More like $2500 haha.

I agree it's very excessive but $200 is also way off. The perfection in the Carbon craftsmanship is worth a bit more than $200 in the labor alone not too mention product.

I will say the sound it makes on my F90 gives me a hard ok every time I jump on it. Worth the discounted rate I picked it up for from a forum member last year.

I imported over 10,000 E9X and N55 carbon intakes from China. Paid $180-210 per kit and used K&N filters. Perfect weave, perfect fitment.

I'm not sure how much more complicated the design for an S58 would be versus others but no more than $300-$400 to make.

Nice, but there's no real engineering here. Unless it creates any documented performance improvement, which it will be marketed as such, but won't actually create, that may as well just be a laser pointer pointed at the engine bay.
Eventuri M2 intake produces a whistling sound like when you blow on top of a bottle. Youtube has many examples of this. But they would never comment on it. I'd never give them money, not what they are asking for this pseudo engineering.

Believe the final production version is set to start shipping in March. At least that is the last update Imran gave.

As cool as it looks, I care not for the looks of my engine bay in the slightest.

Have there been any dynos or sound clips of this in action? Power is likely to be minimal, but I'm very curious about the sound.

I thought I saw some preliminary speak about it. But their F80 intake claims 15-20hp and 18 to 23lbft.

It looks pretty good stock but it can definitely use some dressing up. This intake plus turner motor sports carbon fiber support bars and a carbon engine cover will make the engine bay look spectacular.

To be frank, I wouldn't mind an ABS version of this to save money if it makes power.

Abs isn't quite cheaper for low volume.

I open my hood to refill the windshield wiper fluid and add oil. I don't care if it is hot pink plastic. I don't want to waste money on carbon fiber.
