Air Intake Box
I found this on one of the blog. It looks like its air intake box that is made out of carbon fiber. I think that its made to get more air in and for the looks it looks great!
Does anybody know who makes this? Carbonio?

I think more air is only needed if you've done some serious exhaust work to increase the flow, via either long tubes or cat deletes. You would then need a tune to take advantage of it.

A) airbox+filter
or
B) airbox only
I mean if the airbox can gain 18HP damn that is a very impress gain if you ask me.

noooooooooo sry man im looking for that front piece not the airboxes and to answer you question its the filters that make the power not the airbox. the airbox is slightly wider inside but if you have the "ROW" airboxes and not US you fine with just the filters.

I am curious as to how it attaches to the stock boxes. The engine has to move(up and down) and thats why the stock inlet tubes have the accordian style so the engine can move around without cracking or damaging the intake tubes. Wonder how this intake set up allows the engine to move independently of the stiff carbon fiber intake?

Good point, Keith. Also, did Carbonio change the design of the box tops now? The ones from the link look smoother where they transition into the Y-pipe.
Hiro, please keep us posted. I would like more info on this inlet scoop tray. Gruppe M?

Got info on the product.
Its made by Gruppe M with this shop. For a couple of month they will only sale in Japan they said.
Power Gain: 18hp
Price: 248,000 yen (around $2,696)
Its expensive for this much gain but it sure looks good! Japan is always expensive so when it goes to US maybe it will become cheaper.
