MANIFESTO · WHY UNDER THE HOOD

An OEM cover is plastic.

Ours is architecture.

Most factories close the engine bay with the cheapest panel that passes acoustic targets. We open it instead — with a piece worth looking at, lighter than what it replaces, and engineered to breathe better when paired with our intake.

The result is the rarest thing in modification: a part that improves the way the car drives and the way it photographs.

OWNER QUESTIONS

Before you commit.

Do the intakes need a tune?

No. Our intakes are calibrated to work safely on the OEM ECU map. A custom tune unlocks a further 8–12 hp on top of the published figures.
Will the carbon survive engine bay heat?

Yes. Pre-preg autoclave cure at 125°C and 6 bar pressure produces a laminate stable to 180°C continuous, with a heat-reflective backing on cover panels exposed to manifold radiation.
Are the gains real or marketing?

Every intake is validated on a Dynapack hub dyno against the same car, same day, same conditions. We publish the lowest of three pulls — never the best.
Twill or forged weave?

Covers and intakes ship in 2x2 twill as standard. Forged composite finish is available on request as a bespoke commission.
