I inquired about and know they stopped selling the intakes.
... says every single tuning company in 2019. That car has a cult following, so I don't blame them.
BINGO. SSR moved on from the stinger. This personally is the reason I refused to buy anything from them at the time. I knew they would cash in quickly and bail.
Personally, I didn't like the design of these intakes. This is almost the identical design I had for a product my G37 was used to R&D. The gains were minimal on an NA car and theoretically wouldn't have substantially larger gains on a turbo car. The path of travel is too long. They do have good products for BMW's, my cousin has a few items of their products for his M235. Although I still wooped up on him on 1/2 mile race from a dig...lol
Does this CAI system have some type of air bypass valve incase the filters become saturated with water at highway speeds?Just got asked that by another forum member as well.. here is what I told him:
"Applications very similar to these have been well tested in the rain, so unless you're driving through a hurricane / freakish storm.. you'll be just fine
So as stated, behind grille applications like these have been used for years now on BMW's (a platform we happen to specialize in) and we have never seen issues come up. With test after test being performed on them and the intakes passing every time, there is nothing to be concerned about in normal conditions. As mentioned though, it probably isn't the smartest idea to drive through an insane storm with these on, or any other open element filter intakes, for that matter.

They don't sell them anymore.
Midwest thinking. Short ram intakes would give less power and heat soak. However, it won't freeze up in the winter.
As far as I can tell, they are still out of the Stinger game. This is a very old thread which was resurrected.
