Hello IS members and guests. Today my Provisional patent arrived in the mail. After months of research, development and testing, I am very proud to bring you an 
exclusive first look!
The Manta Ray CAI (Cold Air Intake) system for the VK powered FX45 2003-2005.
It is a fully enclosed system that uses a heat shielded High flow cone filter and very little metal to allow next to no heat soak possible. To me, other intakes available are more or less short rams pulling in hot engine compartment air. The Manta Ray CAI is sure to cut the heat and increase the air volume injested by the VK. It weighs almost 3lbs less than the factory setup. Designed to be streamline simple, yet effective, It has significantly better flow over the stock intake. It Uses larger diamater tubing stepping down gradually from 5" to 3" at the Throttle body opening. The Manta Ray also has a non obstructed, smoother air path by relocating the Vaccume and breather tubes. The debri collectors and emission dongles are long gone as well. There are two different styes of the MAF housing. They are custom made out of T65 grade aluminum. The first is for 03-04 round style and the second is for 2005 square style. All Silicone tubing used is made from thick re-enforced 4 layer.
To answer your question in advance, no I do not have before and after dyno numbers. I can honestly tell you that I feel better throttle response and helps the VK to breath the faster you go. I felt a huge difference at highway speeds. Let's be honest here, it's just an intake. You will probably yield a modest 5 to 8+ hp increase depending on supporting mods. I wanted to contribute something new for the 45 owners, because we seem to get left in the dark too often. The Manta Ray CAI is not only easy on the eye; it seems to go really well with the engine bay. It's not overdone or Ricey. The Manta Ray kit will come with everything you need, including 8 page color photo, step by step instructions. I will have a limited number of them available to ship in the next week or two. For IS members only, I am selling at a Discounted price of $280 + shipping . On Ebay I'll be selling them for more. A few are spoken for already, if you are interested shoot me a PM. Please understand that I'm not in this to make a bunch of coin, my profits are slim. I am just one man, putting these kits together by hand for the love of the FX. I am not a company mass producing. This is a trial run so if there is enough interest I will order the parts to put together a second batch.
For the 06' and up fx45 owners, I am working on an intake for you as well. Since The Manta Ray CAI is modular, it will share at least the Heat shielded filter and custom MAF housing. With a few variations and some hands on fitment, I am optimistic that a working prototype will emerge soon. Because of the design change I will have to apply for a new provisional patent, so please be pacient.
Thank you very much.
