cl65 performance intake

was board today and was looking for performance intakes online and saw the VRP scorpion intake for around $600 and i was thinking that it would be easy to make a intake setup my self, i ordered 2 knn cone style filters and a couple nice 2.5 inch manderal bent tubes, estimate build cost under $200 dollars... i will post some pictures of the build soon, any idea you guys might have about this intake build?

I would compare the surface area of the cone filters against the flat panels, just to be sure. Also, anything you can do to heat shield them should help.

i just recieved my knn air filters. i love how fast summit racing ships your items.. i also spoke to a carbon fiber company and they pretty much told me to jig the intake and bring him the sample so he can make them out of carbon... i think this might be a really nice cold air setup, or it might cost to much and ill scrap the project but we will see what happen in the next few days

this might be the first realy true cold air set up for the cl65

Second. Maybe third. You're not the first with this idea.
