Now I have to get me one of them rides so I can buy this intake!
When is the store BMR going to actually have stuff on it?

If you are looking for anything to order I suggest shooting over a email to sales@blackmarketracing.net, I know they are still transitioning everything over though still are selling many products.
As far as the intakes there are now 11 remaining up for grabs, shoot us a email or PM if you are interested in purchasing one: MDesignSales@gmail.com
It's hard to know what I want to order since I have no idea what they are selling
besides this intake.
GL with pre-sales.
Just wanted to say I got my MDesign in the mail yesterday and assembled the unit last night in my basement (too cold to actually install....-13).
IT IS GORGEOUS!!! FIT, FINISH, QUALITY are second to none. Anybody considering this, you will not be disappointed.

Did we ever figure out that this Intake system actually makes our cars more powerful/faster? That one Dyno thread did not convince me that its worth buying even though I agree it looks very nice! Any updates on the track times/dyno numbers comparing it to stock intake box?
I had the option to see the intake on Bigmoney X-SPORT,sure looked like a quality piece though,guess more numbers will be released as soon as the weather smooths out a bit.
As soon as I can get to the track, looks like a few more months, I will have a test at the track. I will not be taking the stock intake, I will just compare it to my previous passes in similar conditions.
We had a batch of intakes sent out earlier this week though as stated, as soon as the weather clears up we should see more real world results, aka track runs. Looking forward to this spring!

The SHO (mine at least) dyno'd +/- 3 WHP on BTB pulls with catted and non-catted PPE DPs when compared to completely removing the stock CAI assembly vs having it on... So here the Ford engineers seem to have hit a home run. So don't look for performance improvements overall. I have noticed that my tailpipe tips stopped shooting up (about 1k miles now), so if that is not due to the winter E10 gas here, then the possibility exists that the right tables to maximize the MDesign haven't been accessed. Current commercial tunes and stock won't do that if it is possible.
Just to be clear the non-catted do net about 5 WHP over catted and about 17 WHP over stock. The comparison was with each individual set of DPs.

What I tried to say is there was no difference between OEM. And no Intake or filter.... Just the saxophone 3.5" opening... Any CAI added to that is a restriction potentially. ... The problem is the saxophone, if there is any intake restriction.... Dynos are posted somewhere here.

Any updates or new info.? On the fence, either the MD or sealed insulated Windstorm /Air raid.....

It has been out for a while now. Not sure what new info you are looking for. Both perform about the same. More of a sound and look preference.
So as of now a sealed correctly and insulated windstorm/AirRaid vs the MD is about equal all considered? Which one has the sounds? I want cheapest, most reliable performance without losing anything. Don't care about noise or looks. I do like to be able to check my trans fluid and opens space for future alky meth reservoir. Everyone happy with their MD? Did the newer version with bigger air filter and insulation make a noticeable difference? Thanks all!
Ps- I am in nj, ground level and terrible weather
The Airaid CAI IIRC is a bit louder. Z
I believe the air raid gives a tad bit more turbo sound due to being open. If you want extra space in that area, the MDesign is the way to go. Frees up that corner. I have been happy with mine so far. I had a slight hiccup when a piece got warped during a long road trip but MDesign made it right after a couple talks with them.
