    Karbonius have confirmed two reinforcement pillars have been used (just like their CSL airbox).
    Awesome thank you! Heck yeah

      Karbonius has just confirmed production starts next week. The price they have provided - 1,280 Euro - is a once-off for people on the list and will subsequently be $1,395 Euro. You will need a unique coupon to get the introductory price, which will be entered when you order on their website. I will send Karbonius the list and they will provide the coupons, which I will then send to individuals.

      I've tried to contact as many people as possible who previously expressed an interest and I'm pretty sure the list is up-to-date but please check:

      Delivery dates will depend on how many people place an order. As I understand it, you can make x plenums from one mould before it breaks or becomes unusable. So, depending on numbers they may need to make a second mould, which will take some time.

        Do we need to provide an email address?

          They haven't said so. I'm anticipating that they will provide a series of coupon codes (e.g. coupon01, coupon02, etc) and then I just send a code to each person. I could be wrong though! I will confirm with them.

            Karbonius have confirmed they will need email addresses as they will be sending the coupons to people directly.

            So, I will be sending PMs to ask for email addresses. If you don't get a message from me, please get in touch!

                  Will you be updating (or someone else at least) when they send out the codes? I'm always wary of new incoming email getting caught as spam.

                    I will 👍

                      Quick update:

                      I passed on a few more questions to Karbonius, which they are addressing.

                      One person asked if forged carbon is possible for the plenum, with the answer being 'no'.

                      Another person asked if it is possible to test the plenum to make sure it doesn't result in a loss of power, which Karbonius is going to do.

                      A few people also wanted someone to test the plenum before buying and Karbonius thinks that's a good idea before making it available. They will send the first one to me and I'll test and report back.

                        You have an Eventuri right? If not I can pull mine off if needed.

                          Yep - I've got an Eventuri. Getting decent representative sound in a video is a challenge, but I've been trying a few things, so hopefully I'll have a good process when the plenum arrives. One thing that would be good is to get a Perth car with a full CSL-style intake for comparison. Do you know anyone?

                            Some good news: the first production plenum has shipped and is on its way to me.

                            I'm hoping to do some side-by-side testing with a local E46 M3 owner who has a CSL-style intake.

                            Karbonius also has a plenum on their E46 and are putting some km on it.

                              Did the codes get sent out yet? I've been checking my spam also daily.

                                Not yet. Because some people wanted a few things confirmed before committing (no power loss and testing by me), they are going to wait to send out the coupons.

                                Sorry - I should have made the above clear!
