GI: 505 Cold Air Box Round 2

I've been getting a lot of requests for these over the past couple weeks, so I think it's about time for round 2!

Please check out the original GB thread if you're not familiar with this piece: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123823991-505-Cold-Air-Box-GB

Edit - The actual GB thread is now live, and you can find it here:

http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123846244-505-Cold-Air-Box-Round-2-*GB*







The Gist:

- Cold air temps (tested up to ~145*F colder vs SRI under normal operating conditions)
- No hydrolock risk that is common with standard CAI setups
- Less filter cleaning vs other SRI and CAI setups

The Details:

Add yourself to the list if you're interested and tell me what you need, be it a full kit for sedan, or a box only for wagon, etc. I also need to know if you are turbo or N/A, and what kind of finishing option you want.

Pricing from the original GB is going to hold up about the same, and I need upwards of 10 boxes to make the old prices work and get this party rollin'. (rockon)



The tl;dr:

Because there are so many combos here, please list the following:

A) Headlight style
B) Kit type (full kit / box only / box and pipes)
C) N/A or turbo
D) Finishing

****

Example:

1. 505zoom - sedan - full kit - turbo - polished
2. xxxxxxxx - wagon - box only - N/A - anodized black
3. xxxxxxxx - sedan - box + piping - N/A - powdercoated silver
4. xxxxxxxx - wagon - full kit - turbo - bare

Noob question but in terms of the cut out for the P5 headlights, where and how does that work? I still have the stock intake and I know that it has that ram air duct right in the middle of the hood, but in terms of this, where and how does it get its air? Also does anyone have a video of what these sound like? and in terms of gains, what kind of gains are we looking at? I know alot of the other CAI and short rams actually lost power over the stock.
 
Indeed; out of curiosity, Rich--what would be the cost for a run for the currently-placed orders?

I want to give this another week as I have just put up a couple of redirects in other sections. I will inquire about pricing for smaller batches next week and we'll take it from there.

The box is form-fit to the backside of the headlight, so that is why there is a difference for the P5 vs sedan. All of that stock junk gets removed. I will look for a vid of how it sounds... pretty sure I made a little vid for that at some point. As for gains, I did accelerometer testing and didn't see a difference versus my old injen setup. Definitely didn't lose any power with this. I also did temperature testing and the difference was incredible versus a SRI.

I'm interested...just want to see the final word on time and pricing. Still interested in the old one you had too; just never got the pictures and got a little distracted at work.
