You've got a few more bells and whistles downstream that make what you have a sellable product versus our silly thread that says "buy this part number and stick on your TB." Kudos to you for taking the HAI a step further... Now lets see some numbers proving its better.

Alright, I finally got to hold the AGS. .

I've been banging my head against a wall about the filter ever since Peter gave us the dimensions.
After checking the system out I think it looks great and I want it more and more. I'm a little skeptical about water getting to the filter, but there's a shield for that so that's cool.

Anyway, the AGS is going to totally ROCK and that's realy all there is to it.

James

Andy, will you be purchasing the AGS? I would love it if the AGS came with #'s certified by you. I'd hang them on on a wall even.

Seriously though Andy, your #'s would surely be one of the most trusted, would you be so kind as to help the community and I out???

Consider this 19,134 views, 392 replies and 16 full pages of excitment......
And you call that inflating...

You have to realize that I'm not on the board 24/7 neither is my partner
as we are busy with some new (including the AGS) projects.

You hear more very soon from us.

Waiting is always a drag, but I know I'm getting one because it will be the best intake on the market.

I saw the AGS system on display at AMVIV and it looked perfect to me, it was not yet perfected enough to be released by M7. Peter wants the thing to be PERFECT in every way before releasing it to us and I'm all for it. It's a very tight space down there and I do not want any issues at all.

Handle it Peter....send me one when it's done.


Oh, 398 .

Speaking of tight space, and I know this has been asked before, will the N02 hose need to be relocated and if so what is the best location.

I think we will need to trim a cut-out on the heat shield We'll see when the AGS is installed.
