We are currently working out complexity in the design to help reduce cost.... Still plugging away. Have been told to get this thing put to bed (design wise) so that we can move forward. Lots of feedback from you guys and we are just trying to make sure we cover as many as possible...
If I had to put money on this I would say mid - to - late summer as long as tooling projections are good.

Well, whatever floats your boat... err, Jeep.

OK.... OK.... I have to give you guys something without giving anything away. I think this early concept art might do the trick. It shows what has already been discribed. Please let us know your thoughts.

Your napkin drawing has good concept, and if you can do the base in a way that it could couple to different ducts that would be excellent. Just have some Alan/Torx head bolts so someone could swap out depending on their application. Which would also be in line with the design of the Jeep.
(1) Raised "Ram" intake
(2) Low mount intake
(3) Pre-filter intake
Caps head bolts will secure with two stage sealing steps on main intake housing...

I hope I can ask this question in an understandable way...
So I was looking under my hood the other day trying to figure out how this goes together under the hood.. How much cutting at the firewall will be required? Also I am guessing I'll need to re locate the battery?
Do you have any diagrams of the components under the hood?
