WTF, no diverters in the endtanks? Poor! I'd much rather see Cobb do that fanned inlet TMIC, that design would've kicked ass. This looks like just another ordinary FMIC + unnecessary expense.

anyone here a word from Cobb about this? bump for info!

**boxtwo** · 11-28-2007, 11:27 AM

All my thoughts have been said already! Sweet, bling, wow, expensive, etc.

**RallySportDirect** · 11-28-2007, 01:08 PM

No word on the carbon, however a FMIC with standard pipes is in the works.

**fullerton** · 11-28-2007, 01:22 PM

any word on the fabled TMIC?

***VSGTS14*** · 11-28-2007, 01:33 PM

We will do a press release and a vendor announcement once the kit comes closer to production. Dont want to spoil the surprise

Bump for an answer to this.

Piping is just an overlay. Look closely at the ends. Same thing as those interior kits. The tanks on the IC seem real, though.

The pipes ARE full carbon. They where made out of a cast, and then overlayed with carbon. I believe that these pipes where made only hours before they took off for the sema show. So not enough time to knock the casting out.

that explains it. Dinan was doing carbon intake piping a few years ago. Definitely not the easiest to do real carbon piping...

***Tomerville*** · 03-11-2008, 08:29 PM

Any info on this piece yet?

TheLimitedProject · 03-11-2008, 09:48 PM

^Tomer, from what I remember, Cobb said it was a one off just to show something they could do, and it was never intended for production.
$$$$$$$ being the problem.

**RallySportDirect** · 03-12-2008, 09:01 AM

Nothing yet. Many things at sema are one offs that never make production. However this is something that they are looking closely to mass produce once they have a FMIC kit available made out of standard materials.

***Tomerville*** · 03-12-2008, 12:51 PM

I was really hoping just for a standard aluminum model, and not the carbon fiber. I shot them an e-mail, so if they have anything interesting to say I'll post it.
