    I'm interested and hoping to get one in the next little bit. Heard the bracket for the pillar is horrible though.

    Still thinking I'll go airflow. I really want one of these. Does PayPal let you do that pay it off in 6 months no interest?

    I'm actually not sure if they're offering that now or not.

    So I saw someone mentioned somewhere in the 22 pages about running the airflow with a CAI. Is that possible? I still have my stock intake lying around, but just wasn't sure if there was any benefit or downfall or if it's even possible to hook the snorkel right up to the CAI.

    Too many to list now.
    Its definitely doable, you're really just getting the benefit, if there is any, of the different filter type. I knew I could, but I put my stock intake back in when I put the snorkel on. No ragrets.

    As for stock I was told mod march I should be seeing some. I'm really REALLY hoping thats accurate this time as we've been out for 6 months. If you guys would, please organize yourself onto this list so that if and when I get them in I can promptly let you know and get some out the door for you.

    This a group buy or just a list of who wants one. I'd definitely like to add myself. But my wife just said no to right now.

    Not sure what you mean by "horrible" but the only issue I have or had with the A-Pillar bracket is the fact that the hardware provided was cheaply coated steel. A quick SS swap and it's all good!

    Mine wasn't really long enough to make a good snug connect to the snorkel so it ended up ripping out.

    Interesting.....that blows! This is what I initially thought when I did the install, but small modifications to the mounting holes on the fender made the whole assembly fit better along with pulling the snorkel closer to the a-pillar. I was slightly amazed cause nothing ever ends up fitting "perfectly" but my pillar mount was pretty damn near in the end.

    Depending on how much it "ripped out" you could probably get it to fit much better and utilize the mount. :notsure:
