505 Cold Air Box Round 2 *GB*

(rockon)


Production is finally ready to begin on the new and improved 505 Cold Air Box. This version has all of the same benefits and features as the first gen boxes:

Benefits:

Lower intake air temps (testing shows average 5 degrees above ambient outside air temps, shielding your filter from the up to 180+ degree underhood temp)
No hydro-lock issues like every other Protege CAI
Much cleaner filter location than other CAI's, prolonging filter life and extending time between cleanings
Looks great under the hood (anodized black or silver finish is standard, also available bare if you want to do your own custom finish)

Boxes include:

Trim-Lok edging
Attached quarter-turn quick-release DZUS fasteners
IAT sensor port
Stainless steel mounting hardware

Piping kits include:

T6 aluminum piping
Silicone couplers
Clamps
Hose
Breather port
1" BPV port on turbo models (optional)


In addition to the above, the 2nd generation boxes are now designed to work with any BJ platform headlight! This means that you '99-'00 owners can now get in on the fun!



The overall shape has been changed a little bit from the original to eliminate the need for a specific box style depending on what headlight you have, so it now looks like this:

Full kits are available that include everything you need - box, filter, piping, and hardware. There are 4 different full kit styles available - N/A, MSP, and 3" turbo. Full 4" systems are custom (I will work with you and go over pictures to get you the best possible system for your setup).

- N/A uses 2.5" piping plumbed straight to the throttle body (with the MAF in the middle).
- MSP is for stock-ish setups that use the stock turbo and have the MAF on the intake pipe.
- 3" turbo is for setups that have a relocated or deleted MAF and a turbo with a 3" compressor inlet.
- 4" turbo is for setups that have a relocated or deleted MAF and a turbo with a 4" compressor inlet.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you relocate your MAF on the MSP setups. The piping and filter setup is MUCH better.

Individual pieces are also available- the Cold Air Box by itself if you want to fab your own piping, or piping kits if you want a quality lower-cost SRI setup without the box.


Options and Estimated Pricing:

Box only (3") = $209
Box (3") + filter = $229
Piping Kit only (N/A, MSP, 3") = $129
Piping Kit (N/A, MSP, 3") + filter = $149
Box + Piping Kit (N/A, 3") = $309
Box + Piping Kit (MSP) = $319
Full C.A.B. Kit (N/A, 3") = $329
Full C.A.B. Kit (MSP with relocated MAF) = $339
Full C.A.B. Kit (4", MSP with non-relocated MAF) = $359

* Final pricing will be announced before deposits are taken, but I do not expect these to go up much if any. If we get 20+ people it might be possible to bring pricing down.
**All prices do not include shipping. Actual shipping costs for your location will be due when your kit is ready to ship.
*** Custom upcharge options are available (within reason). Let me know if you want something different (no window, no A/C line cutouts, upgraded filter, etc) and I will see what I can do for you.


Deposits will be taken once the list hits 10 or more people, and production will then begin. Estimated time from deposit to delivery is 6-8 weeks.

Stock and other brand aftermarket piping setups do not hook up to the box. The box-only option that I offer is for people that want to fab their own piping.

thanks for the info, are all these just made to order or will you have a few on hand after the list fills up. reason i ask is, i'd like to purchase but just a little strapped for cash on the project fund right now.
 
Piping kits are all mocked up, and ready to head over to Wes for welding the breather/bpv nipples.






The 4" kits always make me laugh a little every time I look at them. So massive.

So everything should be wrapped up with Wes by this weekend, and I'll be dropping the boxes off at the anodizer early next week. Fasteners get here tomorrow, trim-lok gets here Monday, so things should be ready to start boxing up late next week or early the following one depending on how fast the anodizer goes.

If you guys are cool with it, I would like to leave the couplers un-trimmed on this batch. I had a couple kits on the first batch that were close to being over-trimmed, and I would like to avoid that this time. With everybody's setup being a little different, sizing them on the actual car they are being installed on is the best way to go, but if anybody needs a pure drop in installation I am ok with trimming them here like I did on the first batch.

Lastly, I have always done the piping in polished, but if anybody would like me to get them a quote from the anodizer for black piping I am down with that. It shouldn't be much extra if we add it in with the boxes.

Let me know. Cheers fellas.

Sorry that I somehow missed this earlier. The 3 extra boxes are all doing to the anodizer with the rest of the batch, but the piping kits are made to order. If you'd like to get a box that is NOT black anodized, then I need to get a deposit before the end of the weekend. I also do payment plans for anybody that would like to go that route.
 
4 inch for all the boosts hahaha, gunna be good :)
 
I would be fine with the couplers left long, No issue for me. Polished piping is preferred for my kit, all my other piping is polished anyways.
 
Everything is here as far as trim/fasteners/etc. Boxes are all bent, but as of Friday were not finished being welded. Pipes are all 100% prepped and also still at the welder. I was told he would try to get as much done this weekend and early this coming week as possible. Shipping boxes and packing material are here.

I will snap pics as soon as I get stuff back from welding and before I drop it all off at anodizing. Will definitely be wrapping this batch up really soon.
 
Boxes/pipes are FINALLY done. Picking them up this evening and will post some pics. I'll get them cleaned up for anodizing over the weekend and drop them off Monday.
