Stillen Intake?!!!

I'm loving the brakes Josh, I'v already gotten multiple compliments on them! Good call on going with the black. I'm still breaking them in so I haven't really been able to play with them yet, but I'm only about 50 miles away from being able to start using the 101 freeway as my own racetrack!

Keep me in the loop with any decisions that are made over there regarding products being developed for us 2nd gen's. Thanks again for working with me on ProjectFX, as well as the pick up & drop off's at Hertz! lol

Unfortunately as Tony has mentioned the R&D is more than we were hoping for to move the Gen 3 Intakes over to the FX platform. The Gen 3 Intakes utilize some existing holes in the composite front core support, and in the case of some models takes slight enlarging of these holes to accommodate the intake piping.

With the FX35, these holes are not present, and the likelihood of someone wanting to create them for this isn't realistic. There is space in the engine bay to consider going a different direction with the longer tubes, which has shown to create the best horsepower out of the VQ engine, but that would take significant R&D and dyno testing to prove those gains.

With the original Gen 3's, we did over 55 variations of the intakes on the dyno, which enabled us to get the horsepower gains you've seen independently proven on the boards. Simply making a pipe and sticking a filter on the end is not how development happens. That being said, we're analyzing the costs that we estimate it would take to put these into production, and weighing that against the interest we've gotten from enthusiasts looking for these. I know 15-20 guys getting together sounds like a lot, but in order for us to keep the pricng down (remember this is basically TWO full cold-air intakes), we need to build these in volume, especially considering the expensive cutting and welding jigs that need to be developed to ensure perfect reproduction of these pieces.

Unfortunately its a similar story for the exhaust system. The front section is fine, but the rear would need to be completely different, and would need to be developed. Not a difficult R&D project, but again the jigs are expensive, and we'd have to be certain there is a market for exhausts.

The strut tower brace would also be a brand new part, there is no similarity to the previous gen's version, as the towers are much wider with the 2nd gen.

The AP Racing brakes do fit, and we were able to get those on Tony's FX without an issue, and hopefully he's enjoying those as we speak.

These items are not on the NO list for production from us, but we're looking at interest levels to ensure they make sense to move forward on.

When you add on your name have to update the GB interest list or you may get left off when it comes to production considerations.

I know Hollywood won't be needing an FX intake at this time, this list needs to be updated and/or possibly re-created.
