RPI Air Intake Scoops ( Calling for CA, XF Supercharged Owners )
I have been in touch with Raceprecision Inc who are better known for working on BMW, Porsche, ect.... They produce these intake scoops much like you would see on a race car. It's a very popular mod on all the BMW forums, so I emailed them some photos of our cars showing them that our nostril like intake that meets the bumper is soooo much like the 3 series and 1 series. They asked if we could get a car out to there shop. It's in Torrance

I will pm you the guy I have been dealing with. As long as he checks his emails frequently, I see no problem with you heading over. You might want to call. I'm sure you'd probably get a set for free considering it would open a whole new market for them. 2009-2014 all have the same plastic radiator shield. I will email now and see if I get a response. Also check you pm

I just emailed the guy and here is what he said.
Just have him give us a call or email us. We have to schedule a time to be able to fabricate, etc. In the meantime, can you see who is interested? If it works, we need a car to prototype and we need a car to dyno test the product. It will be a custom one time thing so we want to get the pre-orders in before we commit to it.

Sounds good. We need to see how many XF owners are interested. It would fit 2009-2014 Supercharged, so there has to plenty out there. I think we already have a member in touch with them. Maybe I should start another thread to see the interest.

10 to 15 HP. Go to there site. You can also look at the dyno chart in the pic I posted of a BMW. They are also willing to dyno test on our car if we get one there.

Thanks Kyanite, I see no reason it won't work. Our intake to bumper is so similar to the BMW 3 and 1 series. Should I start a new thread to see interest, or wait for your schedule with them?

The only thing about the dyno reading is that it won't be so significant cause it's only fans blowing versus real driving conditions. I know they work, cause I saw a vid were a guy lit a candle and put near the throttle body and used a leaf blower in front of the grill with no scoop and it stayed lit. Then added the scoops and the candle blew out.

Any other thoughts from the possible interested members?
