Upgraded cold air intake system?
Hey fam, i saw this cold air intake offered by Blackboost. Is this worth the money, anyone running it? Wonder if it's better then ROW boxes?

Hard pass. This may be worth while for a supercharged car, but even in N/A form with high flow filters the airboxes aren't really much of a restriction. I'd pursue something custom for that price.

definitely nonsense. When I was screwing around with mine on a dyno I did stock to kn I think I picked up 4-5 ho if I remember right then I took the filter and left the top of the box off and ran again just to see what restriction remained and added another 3... so not seeing how on a na stock 63 you are picking up 20whp. Maybe on a supercharged and high boost application I could see it potentially
