exhaust ports.

Just my belief that the AGS intake is replacing some key parts on our cars to allow more flow is all.:smile:

Here's what Peter posted ona new thread called M7 Air Gain System ...... Sneak Peak.

Here's a link: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=35005



Hi everyone....

It's Christmas eve and I figure a sneek peek of the "Air Gain System" would
cheer most of you up.

A little explanation of what's coming and what to expect......

The M7 AGS consist of a multitude of parts everything from T-bolt hose clamps
vaccume connectors and a new wiring harness with custom plugs.
The system consist of 16 seperate parts, all engineerd to make the install
as intuitive and easy as possible.

So what can you expect performance wise from the AGS, as it outflows any
system currently on the market by a margin. The difference is amazing
as the engine will rev faster and more freely.

We will have all the Dyno charts and flow tests available very soon....

Image one: M7 Air Gain System

Image two: our patented AGS tube

Image three: Mini stock SC tube

Merry Christmas

Webb Motorsports will be working with M7 to test and distribute the intake as well. We also now carry the M7 springs after the evaluation was completed.


Hope that helps!

We will not be the exclusive vendor for the M7 Intake...it'll be a free for all:smile: We will have a few intakes from the first batch here for you guys on the eastcoast.

We didn't stock the M7 product line in the past, so it wasn't fair to the guys at M7 to be sending them dropship orders everyday.:smile: It was also silly of us to be an eastcoast dealer with no stock. A large stocking order and the return of the M7 line may be done sometime in the near future.

We realize that we have a big part in supplying the eastcoast with product quickly, and we're trying to do everything in our power to do so.

Hello everyone....

As always when it comes to R&D things happens that's out of your control,
in this case the plastic had some creep/shrinkage that we did not expect.

We where also trying to maximize the size of the air filter, so a custom
one of filter is being made for us by S&B filters, and we will have the first production item available next Thursday for testing.

We do appreciate you guy's and gal's holding of buying a new CAI, and
we know that the "Air Gain System" will prove it self to be amazing and ground braking...
