Update on Intakes

ok here is an update on the intakes i plan to make, my father and i have just gotten possession of our property that i was going to have the shop on, now that we are about to move in it should only be about 2 months or so until i can start making the intakes, hopefully by february i will be done with them and be selling them, if anyone has any good ideas on what kind of pipes to make or where to put the filters at please let me know i am looking for good ideas, of course ill have the ram air setup that would go on a car like boostd7's car with no headlights, a big cone filter that runs down into the air dam and gets some good air down into the filter, great for a cold day

i might make some turbo intercoolers too if anyone would like me to do this, also TID's and any other good things to make our cars better faster, and not cost as much as HKS and Greddy and all those companies.

so let me know what you guys think give me some good ideas to try on and ill see what i can do.

Laterz guys

I think that if you made a low priced intercooler that had pipes on each side of the radiator people would buy it. A better TB cover would also be nice since the stock one has a big bend.

I would definitely be interested in the TB elbow.

So it will replace the TID? Also, could you make a pipe to go from a cone filter with a 4" outlet on the end to somewhere outside the engine bay? (Ractive heat shield filter)

one thing i would like to see would maybe be a piping that runs in front of the radiator in the grill. i know there's some space between the frame and the hood right above the radiator but i don't know how much. if you could figure it out and make something to go there i would be very interested.

I would like to see a ram air idea, or an air intake in front of the radiator(nice, cold air).

What's a TID or a TB?

Alot of the parts people want are pretty easy to design and manufacture.
