I honestly can't say I've ever seen one for the M42, aside from the S42 race engine ones. Why do you need a carbon intake?

Well, it depends on point of view, but it is far away from plans to fully functional prototype.

From what I understand, he's developing an intake similar to the one on the S42 made entirely out of cf.

well, i haven't thought about making more pieces than one, not yet.First results should appear after winter, so there's still a lot of time

That would be so sick if I could get my hands on a valve cover like that.

So, is he trying to make an airbox that is like the one pictured above out of carbon fiber??

No one is sure what he's trying to do...it's top secret.
