Cold air intake really worth it?

has Mdesing ghosted others like this before?

I’ve seen postings about it that yes, they are ghosting people and/or extremely difficult to get ahold of. I’d just do a chargeback and if you really want an intake, there are a couple decent ones out there and the most popular is the EPP intake (https://www.ecopowerparts.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=159).

I tried to buy an MDesign intake a few years ago. After a couple months I cancelled it through Visa since I couldn't get a response from MDesign and I then totaled my SHO. At the time their site indicated the intake was in stock.

A month after that the intake arrived. I immediately mailed it back with insurance. So then they started sending me invoices through PayPal (which I never used with them).

After providing the shipping/return info to prove they had received it they stopped contacting me.

Jeez what a nightmare. The main reason I wanted MDesign is because it gives me room for a meth kit in the freed up space.

Anybody know MDesign phone number so I can contact them I have tried email and still no contact.

They might not be in business? The facebook page I found hasn't had a post since 2018. I can't open their IG link on the homepage. If you know the city maybe you can drill down to get a number. The good and bad about the internet is you can design a webpage to look like you're a thriving company and you could be a dude working part time out of your shed.

Pretty sure they are defunct now.

Everything I read says they simply are worth doing on these cars. Is there really any benefit other than cool turbo noise? My car has a drop in k&n, catless downpipes, tstat and 3 bar tune.

CAI's are more for overall sustained HP vs peak, just helps breathe better on the back end. Peak you may see a gain of 1-4 whp (being optimistic) but where it really shines is the back half of the dyno on the top end of the rpm range.

I already told you how to get a response from them.

A lot of us have our methanol kits in the front bumper. Heck I've got my methanol kit and my battery in the front bumper. Plenty of space

I tried a charge back but still nothing

Defunct or not they still managed to take my money.

You can't cancel the card transaction? How long has it been since initial sending of funds?
