Ummm, yeah, we are.

All of these recently developed intake hose applications originate at the stock air box connection.

My job is a cross between mechanical and electrical engineer, more interested in the mechanical side though.

Ed - stock replacements are more popular for most people who don't want to change too much. No one is restricted by the air box if they don't want to be.

Just ordered mine from the UK site. Can't wait to see how it impacts fuel economy.

That's good, pro-active customer service.

Check this email out:

Hello Thomas,

We are receiving the intial order for the SMART CAR silicon intake hoses this week. We get our shipments in on Thursday, so I'll ship it out to you then.

Thanks!

I had placed my order online at the UK Forge site and, unlike Mvaldes, had requested processing by the Forge US site, (not without some concern).
Well, that concern was completly unfounded: not only did the UK site confirm receipt, but Jeff Orlando appears to be on top of things as well!

Good service indeed.

Sorry, all, for the redundancy: I just now noticed the earlier, almost identical "email" post from Jeff.

Not all of them....

Babybenz has a custom intake he's developed that doesn't use the stock box... pulls directly from the side intake.


Hitch... researching before posting....

OMG - most of this thread passes right over me, but that was funny.... Do you have to squeeze the babies really tight to get baby oil?




OK, levity over, carry on modding the hell out of it.

Dr. JetFuel

Looks like somebody forgot to take their meds. Looks like you got a bad case of tight bend. Did you forget to look at your previous flow chart or was your altimeter stuck??? Barney O. (Home of the Wedgie)
