any latest news on the frankencar?
has anybody heard any latest news on the 4th gen frankencar intakes? i ordered mine like a month and a half ago and still haven't got it. I heard that they were going to ship them out last friday, but i'm wondering if there was any truth behind that statement. I've emailed them quite a few times with no responses and i understand that they are busy, i'm just asking if anyone has heard any latest news

I don't think we have any other choices but to wait. I asked for a refund two weeks ago, and you guessed it -- no response.

I also ordered an intake for my 4th gen about a month ago in August and has yet to get it. I contacted Steve many times and got a reply that it was out of stock. Just today 9/03 I contacted Matt and he told me it will most likely be shipped by this thursday. I hope so too so I hope this help everyone else.

The main reason why I was going with this intake was the APEXI filter!

The sad part is that even if we wanted to help we wouldn't be able to because there is no physical address.

I've waited exactly 2 months now as well. I thought this would be my first mod lol. Dammit, I also thought I would have it to boot around in the summer, so I ordered it and didn't want to wait for the group deal. Now I think I should have waited and saved some $ too!!!
