Tell them you have a way of saving them huge amounts of money developing the intake .
Make them give you the money first , then tell them . DON'T even try
How many SS lnfs do you think are even produced ? with the amount of crappy vendors selling intakes that throw codes , ruin turbos, leak air , bad MAF placement skew the MAF sensors why would they? A very well known trusted intake systems supplier even want to tear into such a thing and ruin their good name ??
Bad merketing gurus or obviously they don't know how to do a google search ! This isn't exzactly just a carb they are dealing with . It's a very safisticated piece of machinery .
let us know if they actually contact you again about R&D this would be a new interesting intake to add to the mix of crap everyone else sells advertising 15HP GAINS more like 15 hp losses .. Testing an Intake for 5 minutes on a dyno and calling it good doesn't float my boat and most people here I think will tell you they better have some damn good statistical data that shows it being a worthy intake before most of us even consider buying it. IMHO
The whole intake thing just gets on my nerves man . nothing against you or K&N i gotta drop in right now .. someday I might see my CIA .. Maybe I will be replacing it with a K&N someday

I'm asking if anyone has ever let them use any of their vehicles for R&D not specifically the SS/TC.

I let K&N use my old 1998 240sx to make an intake with.(the dyno charts on the site are of my car) they gave me a rental Durango which was nice and all but they told me i would get a free intake for letting them use my car and i never got it. i also couldnt get a hold of the guy who helped me, to try and get it straightened out. i was rather pissed.

nope, no intake, all i got was a K&N filter keychain that was on my keys when i picked it up. they said they would mail me the intake and i never got it. the guy i was talking to over there never returned my phone calls or anything. it may just be a fluke but it sucked for me.
