will be surprised if you make more power than just a drop in air filter could produce. The stock intake is pretty damn effective. Looking forward to the results!

Reminds me of the "whale *****" intakes for Hondas.

Guys, this is a very long process to develop the correct system. It is currently in 3D scan and I should be able to share more pictures sometime next week. I promise you guys this Cold Air Induction System will be one of if not the best system on the market once completed. That is from a design aspect, quality, and performance!

Put me down for one guys! Call me at the shop tomorrow if you need a CC for a deposit.

Anyone who thinks the factory cold air (or anything else for that matter) cannot be improved on is sadly mistaken. The factory cold air may be extremely efficient with a factory engine, but what happens when all of us start making more and more power?

The LMR CAI system is still in development and will be tested over the holidays and beginning of new year. Product should be 100 percent complete and ready to ship by end of January(that is our goal). Our Heads/Cam package is going to pick up significantly with our cold air induction system. I cant wait to show you guys a finished product.

I believe the only air intake on the market today showed 13hp gains on an engine dyno and a 19rwhp gain on a car with Heads/Cam. The system looks great and seems to preform well.


Installed one of our prototype pieces on the dyno today for some testing. Initial results where 13rwhp and 8rwtq. This unit is on a BONE stock automatic car. Car made 410rwhp stock and 423rwhp with this test unit. We plan on making small changes and will do some more testing late next week with something closer to our actual production system. Remember, we are still in the R&D phase so this prototype piece is not great on the eyes. We will not release this system until we know it looks/fits as well as it performs.

Here are some CAD pictures of what should be our finished product. We will have our final test unit this week. If all is well, we will be going straight into production. This is not utilizing the stock air filter, the rendering just looks similar in color. Enjoy













If anyone has questions feel free to post or PM us.

We are very excited about this system and hoping to have more results as soon as we get our unit. We have already seen some crazy gains with this system installed on our Cam package, looking to see results on factory vehicle.
