RC2 Performance intake...
I have posted this info on the other forum, so I thought I would help out anyone over here as well on this new system. Here is the original post including dyno videos off of youtube...

Here is what I know so far...
The system is new, only one unit out there as of now. They haven't done an official release, and are coming up with a retail price and an intial group purchase price as I type. I'm trying to verify the data on this, but their patented Square Tube Technology has a 27-percent larger cross-sectional area than that of round-tube systems, and it distributes air more efficiently because of the much-smaller degree of "bend" leading into the throttle body, compared to the stock tube's aggressive curve. In a round-tube setup, air stays close to the short wall of the tube and thus the long wall experiences little flow. With R2C's 4" trapezoidal shape, the distribution profile is said to be more consistent across the entire tube. He will be sending me some more data and I will post the filter flow and filtering charts for all to see.
Stock L99 platform dyno results Mustang Dyno. The LS3 is even greater. V-6 is underway.
17 WHP average gain(waiting on a dyno chart)
The best filter available for any high performance application. Oil free, no solvents. While fully washable with mild detergents, it’s maintained by directing 40-60 PSI compressed air from the clean side out and it’s ready to go. Efficiency over 99% compared to 88-95% for oiled gauze. It will last as long as the car.
Heat shields are black, silver or brushed aluminum with color options. Filter screens can be color coded as well.
I have the restriction data for all the filters used in the first chart if you want them.
P.S. I have nothing to do with this company. I just wanted more info on this setup as the technology looks promising. I am willing to be the go between for all those interested in more info.

I don't have anymore pictures at this time. I should be getting the dyno sheets and the restriction data soon. I guess the bean counters are working up a price as of now too.
I'm hoping this will all happen before the holidays, but I doubt it. I'll keep everyone posted.
