Group buy from prostreetonline.com

Hey guys.

This is Alex from prostreetonline.com

I can help arrange a group buy on the Aero Intake Kits . For all people who are interested in this group buy, please email me at alex@prostreetonline.com and put in the subject line "Aero Group Buy"

Currently:
Less than 5 people = $125 each.
5 or more people = $110 each.
10 or more people = $100 each.

I'll report how many people we have, and how many more we need. Please don't email me with that subject line unless you are truly interested, so we can get an accurate count.

If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to email me, or ask me here. But once again, if you are going to ask questions about the intake, don't use that subject line above, so I can keep everything organized and clean so the process will go smoothly.

BTW, sorry about the image not working on our site. I have fixed this.

Thank you!

So what are we lookin' at, in terms of a GB, for the Injen CAI? If we can all get in for the low price of $190, as posted earlier in this thread, I'd definetly be in.

I think we'd all like to see some specs before putting in money for a group buy. At least I'd like to see some `=)

What kind of specs specifically?

Thanks!

enigM@ · May 15, 2003

possibly a dyno compared to aem and injen?

I think a lot of people on here won't be happy until there's some dyno test results - they want to see the graph. Also, we'd like it to be CARB approved - we don't want to have this thing fail our smog check in California. We'd maybe like to see the instructions for install - yes, it's way simple, but we'd like to see how everything connects. Someone was concerned about how the MAF and temperature sensor go in. People want to know if a K&N filter will fit in there. I realize you may not have answers to things like the K&N filter, but these are the things that have been brought up. I've probably forgotten some others.

I apologize but we don't have this information.

For an accurate dyno of this, you would need two identical cars and only change the intake for a dyno.

Sorry.

PatrickP5 · May 15, 2003

I think a dyno versus stock would be reasonable.

We do not have dyno numbers, I'm sorry.

In terms of the carb approval, this item is not carb approved due to the type of air filter it uses. If it was carb approved, it would be much more expensive because the manufacture needs to pay for the carb approval and go through that process. It's a trade off. We are based in California, and feel your smog pain with a lot of the aftermarket products out there.

We have not installed this product on a customer car, and unfortunately, until we do, I won't be able to provide installation instructions. However, once this group buy is over, I would be more than happy to add our customers step by step install how-to on our site, so that future customers can have an easier time installing this product.

Everything needed for install comes with this product.

Thank you for your time.

I don't know why everybody is insistant on getting dynos for Intakes. If you are buying an intake to get more hp then you are wasting your money. With our engines you MAY get 1-2hp from a SRI and MAYBE 2-5hp for a CAI. You will never see any significant hp gains.

The only thing you will truly get from an intake is better throttle response and a little more tourqe at the higher bands. Oh yeah, ther is also the nice sound.

The only way to get hp gain is to get Intake, headers and exaust. With this you may see around 10-12hp gain.

flat_black · May 15, 2003

I agree with Hawk. =) I don't really much care about horsepower gains with the intake, but the throttle response is what I like. I don't really want to be sucking in super hot underhood temps, though, so this is a good solution. I also don't like CAI's, though I can't quite explain why. Hehee. Just something about it. This intake in particular fits the bill nicely for me, and I'll be picking one up, pretty much for certain, now. Hopefully it'll keep the intake honk subdued enough for it to be subtle.

Yeah this intake looks like it has a half decent design. Somewhere between and SRI and a CAI. You should definately get more cold air than with a regular SRI. But if you are not too worried about looks those ebay ones for $40 will do the trick. I can't see them being much worse than an AEM.

7th_Shadow · May 15, 2003

I agree with both Hawk and Flat on the intake. if i had the $ today i would just buy it and try it. The design looks decent kinda similar to stock and Sometimes you gotta try some things out and not worry about dyno graphs so much.

I e-mailed John from prostreet and he said it comes with instructions.

You are correct. The manufacture provides instructions, but we don't have our own, because we haven't installed this product on a customer car.

The product will come with manufacture instructions.

Please let me know if I can be of futher assistance, and I appreciate your interest in this product, and our site!

Thank you
