Can't guarantee anything here, as there has to be a probability of steady of sales, and given the initial costs to build up an intake pipe (if referring to a Zetec kit). Duratec pipe may be possible, since it is smaller and would use less material, but making these parts out of carbon fibre would guarantee a higher price than standard aluminum pieces.

Regarding the air boxes, they could be potentially made in 3 different ways.
1. Real carbon fibre
2. Simulated carbon fibre
3. Fibreglass, gel coated, paintable.
Please post here or maybe another post should be started, regarding the type of box that would be most likely chosen. Number 1 would most likely be the most expensive, number 3 the least expensive.

Looks nice, I want one for my moms car, can this be mocked up to fit an RU3530 setup w/out SC? If so I might want one, what would the price be?

I'm looking for a duratec pipe
Higher price would be fine as long as it's not tooo much higher. Wouldn't CF be better than aluminium for heat resistance?
What are the chances of it happening?

I will leave this open for now as I am to be meeting with these folks this coming week. I'll discuss it with them during our meeting.

I can say this much, the more interest in these products, the more likely that they would (or will) become a reality.
