    Custom HotShot intake order...

    OK..lets start a serious list of folks that would like a custom made chrome hotshot intake for a non supercharged VX. (assuming an affordable price)

    Please post your interest so I can see how many we really have and I will phone him for details and prices if we have the 10 interested parties!!

    There is no commitment here other than just seeing if we have enough...then we can work him for the price...ok??!!!!

    LETS DO IT!!!!!

    THERE IS POWER IN NUMBERS!!!!

    PS...While you are at it...how many would like a custom fabricated cat back PV exhaust if we can get them made also? Who knows?!!! ...or is it cheaper to go to your local shop and have him bend and weld one around a new PV ???

    Oh oh. Here we go again!

    I actually bought a used one from a ex-vxer a while back. It's a nice product but wouldn't mind getting another if Hot Shots did a smoother air-flowing re-design instead of using the same hacked up version. I agree with hchen, a custom cold air box would be a nice addition.

    And, what's a "moody"? ;eekr;

    ps. I hope you're working with an actual employee of Hot Shots.:rightg:

    Cut the stock muffler off and weld in a PV and move on to better mods - the return on a cat back is NOT worth the extra $$ unless you just have it laying around....

    Good luck with hot shots - they were so great at customer support the first time...

    Moody as in Don Moody. He was the guy who was nice enough to start a bulk buy on VX intakes from Hot Shots but then messed the whole thing up on us

    Hot Shots was not very nice to us or Don after the whole Moody VX cold air intake fiasco!

    I have been patiently waiting for a new re-designed intake for the VX that not only looks cool but one that is functional as well.

    I hope some one can put an end to this long awaited intake deal for all of us!!!

    Oh, I was there through it all VehiX! I was just being facetious.

    Seriously, I have both Tone's PV muffler & interceptor, and the hacked-up version Moody chrome intake, and this seems to be a great "bang for the buck" combo, except for a supercharger. My only gripe is not having a cold air box and/or heat extractor on the insert as the intake will draw in hot engine air.

    I guess we'll see how round 2 will go.

    I'm in, I was around for the whole "moody" thing, but didn't have my vx at the time. My question would be who's gonna prototype the "correct" part??

    Just extending my "good luck" to you folks. Unless you can get a VX out to HotShot, They will most likely have the same problem they had last time..... no vehicle to prototype from. Moody took his Trooper there and it was fabbed from that. I would rethink before I just jumped in. To be honest, the pipe looks nice, but it still has rubbing space between the hood insulation and the engine bay. The rubbing will scuff your pipe. I am speaking from the one that was cut to actually fit the VX. If they use the same design, you will get the same problem.

    I really think they need a VX to get it right.
