SoLo, Have you thought about making anymore of these other then just the 1? I would be interested in buying one. Please, PM me if you would entertain the idea. Well done on taking the initiative to get this done! I really wish we had more options for our X5M's but I guess you got to start somewhere. Last edited by Travis1807; 03-02-2016 at 07:43 AM..

I don't want to hijack your thread but thought I would share my progress on the same type of intake. For more info please see my thread in the

So much want!!! While this was just using parts I literally had sitting on the floor, I quickly found the issue with the tubing clearing the radiator/brace & hood. I figured it'd either have to be solved by swinging wide like SoLo did or going oval like Travis did. No offense to SoLo because he did something no one else has yet, but I like Travis' design much better. I'm torn though...SoLo has a wide sweep much like the MSR design so there's no tight bends, but that top plate kills the look of it...but I'm assuming it's for bracing, which is something Travis will need to incorporate as well. Either way, I'm super excited to see something finally released for us. Someone complete one and let me test it already :-)

Maybe it's just me but having to lose half the engine cover for some shiny tubing that may or may not yield minimal gains seems like a fruitless effort. Of course I could be wrong but I'd really like to see a comparison of this setup vs stock with say some filters and ram air scoops. I will applaud the ingenuity you guys are putting into this project though.

It's something that can be done, the vendor just said they'd want 10 confirmed people before they'd make a jig to reproduce it. Anyone interested can email me at m5james@yahoo.com.
