Finished cutting out all the CF V2 today with my trusty air saw.

 it takes about 30 minutes to get one to look like this. There is still a long way to go before it is finished , but it's ready for the next step.

Though I have cut out all the V2s they still need finishing. I am going to try and finish all the V2s while I wait for the V3 Adaptor prototype to be molded. There are several V2s in stock, so this will be the last run of them for awhile.

Have sold a couple but there are still a few V2 available in both CF and ABS. Order now because there won't be another run for a few months as I will be concentrating on the V3. PM me if you are interested or want a price quote.

$15 discount on all Carbon Fiber and ABS V2 intakes until this last run is sold out. I am doing it for the V3 project. PM me if you are interested.

For those of you that have already placed your order and are awaiting delivery, no worries, I will PayPal a $15 refund.

There are still V2 available from a run I did  back at the end of February . I tied up hundreds of dollars  in the CF material and hundreds more vacuum forming them. I need to sell them to recover. the investment. The $15 off represents the pure profit I make on them. The rest of the mark up on them is to cover expendables. The plastic shop needs to be paid for the V3 I ordered and I am short. I have to sell at least one V2 to cover the difference. If I did not have this V3 project everything would be cool ?, but I am stressed and have over extended myself. If I cannot sell at least one V2 the V3 project will stall out . Someone please step and get a great deal and help launch the V3. I am so desperate that the next person to buy a V2 will receive a very special discount on the V3 . I thank you all for your support.

I am sitting on what is left of what could be the last run of V2s that there may ever be. It is looking like everyone who wanted a V2 has one. As I cannot afford to do a run for only one order these very well may be the last V2s to be made. This is especially true of the Carbon Fiber ones. The only way I would do another run is if there was enough demand. And demand is very low right now.

 

In the future, unless the demand picks up and I can do a run, I can and will make one V2 at a time but . ..The cost of set up $65,  and loss of  group pricing, will drive up the price of making one at a time. So I can say with confidence that you will never see prices this low on the V2 ever again. If you are thinking about getting a V2 then best to act now. I am not a salesman. This is not a gimmick. It is just how things are right now. I am telling you all this because I want the V3 project to be realized, and it has stalled out just when it was ready for production. I thank everyone again for you support. PM me if you want one of possibly the last V2.

Just a reminder that I have both CF and ABS V2s in stock from the run I did last February . They. Fit 2015 to 2018 Edge all models. These are most likely the last ones I will be making. If you have been on the fence about getting one now is the time.and last chance before they are gone forever.

All the time I have been working on the V2 I have thought of it as a plenum chamber for the snorkel. Today I realize that the V2 is not only a plenum chamber providing a smooth air supply to the snorkel no matter the demand, it is also a Ram Air Intake as well with air being forced into it across the entire grille. … Cool ? Ram Air  :rockon:

I have a few CF V2 in stock. These are the last of the CF V2 as the material to make them is no longer available. As such I am closing them out at a substantial discount.  $40 off on  all remaining CF V2 . Once they are gone only the ABS will be available.  Fits 2015 to 2018 Edge -- All models and engine combos. 

PM me for more info.

Hello everyone, It has been a long time. My 2016 Sport is still running strong, and GT Mustangs are still its favorite food.

 

I just shipped a Carbon Fiber V2 Ram Air Intake,  and WOW shipping has gone through the roof, $62.77 to ship ground!!! There is still one CF V2 in stock but, it has a small blemish about the size of a grain of rice.  If interested I will sell it at the old price. If I were to do another batch it would be the Black ABS as the CF is still difficult to obtain and the cost has become prohibative. With the increase in shipping, material and molding costs,  I would be forced to rase prices to cover expenses. For me to invest in a run like I use to and sit on them until a order came in would now require a substantial investment. That is something I cannot afford to do, I have been sitting on this last batch from April 2022 and just now have sold out except for the one blemished CF.   I wish I could do another run but the economy,  new Income Tax law on anything over $600 income a year taxed at 25%. It was $20,000 a year.  That 20K  limit helped millions of people hustle a side job and put food on the table, now with new laws and  80,000 new IRS agents.. forget about it ...  The V2 would  have to become a business and the price with shipping would be ridiculous. The business would be doomed to fail before it even started.  This was my hobby and a labor of love that has been taken form me. It not only affects me, but my Edge brothers and sisters. I am very happy to have been able to contribute something however small to this group. Perhaps if 4 or more of you got together and were willing to invest then wait a couple months another run could be done. This is the old ABS price. I have always kept it to myself and to inquires only.  

Old price - ABS V2 Ram Air Intake- $125 + **$45 Shipping + $5 PayPal fee = Total of $175 shipped

A new price would have to include the 25% tax I would have to pay, increase the shipping to $63, Increase the PayPal fee to $9 and increase the cost of the V2 to cover new inflation cost of materials and molding.  Labor has always been free as it is my hobby. I am guessing about the molding and material cost.  Let us just say for example it has gone up 30 bucks  in the last two years.

New price would be around $155 Black ABS-V2 Ram Air Intake + $63 Shipping + $9 PayPal = $227 + 25% tax $56.75 = $283.75 shipped. 

That is over $108 more than they were just two years ago. I just don't think at that price that anyone would be interested. This is just the economy we are living in, brought on by the current administration and their new tax law, otherwise the V2 could still be in production.
