i vote option # 1... i need to have the new version before i can ship the old one back. i cant be without transportation.

 

have you gotten the new intake on the dyno yet? if not when will you be doing so? im very curious about the gains!

 

I vote for option #1
Rob i really do appreciate all the work you have done for us and the service you are providing is next to none and i hope you keep developing parts for our cars.thankyou

 

#1 for sure, it is the best option for us, just send us the completed modified intake we can swap over and send the one we have right back out to you. i mean there isn't too many people experiencing the problems so help us out rob. . we have been patient, lol. i do want mine powdercoated so it looks like it does now, i just don't mind the new coupler as others do so soon as it is cut and powdercoated i should be good to go. right

 

i'll end up sending out new tubes to everyone and we can exchange them out. i have the ball rolling on making more now

 

EXCELLENT SOLUTION ROB !!! Thank You !!

 

I realize this is something Rob is jumping through hoops to accomplish. I for one will not forget the effort an professional manner this was handled. NeedWings will be my #1 source for improvements that I will obtain going forward.
THANKS ROB !

 

absolutely, your the man rob, can't wait to get the new peice, but i too will not forget the effort you have gone through to make things right. glad to hear its time to get the ball rolling with these kits.

 

all of your troubles are greatly appreciated! thank you for standing behind your product!

 

Looking forward to meeting you in August at the Woodward Dream Cruise.
I too share the feelings stated by dbg55 here.

 

i'll cut my own ... aluminum goes like butter

 

thanks for the words guys.

as for cutting them, at this point by the time i got a new piece to attatch made and then powdercoated the entire new tubes will be done. if you wanted to paint the new piece in say black to blend in i could get one of those out much sooner if your going for the quickest solution but we cant powdercoat just one small piece in black as they have a $250 minimum at the powdercoating company. you could rattle can it with high temp black engine paint also but that depends on how well you can paint (i wouldnt be happy with it the way i spray paint, lol) hit me up on aim, it shows your offline now.

 

I like the original silver powdercoat look.
I would be happy with the new mandrel tube to have the same finish.
I hope this doesn't completely dig into your profit and leave you in the negative $$ when complete.
I hope you only have a few to redo and didn't produce inventory before discovering this MAF issue.

 

we will without a doubt be negative on this but we gotta take the good with the bad.

 

I liked the look of the first unit. The silver one piece would be great. I will however paint the original elbow behind the grill black. I purchased the mesh grill and I would prefer this be hidden on my black roadster

 

i agree, we may in the future have that piece powdercoated black instead so it isnt as notcable without the grill on the car (or a see thru grill), that will be a little while off tho.

 

hmm. . i kind of like the look behind the mesh grill. . so any time frame idea here on the powdercoated ones to get sent out.

 

its probably going to be about 2 weeks by the time the tubing gets finished being mandrel bent, sandblasted, welded, and then powdercoated before shipping

 

This is cool with me.
A few weeks more for a quality product seems reasonable.

 

yeah thats all good, you are saying two weeks till its shipped correct?
