M7.....AGS heatshield
M7.....AGS heatshield
We have finally finished the AGS heatshield....
After months of agonizing, we finally decided that a system like the AGS
needed a design that took advantage of....and showed of the unusual nature
of the Air Gain System. After starting out with a design
in bent sheet metal, we decided that composites would give us an advantage
design wise. This approach allowed us to direct the air stream directly in to
the filter element taking advantage of cooler ambient air temperatures.
The regular heatshield construction is fiberglass covered by a glossy layer of black gelcoat (as shown below).
The upgraded unit will take advantage of some cutting edge materials.
The upper layer will be Carbon Fiber with a deep glossy gelcoat. The subsequent layers are Basalt a fiber made from volcanic rock with
fabulous heat rejecting qualities, keeping the AGS very cool.
These unit will start to ship next week with all the back orders, and we will
hopefully catch up within a couple of weeks.
