Gruppe-M Intake
I need to get some information in this intake 
First off, can anyone confirm that this intake is now discontinued?
Second, does anyone have a website that sells Gruppe-M intakes for the s2000?
I went on the Japenese site, but i was wondering if their was a specific place where people buy this. I have an oppertunity to buy a used Gruppe-M intake and im wondering if it pays to buy that now or wait it out for a new one.

Check the website, I don't see it listed anymore so it could be discontinued.

As far as I know, 6 months ago they still offered it but they delisted it from their website. I'm not sure why it was removed form their site though.
Try emailing them at sales@gruppemeurope.com, info@gruppem.co.jp or ogose@gruppem.co.jp. The last one is the founder/president of GruppeM.
You can order the intake directly from GruppeM Japan or Europe. I don't know of any US distributor that sells it.

if you are going to buy new, I'd go ASM... same basic design, but it has a snorkle on the intake side instead of just an open tube in the engine bay.. JMO, and it's not planted in any form of testing other than looking at the two... I've never seen any dyno runs for either...

The Gruppe-M looks awesome, but it still takes air out of the engine bay, so it will likely take in hotter air than the other intakes with a snorkel attached. Also, this eliminates any "ram-air" effects you will get with the snorkel. For the money, I'd go with ASM or J's Racing. Same basic design, but with a snorkel to the front of the bumper.

medialstudent should get his car dynoed so we can see what kind of power gain his ASM gives him
its like the J's and Mugen in the way that they are more functional driving than standing still on a dyno.
