I PM'd, and I'm in.

And congrats on the wedding!

Hey Qwiketz,

I purchased an intake from you previously and the plastic coupler has cracked throwing the car into restricted performance.

Can you please guide me in the direction to find a replacement?

Thanks.

Wow, that's the first time I've run into that since the hoses are reinforced. You can source a replacement from intake hoses.com . It's a 3" to 3.25" reducing coupler.

Hey guys,

Since there is another intake tube available on the market that has a better fitting for the breather hose, I'll be holding off on making more of these. Let's see how the other ones work out. It's great that there's a second source of these now.

What you could do now is order from the other member that Qwiketz mentioned:

Exactly. It's not the crappy mina one. The other one has the fitting that accepts the stock breather hose (an improvement over mine) and I believe he's sending them out polished which is a nice touch. Quite frankly it's cheaper to go through him than me so why not let him have the glory.
