Gruppe M intake for B7 RS4
#4
Group M from Japan told me today that delivery time is AT LEAST 3 to 4 weeks. Also, when doing the YEN to US DOLLAR conversion, I realized that there wont be many of these coming state side at $1,400.00 a shot. Oh, and that doesn't include shipping, duties and taxes.
Will see if Carbonio will have a kit available in the next couple of months.

Some follow up on the Gruppe M air-intakes.
After communicating with Japan and the yen to dollar conversion rate this intake unit costs very close to $1,600. Add to this they say the buyer has to pay taxes and other import duties (whatever that means).
For me $1,600 for 5 to 7 hp gain is no deal.
My shop checked with Carbonio and they may have an air-intake system in 3 months for the RS4. Estimated cost are going to be in the $500 to $600.
I will plan to wait and see what develops.
I knew this company would be expensive based on my experience with them before and ordering an air intake for the 997 GT3. The price was $2,900 and it was ordered in Aug '07 and I'm still waiting for it.
Make your own decisions.

Reviving a dead thread here. I thought this might be relevant reading material.
