Just received an email from CT engineering..

"Unfortunately we are working on a second prototype of the airbox, and do not have a release date at this time. We will be releasing the Carbon Fiber Grille first, and will be working on a supercharger in the near future as well. Thanks for considering CTE."

CF front grill? Im assuming its going to be like the TSX version. Hopefully the icebox will be released soon..

 

Nice... CF grille might battle with the RJ grille... BUT ... i dont think CF will flow all that well

Icebox was my biggest concern, or at least immediate concern..... S/C is GREAT to know they are developing... i knew they would

everybody and their mother is going to own the 4G TL (just like the 3G) in about.....2 years

 

I agree, not sure the CF grille is going to look good on the 4G.

 

well at least we might be getting some choices to look at. i'd have to see the CF first. Might not look bad on CBP. But until i see it, i still want the RJ grill.

 

I'll probably get the Icebox when it comes out, but for now I'm just waiting on exhaust parts. Then I really have nothing else to do but wait for the supercharger... that will be going on the car as soon as it's released.

i am DEFINITELY going to supercharge this car... the AWD needs it... imagine a 400hp SH-AWD 3.7L TL....

i too, will wait for the Icebox.... i dont like the idea of SRI's in my car....

 

comptech better use an MP90.... no way an MP62 is powerful enough for this car

 

Well technically the Icebox is a short ram...

And they won't be able to use the MP62, the motor is too big for that. It won't be anywhere close to efficient.

 

yea i know, but at least the ice box is "stealthy" looking.... looks like an OEM intake (at least what i saw on the 2G)

So, we cant have a CAI, because of the brake cooling duct? i am sure some reputable company will create a mount or something to use the oem duct, or maybe even provide us with one...

 

I agree, the icebox is definitely sharp looking in the bay. Well you could just leave that piece on the car so your cooling duct stays in place. I think you could build something around it, but the R&D people probably don't want to do it. I read through Takeda's install instructions and they actually don't tell you to remove ANY of the stock resonator piping, just the box. The dyno on the short ram is pretty impressive though. But I've always been much of a fan of using a pressurized box for an intake, I just feel like it's better system and cleaner because the element isn't so exposed.
