Thumbs up Mina Mandrel Intake Tube

Guys, I was on with Mina today ordering my lowering springs, and Chris let me know of a new product that isn't even on the site yet. They are now offering a custom mandrel bent intake tube. FINALLY! comes with a silicon ninety to connect to the TB, and all the correct bends. It is not even up on the site yet, but they are offering it. I ordered my springs at the same time, and so I got it for 130... I am not supposed to tell anyone that. Just thought my XJR/XKR X308 brothers would want to know.

Looks like I'll be calling in the AM. Awesome news! Was the only hangup I had, going back and forth on the decision. Wanted the finished filter enclosure but didn't want to spend that kind of money on just a filter and surround, only to spend more making the silicon setup for better flow that wouldn't have that "finished" look without some effort on my part. Maybe I should think of a "support" question about it before I call so when I do, they can say "hey, great news, we got this new thing..." and I can pretend I'm surprised?

The execution was not so great:

Seems like Mina is more of a bling vendor than a serious performance vendor.
