everyone is just now finding out that what the guy from k&n told me a week or so ago is true. k&n has JUST finished deign on the intakes, he said the company doing production has not even completed retooling yet. it's weeks and weeks from being completed.

i'll explain by saying that it's not finished with production yet. go ahead and pay the company for it and see how fast they tell you it's on backorder or some bullshit lol... they shouldn't be advertising if they don't have it, but unfortunately some companies do.
i'm sure the dude at k&n i talked to knows more about what process their products are in
besides that not even the right intake. it's just a stock picture

I hate to say I told you so. My company buys big-time from K&N (we're in LA) and I had my purchasing manager call them to get the intake (at cost of course). They said its weeks away from being available. I think Gravana is just looking to get orders.

yeah i really don't know why they think a k&n employee would lie to me about the product coming out at a later date.. it makes no sense.

Hey has anyone here heard of the Weapon R intake for the RL. Over at redlineforums there are people showing dynos of a 20hp increase with just the weapon R intake. Would that thing fit our cars?

The guys in customer service at K&N are way behind in the product updates.
