Notice the radiator venting is removed. Is that just for the pics or does it remain removed in order for your intake to fit?

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!

Interested to see how this performs and looks vs. the Halltech unit that has gone MIA recently. Headers are obviously a very quick turnaround product but intakes take a lot longer to produce apparently. Looking forward to it LMR.

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.

nice work my only experience with a CAI was a Haltec on an untuned C6 Grand Sport. I got the performance gains but had frequent "surging" in my motor. Will this perform smoothly on an untuned C7 or will it ned a tune?
