aFe intake for SHO group buy

[Blackhawk]

I have no affiliation and no benefit but mods please take this down if not allowed.

aFe is about to release their revised intake which includes a cover now.  Previously it was just advertised for the explorer sport.

The cover is nice...but why is it metal? That defeats the purpose entirely. If they did it in plastic it may be worth it.

the lid is plastic.

The box part does appear to be metal. Not sure why they went that route. I will ask and try to get you an answer.

I saw they listed it as powdercoated, hence my questioning. I learned a long time ago, putting a metal CAI in place of a stock plastic one, almost never is worth it. Hardpipes in a turbo system are one thing, due to the pressure, but for the intake IMO there is no reason not to run a plastic one.

Currently have the Airaid CAI but would really be interested in this one...and maybe a second if they do one for my 98 Mustang GT and would include it in the group buy. But even if they nix the Mustang would still be very interested in one for the SHO.

Will this fit the Flex?

 

[SHOdded]

It should.  Crossreference k&n or airaid intakes see compatibilty list.  That would be my guidepost.

 

[gtmorgan23]

Im waiting for mine. I am in the first 25 group so Ill post up about it whenever it arrives.

 

[ZSHO]

The intake is compatible with the SHO/FLEX/XSPORT AFAIK & should Fit!  Z

Anyone know the price these are going for?

Anyone know the price these are going for?

I think if you were in the initial group buy you got it for $249 with an included cleaning kit.

I think regular price is $299.

Dont quote me on it but I believe that is what I remember.

 

[mjhpadi]

I am about to register, but sure would be nice to know pricing....

 

[gtmorgan23]

im trying to get confirmation on exact prices.

 

[gtmorgan23]

What I was told:

If you can still get in the pre-order then - $250+tax and free shipping, comes with a cleaning kit.

Normal price will be $299+tax and shipping.

 

[10sleeper]

Yep, told the same thing.

 

[SaveMelMac]

Curious if anyone has got one yet? Or any word on a release?

 

[SaveMelMac]

Just got an email today saying they are shipping at the end of September

 

[10sleeper]

Just seen a message giving the 25% off code and seems they will be shipping out at the end of September. Just ordered mine!

 

[SHOdded]

Well?  Any updates from anyone?  It's lonely out here in webspace

Supposedly have just under a week to take advantage at the old price then it goes up to 299.
