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.
