Ready to race!
So this is my first group buy trying to organize, and I really like this product! It is made by Simota, a company out of Taiwan (http://www.simota.com/company.php). There is a US dealer in Florida which this order will be placed through (http://simotausa.com/), and so far Glen has been very helpful in getting quotes. I talked to him today about a group buy to reduce costs, and get Simota some US exposure. I first saw this intake in a post awhile back http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27261&highlight=simota
The intake is very similar Carbinio installation and will require an additional oil breather depending on your engine (CBFA). The best part IMO, is that this intake does not take up a bunch of room in your engine bay (without the filter on stick BS), yet still looks GREAT. DETAILS!
-100% handmade carbon kits, well performed in heat isolation.
-4 layers of high quality silicone have these excellent features: deformation resistance, anti-expansion, greasiness, withstand pressure, high temperature resistant, anti-vibration, over all it is extremely durable.
-Specially designed chamber to storage air in order to increase air flow velocity. Horn shape designed at air induction path based on aerodynamic to extract maximum cold air directly
Simota USA is asking for ~30 day lead time in order to manufacture/ship products to us and is asking $299/intake This price is based on an order of 6 units and since these are MADE TO ORDER, the price may go down which I will look into once I know there is interest!
SAME PRICE AS CARBONIO! Takes up less room, unique look, good form/function, quality air filter. Yes this is a new product, but wasn't everything at some point?!
FYI, 3rd thumbnail has additional hardware for 1.4TSI, but since this is for the 2.0 there is no need for the curved piece!
Also, check out their website for intakes designed for engines other than 2.0TSI, they all look pretty slick and I am sure I could arrange a replacement!
