Thank you Matt. Yes I agree with you on being proactive but me being me I would buy a new filter before the rubber would dry out. But as I said, that's just the way I am.

Worst case, cut the bead off.

The ms6 will be in this weekend, promise!!

For those of you that have a MS6 with our full 3" intake with the stock battery, we had a MS6 in today to figure out the problem and solution. The problem turns out to be nothing other than me screwing up and not realizing that our test car had a replacement battery that didn't represent the size of the stock battery. This led us to advertise that it fit the MS6 when it in fact does not fit without modifying or moving the stock tray.

I worked on a solution today that will move your battery back while securely mounting your stock tray. We will be sending out the fix to those that we know have a MS6, and once the fix is verified, will be including it with the intakes for the MS6.

I apologize for the problems you guys incurred trying to make this fit. I will post up some pics of the fix once I refine it tomorrow.

Thanks
Matt

Great customer service right there.

Not many companies would take blame for something that happened with a product, let alone make a part to fix the issue and send it out to previous customer.... That is badass!!

The makers of my intake "sure" wouldn't...can't wait to replace it with an HTP this summer! Just can't decide if I want a 3" or a 3.5"

I Tapped that

Are you rocking a stock turbo? If so.... The 3in is prolly the biggest you want to go

I have a 3.5" on stock turbo. I love it. Pulls hard up top and holds more boost.

Given the option, I'd pick the 3.5"

The K04 is only gonna flow what it can, so anything you can do to make it's life easier is gonna help. Being sure that it's never ever starved for air flow is a good start, and a fat solid wall of air is a good thing.

Exactly. Why limit the k04 when you have an option to let it breath better.

What colors are available for powder coating. I am debating on whether to get the 3" or 3.5" intake. Only trying to see over 300 with stock turbo. It seems that some people have trouble dialing the 3.5" in. Any suggestions?

The 3.5" is fine. 2 maf cals and I'm good. They have a lot of options for powder coating.

When I first replied to you, for some idiotic reason, I was thinking the pipe went down the hole to the wheelwell. I haven't the slightest idea why I was thinking that, I've taken my hot pipe on and off many times for various reasons. So I know better. Guess I'm just stupid.

So, anyway, I got my custom version of the HTP due to the fact that that I've got a nonstandard Steeedspeed turbo manifold. It is hitting my CPE hot pipe. But, I believe the problem is that it is now too long. If I have HTP shorten it again, it'll fit fine. And, probably the regular version will already fit with the CPE. I think that when I had mine elongated, I had it elongated too much. At any rate, for pictures, see here:

Exactly why I have been hesitant to buy the 3.5" intake and asked the question.

Well, HTP has been easy to work with to accommodate my nonstandard needs. I'm sure that after the next pass, it'll fit perfect with the CPE FMIC.

I got my HTP tray and 3" full intake kit a few days back. Love the quality and the finish. I wish you guys made more shit... Not like I need an extra excuse to spend money. Bastards...

Just got my 3.5" intake and tray in today. Can't wait to install.

Installed. Will take better pics when the weather is better.

Better pics of the intake. It sounds badass during boost. Overall, best part I have gotten so far.

I installed my candy red (w/ chrome smoke base) HTP 3" Intake a while ago and forgot to post my impressions. It looks awesome and pictures don't do it justice. This intake sounds amazing! ... not too loud, but lets you hear the turbo spool, air sucking, and BPV sounds. I wouldn't want a silicone intake if it would be any quieter. Love the sounds exactly as is. I installed all my mods at once, so it's hard to comment on power gained, etc... but with the mods in my sig I'm making around 290whp on 91oct as per VD, so the intake must be doing its job ;)

Thanks HTP!

HTP we the speed6 guys or guinea pigs for you full 3.0 intake stiil awaiting on the on the fix for correct fitment.Do you have any updates? is been 2 months! or if you dont have a fix dont make false promisee.

I hear calling a company is a much better way of communication than using a forum.

sent with smiles and mouth hugs

It will fit, but you might damage the finish. I posted pictures of the stock battery with this intake in this thread.



FWIW, I have contacted @HTP; by email twice recently and I haven't received a response either time.

Email still isn't a phone call.

We rushed and made a solution. We test fit it on the 2 local cars that we have access to, it works just fine......only problem, both cars have OEM replacement batteries. The replacement batteries are not the same dimensions as the OEM battery. The main problem is the height of the replacement batteries, no worries, we found a customer that had the OEM battery and our 3" intake. We have sent the relocation plate and hold down spacer for test fitting and have been........awaiting its installation. Until then, we know it works with the shorter replacement batteries (the hold down spacer just isn't used).

I honestly didn't want to send out this fix until it was absolutely verified. I also really didn't want to post up pics of it because this solves the rubbing issue on other manufacturers silicone intakes as well and didn't want the fix to get "borrowed". When its verified, it will be included with our MS6 3" intakes and be available for purchase separately for those having the issue with other products. And for those of you who've already ordered, please contact us directly with your order number and we'll send the fix to you once it's verified.

Sorry for the delays
Matt

Is your name Douglas?
If it was an email that was a request for something to be fabricated, then it's my fault that you haven't got a response. Katie forwards all fab requests to me and I have been snowed in on our Z06 product line most of this year. We completed our record setting products for the Z06's and are back to giving love to the Mazdas.

If you guys don't receive a response, please give a jingle. We really don't want anyone to slip through the cracks.

Matt

Yeah, that was me. Is there an email address I can contact you directly at?

I'd love to slip through your crack Matt. I'd go gay for your welding.

The sales@hitunedperformance.com is fine, that way Katie can keep a tab on emails she has forwarded me and remind me constantly that I need to answer them. I have time freed up now so I will be more diligent with getting fab questions answered.

Thanks! We post other projects on our Facebook page HTP Automotive if you wanna ever check out what we are up to. I would add a link but I don't computer.

You guys shipping out any of those 3" systems today? Getting a little stir crazy waiting for my 3" @HTP intake system (ordered through Edge). :01:

I spoke with our powder coater earlier; he just got back from vacation yesterday. Right now he's playing catch up and is running a bit behind with our stuff. I should have everything back from him before the end of the week, if not sooner. Once it's back in my hands it'll be out the door asap. We do apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience!

On a positive note...we're mid-demolition right now and expanding the shop another 4000+ square feet to include our own in-house powder coating services (among other things) which we'll have up and running this summer!

-Katie

Got the HTP 3.0" system installed, love it, low key with all the flow you need for the K04. Sounds awesome, quality is there, dialing in the MAF now. :saevilw:

Thanks for the amazing product @HTP; love my new 3.5"

Love from HTP. I'll post pictures once everything is in the car.

Thanks everyone at HTP! That was pretty quick shipping!

Intakes Now Available!
 

Not cool, I only got one tootsie pop with my order, lol.

So @HTP; whats the latest and greatest on the Speed6 3" intakes? Are they available and shipping with the battery tray to fit with stock size battery? Might be ready to ditch my CS if I can fit this in nicely and still have my battery secured. My stock tray is so butchered up trying to fit my CS in with their cold air box it barely holds the battery in place.

Does the 3.5" intake system have the TIP built into it?

I really hope your drunk

now with three times the hate

MEH

Here's an idea......go to htp's website to see what's included. OH MY GOD NEW IDEA. Idiot.

now with three times the hate

Been there done that.

There are others that say full intake that don't include the TIP from other manufactures. HTP also sells a seperate 2.5" and 3.0" TIP.

I'll just call since I gotta ask about powdercoating anyways.

EABOD

I have respect for the folks at HTP, so I'll refrain from ripping on you in their section and just leave this here:

http://i.imgur.com/FFRtmq8.png

Their description says what it is. Please show me a link to a company that advertises a full intake the way htp does without being a true full intake. Please. I beg you. Gfymwgfbbbc.

now with three times the hate

Clearly he doesn't share the same respect since he decided it was appropriate to cuss at me.

now with three times the hate

Yes, other manufactures have said the same thing (i.e. short ram or full) and it didn't connect as a TIP. As I just said, I'll just call. I feel like I'm stuttering repeating myself. A simple yes it does or no it doesn't would of sufficed and not the back talk.

Yes.

Thank You.

what was said can not be unsaid.......because i done did quoted it already.




also....yes.

I was trying to be the bigger man which is why I removed it. I know it's forever immortalized in your quote and honestly I still feel the same way about this forum weather it's in your quote or stays in my head.

Can't be a bigger man after the fact. Silly.

HTP sells MAF housings, TIPs and Full Intakes. And the website has pictures.

In case you guys wondering if HTP 3.5" intake will fit with JBR battery tray, here is the picture of it. It is indeed very tight with the intake rubbing the ECU wiring harness. Tried with all sort of methods (trimming the coupler to turbo so that the intake shift closer to engine) and none of them working well. The MAF is practically touching the harness. End up, we were drilling new holes on JBR tray to mount the ECU closer to firewall.

The intake was fitted to GTX3071R ATP turbo. It pushed the turbo inlet further out compared to OEM K04.

For a short term fix a piece of coolant hose cut open and wrapped around the harness will prevent damage to the wires (or the powder coat) but moving the ECU back might be best; still hate how most (all?) relocation kits leave the top of the ECU exposed.

I ended up going with the HTP tray because it sits back an inch or two further then the JBR one. Hope you are able to get things adjusted enough and like @Yatta; said, you can use a bit of hose over the wires to provide a buffer.
