so stupid.
those hoses are there for a reson, that would take away sooo much hp. it would suck in all the very hot air, and not to mention, K'N makes air filters for our cars, so it just looks lame.

Instant negative HP.

Reduced HP thanks to hot air and those K&N filters are well known for destroying MAF meters.

K&N's only destroy the MAF sensor when they are re-oiled with excess oil. This has been batted back and forth on this forum.

Too bad they don't make one the V12...I could expect what? 50 hp gains?

RennTech makes one, but theirs costs about $1500.

Where can you put one in? The 600 engine compartment is tight.
