I contacted Cobb directly the other day and they said another 3 weeks at least until the next batch gets shipped to distributors. As of now, they are 100% on backorder through every site and store imaginable. I'm pretty sure all of the other sites go with the same procedure where you can purchase one through their websites at the moment, and then they will charge you when the item physically ships and not at this exact moment (so you won't be out any money until your SRI is on the truck or plane to your house). Hope this helps and remember, patience is a virtue!
I had one on back order with PG, then another vendor, forgot which one, posted that he had 6 in stock. Before the afternoon was done they were gone. I was on 247 when he posted, so I PM'ed him immediately and got one. This was back in May. Sometimes you just get lucky.
Look on Ebay, I have seen them on there. Be patient and get the Cobb, you won't be disappointed.

These guys had 12 in stock as of last week.

Yes but unfortunately cannot be made as easily as hot cakes...
The news was that there were quality issues so they ditched one third party vendor and had to find another...so at least we know they are committed to quality...
but yeah doesn't make waiting any easier...(hand)
nice to know i wont have a POS when i finally get mine. i think i can manage waiting a month if that's the issue.

They can not charge your card because that is the law. Hopefully they are keeping track of back order quantitys from all of their vendors so everyone is sure to get one. With the ammount I see being ordered it is likely everyones order will not be filled as timely. They will get what they get and hopefully honor first come first serve. I have a CAI right now and am getting one to get me through the winter.
burr i hate old man winter and dont miss it one bit! I'm from the Dakota's and that was not a fun time. I love the desert! It makes me cold just thinking about the cold.
This was the e-mail I received from Street Unit when I placed my order on 07/21:
The Cobb Short Ram Intake is currently on worldwide backorder and will be for sometime to come. Cobb has indicated a part shortage and is telling us around 8 weeks before they will be shipping them again. Are you OK to wait for the product to be back in production/stock?
We do have another option from HKS which is very similar it is a short ram intake with a design almost the same.

Cobb SRI
I had the same prob. back in June. When mine did come in the vanes in the sensor were warped. Talked with Cobb and they're shipping me a replacement as soon as the new ones come in. Otherwise easy install. Goes like stink. Not ever sure if the warped vanes are hurting anything. Looks like someone popped the housing out of the mold a little early.

you're not going to be taking anyone that's been backordered because Cobb has specific amounts of units that they will ship out to vendors according to how many they ordered. cobb HQ will have the same number of SRI's in the main warehouse regardless (since they sell directly they must keep their own quantity as well). oh yeah, cobb HQ also takes direct orders through phone as well. just fyi to all the others that aren't located in Utah.
hehe that was me
. The latest I heard from Cobb is it will be another week before I get more in. Who knows how reliable that is. Its been about two months between shipments. I don't sell what I don't have and I'll be sure to post. The last time I listed the 10 that I had they were gone in about an hour.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cobb-Cold-Air-Intake-for-2008-Mazdaspeed-3_W0QQitemZ280254569850QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280254569850&_trkparms=39%3A1|65%3A1|240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&timeout=1218632253781

Man, no lie! I know they're cool and I like mine, but I can't see it being worth what may top $250! I had to wait ten days or so for mine, but it wasn't a big deal.
