Talking Custom air intake is on (pics)

Finally..
Thank u VIPCLK...
it ran from the throttle till the fender.
You can def feel the power and the throttle is immediate with a tap on the gas
it was a ***** to install and took me 2 hours but it was worth it

i used my previous carbon fiber filter since it got the shield and i like that so no heat from engine gets in it whatsoever

not worried about the heat.. like i said i blocked it by using my carbon fiber shield around the filter and the only air that gets to it is from the front bumper/fender... 2mmrow i will take a better pic for u and show u what i mean.
