Never thought you mention it.....

Joel and Sid Thank you for the opportunity of taking this marvelous design
in to production. We are in the pre-production stages at this time, and
I'm expecting a delivery date for the first units in the end of January.

The first production run will be a gelcoat glas product of exceptional quality
and fit. Then the M7 specific unit, with special ducting for our IC.

The possibillity of a CF version, is very high and I will keep everyone abreast
of the developments of this version.....

Hey Guys....

Yeah I got some nasty looks from the other scoop, but we all know that these two products attract a different buyer, so it's all good.

As for pricing, I would think we can keep the product under $200 give or take
a dollar.

It appears as if this products future has taken a drastically different direction that I had thought based on previous communication with Joel. Out Motoring will apparently not be helping on bringing this to market.

Hope everything works out for the best.

AC,

Scoop

There is no reason why this scoop will not work on a stock IC. The only provision is; the inter black plastic diverter will have to be cut back to make clearance for the larger opening. I've already made the mod for my car and it worked out perfectly. I'll include photos in a few days.

Dude why so confused....

M7 has been working on a new IC for well over 6 months. With our capabillity of
doing Computational Fluid Dynamic testing (CFD) we have found a way to cool
the charge air tremendously, and part of the "System" is this new hood scoop.

Expect something very soon.

Here's Ram Intake V1.2...or is this 2.2 I lost count Much more subtle than V1.0 with less ramp angle but with same overall opening. Should perform nearly as well as V1.0 but definitely better than stock
