Such a tease :)  Just remember we expect 3 products:  intake, exhaust, and engine cover!  So you have to re-arrange your priorities :P

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

So the MDesign intake has been on hold, the design on the boards has been scrapped and improved on. A simpler, direct bolt on and sealed system was designed instead. This required having parts custom made and is both time consuming and expensive. Some of you know that I am also a law student and my studies of course take priority. I'm happy to let you guys know though that I have started working extensively with carbon fiber. Not only was the intake on hold due to my studies, I've also been away from my vehicle for a month, and now that I have the car to work on again I've started on a carbon fiber engine cover.

I will post up pics and updates in here as working with carbon fiber is time consuming not only due to labor but also the drying times of all the chemicals used.

That looks great and do you put any type of insulation under or its not sufficient.

Lol I try ;). Unfortunately no exhaust, the intake has been redesigned (again) for the final time (hopefully) and is just a matter of getting one of the components manufactured in larger numbers.

Concerning the carbon fiber, along with the engine cover I plan to make a battery cover and also am looking to do some interior pieces as well. Here's another update on the engine cover:

Hope so... I've been talking to Ahmad for about 6-7 months on doing this.

What happened the exhaust

It wasn't cost effective to manufacture and have them all handmade at the quality I would like to put my name on. Also after testing many setups I highly recommend just modifying the OEM cat + resonator by deleting them and replacing them with a free flowing aftermarket resonator. The stock mufflers do a great job at killing drone.
