I just got our new BMP Promini dealer brochure today and found this hiding on one of the pages..looks like it may be a BenFer private label deal maybe?

Anyone heard anything?

 

I haven't heard anything, but I love the carbon fiber. I guess only time will tell if there is something there.

downpipe and uppipe are the same... and from the picture it looks REAL close to the ben fer full system they sell...

where is the silicone boot for the tb though?

 

Shhhh.

"Carbon fiber is a non heat transferring material"

Ha!

 

an interesting property of carbon fiber laminate is that the heat conductivity is anisotropic; good conductivity in the direction of the fiber (carbon fiber heat characteristic) but poor cross fiber conductivity (matrix characteristic)

 

That makes sense since you have a good conductor (carbon strands) buried inside a poor conductor (thermoplastic resin).

 

Yeah yeah, enough with all that scientific stuff.... J/k

What the ricers of the world want to know is.... WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE???

I have inquired about this product in the past, but heard no response. I require a sealed intake system for the DEI CryO2 system I run on my car, and it boils down to either the BenFer system or the M7 system (hint hint, I highly doubt I'm the only one with the same dilemma....)

Another good question - how much will it cost?

and another thing, folks.... if you took offense to the ricer comment about carbon fiber, think about the person who made the comment for a second - you all might have carbon hoods and scoops and vents and dash kits and splitters and what not, but NONE of you rock a carbon fiber wallet like yours truly does!!!
