Descendant Racing Intake in COLOR
 
I have a proposition for y'all. After seeing the purple paint job Papa Bear has for his intake, I asked what I could do to get a different color than black or chrome.

To make it worth his while, it will take a total of 6 of us to purchase custom paint schemes. It's an extra $60, but that's because it's a true automotive paint with base color and clear coat shot in a booth and baked on before shipping to us. I don't know what it runs in your areas, but the local shop here wants $100 just to spray paint my taillights dark!

So, yes, I'm doing this because I really want the red CAI for my car, but I think it's a slick way to get an intake to truly match your color scheme.

Again, here are the details. Please post it up with what color you want if you're in:

Item: Descendant Racing Intake
Cost: $250 (free shipping)
Colors: Red, Gold, Purple (maybe a different color with enough demand???)

Colored Intake Signup List:
1. MightyP - Red
2. WellesleyScion - Gold
3. johndeo11 - Blue
4. DEF3NDER - Blue (sciontc2.com)
5. pearlwhite_z - Gold
6. ???

I was just wondering if the other (not injen) CAI on ur site can also be converted to SRI?

Papa_Bear 05-25-2011 06:23 AM

Are you referring to the takeda?

johndeo11 05-25-2011 07:13 AM

@mighty-is the $250 already painted?

MightyP 05-25-2011 07:17 AM

^ Yep. $189 in chrome or black or $250 in color.

johndeo11 05-25-2011 07:19 AM

oh okae. dangit need to save money then. lolz

MightyP 05-25-2011 07:46 AM

Definitely! The price is incredible whether you get it in color or not. Excluding the Obnoxious Performance website, the Injen intake is generally running about $260 and the Takeda intake is going for over $300. And both are just in your standard black or chrome.

A quality, custom paint job will normally cost you more than $60 unless you happen to know a paint guy.

I don't have any dyno sheets from descendant yet, however I have access to all current intakes available and currently they all follow the exact same path with identical piping size and a similar filter. All the different gains these companies are putting out is really just a play on the dyno numbers. This intake however just happens to be a fraction of the price :)

Just ordered my descendant intake and motor mount! Papa Bear rocks!!!

Scratch 05-25-2011 02:34 PM

Just confirming, AEM Dry Flow Filter?

mdiluxe 05-25-2011 02:40 PM

I got my injen intake for $221 and coated black with free shipping. Never mind, i see that it's a aem filter.

TankedPilot 05-25-2011 03:23 PM

Any photos of the Descendant Intake installed?

Papa_Bear 05-25-2011 03:26 PM

The intake filter is an AEM dry flow filter used in the kit.

Photos installed will be up tonight!

Kareem_Descendant 05-25-2011 10:22 PM

PS We should have pics and dyno sheets up in a few days.
