Any happy seattlites like to help me shop intakes?

I like the idea of the M2 I beleive its called. I know there are versions from 3 companies and perhaps ill try the custom mod. Ive been searching the forums to my best ability and cant seem to find anything.
Hopefully someone custom makes these.

A totally sealed intake/enclosure forcing induction from the front of the car? basically. and if anyone had one for sale ill pick it up in december. i just want to pre shop and be prepared.

M2 or Apexi in my oppinion. I can get you the apex one too. But Personally I wouldn't waste the money cause you're eventualy going to want to go single turbo.

The airbox intakes contain one filter just like the stock airbox where both turboes are fed by the same airbox. This is what you are looking for if I understand you correctly. M2, ASP?, ARC?, Pettit?, I can't remember all who makes them but start searching RX7 specialty sites like www.RX7store.net , www.gothamracing.com , etc... Kepp your eye on the banners at the top of the forum pages cuz they will link you to some great sites! Happy hunting, Kyle..

The m2 box, uses two filters. My M2 unit is missing one filter. I'm currently using that filter on my quad. The m2 unit has a aluminum peice that screws onto the carbon fiber box....so that each turbo gets its own air filter. (This is the way it comes.)

I had an additional aluminum plate made so that if someone wanted to use this with a single turbo setup you could. So it could also work with a single larger filter. Its just to tight of a fit for me to use....so the m2 unit sits in my shop. CJ

Thanks for the info CJ

Any idea where to find these guys? I'm searching a lot of the popular RX7 specialty sites and no one seems to have airbox intake systems....
