We (Rick's) talked with them a few months back. They said they would get back to us. But today, nothing. I think the price they wanted to get vers the price it was worth to the consumers differed. We offered to help them get it to market, and we would cover the costs of the molds. But there was a consern over copyrights (their's). So we never heard back from them.
I really wonder if you can patten a plastic pipe? You can see the Spoon did not bother. I mean the market is too small.

Yeah I think the cost of the patent may have killed this. Would be neat to see if it actually made any difference on a dyno. If it did then people would be more willing to fork out their cash for some thing they know that works.
All you need is two S2000s one stock and one with 'the mod', both with attached OBD tools and read the intake temperatures to compare under exactly the same circumstances.
I did a very simple (and perhaps too unreliable) comparison between different kinds of intakes and found almost no difference. This led me to the conclusion that the heat bog is not about the temperature of the air sucked into the intake system, but the heat absorption of (any) intake box from the engine room and transferral of this heat to the slow moving air already inside the intake box.
Anyway, that is my theory
and only a proper comparison test can tell what will really happen. 
Alas,
