Correct. They don’t accept PMs. You’ll have to tag them or email. Found that out tooSame here, seems to be specific to the recipient, not a user restriction.
Sent DM to be added to update list!We will keep you guys updated. We can also add anyone to a wait list and also send new information via email.
@ROAM Looks really good. Do you have a rough idea on when production units will be for sale? Also do you have a price point you are trying to hit?
We've thought that we were getting close a few times already, but there have been a few delays along the way due to issues that have cropped up either during development or product testing, and because we've more of an engineering centric company culture wise this will probably more of a "it'll be ready when its ready" type of scenario. (But if it helps we're about to rapid prototype another batch this coming week and if they pass validation and durability testing then we're about a month out from that point on, assuming if that is the revision that we end up with.)Wow... that's the 2.0 engine in the pic!?!? I thought all the good stuff came for the V6 first
@ROAMAlso do you have a price point you are trying to hit?
MSRP will probably end up at somewhere around $499 and up depending on the if it'll include the integrated light mounts and what air/water separator assembly you go with. Intro pricing will be lower than that but we're still waiting on a few more things to finalize. That and please wait for the giveaway event announcement for details.What’s the projected price point in this?@ROAM
The base part of our JL stealth snorkel has a recess on the bottom to access the battery terminal so most if not all currently known dual battery kits should be compatible. Although if you are planning on running a dual battery kit the optional extended midship air/water separator assembly will no longer be compatible.Whats the chances it will fit with a Genesis dual battery kit?
Our JL Stealth Snorkel does not require drilling or cutting for installation. We'll include everything needed for installation including the cowl piece (pictured above in orange/peach).I’d almost consider this if it is truly plug and play.
Initial production will start with white and black and then we'll do primary colors. We'll also have a few here and there where the polyethylene hasn't been fully transitioned out of the mold from one color batch to another that will have more of a gradient/swirl effect in them. Painted versions will come after we catch up with preorders and everyone on the waiting list, but that applies to the cowl pieces only. This will probably have to be solved by a series of group buys. Not all exterior colors will be available especially earlier on.Will the cowl pieces come painted or add to the cost after the fact?
You can call it hubris but we're extremely confident that most of our stuff can not be knocked off by anyone. And while I understand that potentially there are those whom will try, what they'll find is that our innovation is not only core to everything we do, but there are quite a lot of features that are not reproducible without investing in either specific tooling or a really specific mold system. For example, we're quite confident that our air/water separator assembly and our CFD (computational fluid dynamics) development can't be replicated without going with either a one to one copy in which case then they'll need a pretty exotic multipiece sequenced mold, of which case in my opinion by the time they reverse engineer our mold process they might as well start from scratch, or their version just simply won't work right, given the space constraints. With our air/water separator assembly you can shove a garden hose straight into the intake and the air filter won't see a drop of water, but when submerged past the outlet the outlet itself is sealed against water ingress.Let's hope Roam remembers the great Mopar hood lock debacle of '18/19 and brings this to market sooner rather than later or we'll all be ordering copies on AliExpress
Made in the USA by choice and proud of it! Being US made is how we're able to do different colors and have different options on things. Be it snorkels that use different color polyethylene to stainless steel bumpers to our bike carriers that wouldn't be possible without the help of a few bike company development partners, none of these things would be possible without doing things the way we do things.100% USA made?
I am a huge fan of the functionality of the snorkel.
Thank you! When we've completed our current JL snorkel revision development and once durability testing is done, we'll probably field some of these through our advanced testing program. That and we'll have both group buys for these and at least one giveaway event so stay tuned for updates!@ROAM Looks really good.?
Did you monitor the air/fuel ratio during the dyno tests? The 3.6 could also be going lean at open loop & low RPM, which could explain the drop in power.After a few more rounds of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) development and factoring, we started over with a transitional or "variable" flow centric flow model instead. Apparently the venturi effect, helmholtz effect, and sizing the plenum correctly played a bigger role than previously theorized, and all influence transitional airflow, or in other words the "initial" momentum of air. So by making improvements to account for better "variable" flow and then eliminating low speed air tumble regions and air merge paths, we've eliminated a bunch of flow restrictions that are apparently only present during low airflow speeds which our superflow flow bench testing did not show because it measures at a constant setting.
