Hey guys. Things have been hectic. I'm leaving for Hawaii Sunday for my wedding on November 3rd. Once back, or maybe even sooner, I'll check in. Thanks for keeping this one alive!

Hey Qwiketz,

I purchased an intake from you previously and the plastic coupler has cracked throwing the car into restricted performance.

Can you please guide me in the direction to find a replacement?

Thanks.

Wow, that's the first time I've run into that since the hoses are reinforced. You can source a replacement from intake hoses.com . It's a 3" to 3.25" reducing coupler.

Hey guys,

Since there is another intake tube available on the market that has a better fitting for the breather hose, I'll be holding off on making more of these. Let's see how the other ones work out. It's great that there's a second source of these now.

Exactly. It's not the crappy mina one. The other one has the fitting that accepts the stock breather hose (an improvement over mine) and I believe he's sending them out polished which is a nice touch. Quite frankly it's cheaper to go through him than me so why not let him have the glory.
