XERD Product PICTURES!!!

The CAI also messes with the emissions as well. Flipside said that he failed w/ the Injen shortram.

Did he actually fail the emissions test, or the sight check? The Injen short ram only got CARB approved fairly recently, so he might not have had a CARB sticker on his. If the inspector sees this obvious mod, and it doesn't have the CARB sticker on it, I believe you immediately fail. This is regardless of whether the emissions test comes out OK. At least, that's my understanding of the process here in CA.

We made a big enough hole in the bracket so it could move around and not damage in time, we put some time into our intakes when we designed it and besides we offer a warranty on our products so if anything does happen to it you will get a new one free of charge.

Please understand that we dont make CARB legal parts, this issue has been covered already.

hey eyal,
I'm sorry I'm gonna havta back out on the CAI's. A situation came up and I havta lend some of my savings out. It was kinda more important than my cars performance. Leaves little room for a cold air intake. I apologize but this just isn't as important anymore. I was skim227 btw. Today is a sad day for this solara owner...

[Danny]

You dont think ive tried that...ive tried spacers, brackets, rubber,urethane. etc. You still didn't answer my question as to how much road test time you have on this, ohh also if the angle is wrong on the filter or it gets too much ram air our maf sensors cause the car to shut off if you have the clutch in/nuetral and coasting above 65. Believe me its not fun almost went into a gaurd rail with no power steering and weak brakes

Most everyone that his been on this site knows about my CAI, and i personally know that you can make a fortune off it especially with 40 people that already want to order from you. And i saw your gaurantee but how do you plan on making money if they all get returned, are you gunna pay for everyones shipping too? Good Question huh?

Buyers beware, i have been devolping a CAI for quite a while now and my first one broke after a week, 2nd = new mounting technique broke after 2 months. So once again back to the drawing boards.

Just keeping an eye out for everyone on this forum feel free to ask me any questions. or him for that matter.

Mine is not for sale nor am i trying to sell a product to anyone at this givin time. This is stricly looking out for everyone.

40 customers x 180.00 = 7200.00 thats a lot of money to be made.

do you even own a solara?.....

www.xerd.com Cold Air Intake

Please keep checking back for new intakes being release for your vehicle. Our Intakes have been designed for maximum air flow and power gains and are available in either blue, red or chrome finish."

LETS HOPE IT WORKS!!!!

[aka lildk50]

no offense danny, but i heard some good things bout xerd. it's cool that you're lookin out for us. and do u work for a performance part company? i jus ask b/c if ur doing this all on ur own then it causes some fault in ur argumentation only b/c ur a random person n xerd is an actual company with actual products. if u do tho then can we see some pics of ur stuff? like where it fell apart n messed up?

[Danny]

I work very closely with uprd in westminster. If you want pics email me. Im not going to go around showing a prototype Until its finished. Ohh and no offense takin by the way.

[XERD]

Danny,

I can understand and even appreciate you trying to look out for the people on these forums but with no disrespect this is our intake and not yours, i am sorry you had issues with your intake but please leave us out of it as you really have no say about our product. Where were you 3 or 4 weeks ago when we advertised, now we release the product and you "warn" everyone, doesn't sound right to me.

Again we put thought into our design and we dont see any future problems with it and yes, our warranty does cover everything. If someone will ever have a problem with our intake we will replace it free of charge and pay for the shipping as well. I appreciate you trying to "look out" for our profit and all but let us worry about that.

We are not a little garage that just started making parts, we have been making them for a while and we have zero, I repeat zero returns so far.

The intake is released, it has about 40 miles on it so far and the car feels great. We will get dyno results in the next few days and people can make up their own minds.

No, i dont own a Solara but we have a test car for all of these needs, does greddy own every car they make parts for?

Thanx, Eyal

[Danny]

40 miles. wow hey! 40 miles sure does tell you umm. NOTHING any way yes people can make up there own minds your correct. Good luck on everything wish you the best...

ohh i especially like the part where you compare your company to greddy thanks for the midnight laugh.

[pecora55]

haha i just think someone is mad that he couldnt get his wannabe CAI to work...dont put down another company just because youve had problems danny. everything has its problems...shoot AEM CAI's brackets even break and you send it back and they give u a new one. does a thing called a warranty ring a bell? they put time in things they dont rig it up in their house....

[XERD]

Danny,

Dont take it personal. I really do understand what you are saying but i think it is a little out of place. We did and will continue to do our research on this product and if something does happen we will take care of it and our customers.

No need to argue about your version and our version, two different intakes from different sources.

Eyal.

Guys come on chill out. Danny is looking out for us and now you are giving him a hard time. He is asking valuable questions so chill out.

XERD, have you done a baseline for the solara yet? If so what did you run. Also are you using an auto or manual?

[lildk50]

I kinda agree w/ yanks...this is startin to sound like a who's dick is bigger contest. I mean i've seen danny's ride n it's pretty ballin so I respect his questions. At the same time tho Xerd is puttin together a CAI that NO ONE is doin so I like'em b/c they think of the good ppl I think i mite be willing to take the chance w/ the CAI tho. Jus my own personal choice Which btw I'm tryin to pick up some extra shifts at my job to make up the cash hehe. The only thing is Xerd, will i really fail a smog test w/ ur CAI?? Remember ppl, i'm retarded w/ cars so if smog n CAI's have nothin todo w/ each other please keep jokes to a minimum

[Mole]

if everything else is stock (exhaust, Y pipe, oem cat) etc, then you should be able to pass smog sniffer, however the visual may be a different story.

Im sorry i just like to make things that dont break, i know how warranty's work. And also my wannabe CAI is just an extension of your exsisting shortram 2pc = more flexibility hint hint ( i wonder why the CAI for the v6 accord are 2pc). Hmmm makes you think..

Thanks for the people who actually see where im coming from.

Do you all really think 40 miles of roadtesting is sufficient? I have over 3000mi on my intake. Once again im just looking out for everyone. If you need to read my posts again youll see that im just asking logical questions. And stating common facts about out cars.

[pecora55]

CAI's for every car that i know of are 2 pc..but this isnt a true CAI that goes down into the fender from the looks of it...its just an extended intake....lets just wait and see what happens
