Mishimoto's 2017 Type R Intake R&D Thread

JLOracing said:

i have installed a couple of them, and have verified no clearance issues on them, one shown here. I have seen on many cars that not all chassis tabs and mounting points for things are always exactly in the same spot, they have to fall within a spec, but often times you may have multiple points that are off slightly making something off a decent amount, like 1/4". You could take that intercooler hose, loosen the clamps, very slightly rotate each end and suddenly will have plenty of clearance, so if the assembly tech was off slightly, then you may have contact with the box

agreed, it's really not a big issue..like you've said, minor adjustment should free up some clearances.

Hey all! What's the best website to buy this intake?

A company called Tuner Goods. They're pretty awesome! You might have to talk with one of their reps though. They only sell wheels, air suspension and coilovers on their website.

I bought mine mid june from maperformance for 380$ and i got it in three weeks after.

I’m pretty upset with what went on with my intake order. I was told earlier this week by Jarrett “they are back in stock and one should be shipping to you in 24 to 48hrs.” Then Nick also told me “that intake components should be back in stock in the next week or so.” Now it’s been over 4 days so I contacted mishi customer service to find out if it shipped because I received no emails. Well come to find out I won’t be getting my intake till late August. Justin from the customer service team pretty much told me that those guys were completely wrong. Now I’m upset. I’m happy that the guys at mishi gave me sponsorship to help out on the deal so I feel like I shouldn’t even be posting this..... however i spent a lot of time explaining to my group of friends (typersociety) to go ahead and start ordering the intakes again becuase they are back in stock.... well now I’m a liar. Not cool! Wish they could get these things back in stock or at least give out the actual time frame on when they will be back instead of the false hope

Just last week I ordered one from Kamispeed. Wonder what that means for me?

Mishi, I just wanted to let you know that you guys have an outstanding customer service guy named Tim Martin! He helped me out through all the confusion with my order and sorted out all the backorder info and got me one shipping out! He was oustanding to talk to, chat with, and email. The guy needs a raise lol! Tell him I said thanks for all of his hard work! -Brandon Taylor

lets hope i get a shipping confirmation.. 2.5 months in here.
