Nice.. I'll play
This is the 4th CAI design i've personally made (out've silicone tubing & SS joiners w/C-clamps topped off w/header wrap & foam lampshade filters) my previous design ran thru rad support w/air filters in front of radiator but after running it for 1 month I had to remove them & place them butted up against factory air openings.
After the 09-up facelift headlights, it really opens up airflow holes to outside front grill to large amounts of cool outside air. Reason I changed other setup was the filters wouldn't stay in place almost completely seperating from air tubes due to restricted openings & space etc.
Here's what I came up with (The Speedriven IC's are soon to be custom painted by me)
I named this CAI "Dual Elephant Trunks" or DET/CAI

Thnx.. Though curious what type of CAI I will run when you guys send me my upgraded Turbo's? Any pix of what Marko's 65 or any other GT30 CAI kit looks like? I'm guessing just a large K&N clamped to the turbo further down stream inside fender well?
Lastly I sent Marcin a text if the GT30's were still decent wait I'd be more than willing to pay the $ difference for the GT35's you guys have spoken about I'd be happy to beta test them.. LMK if that is possible? If yes? I'm a go & can/will send more $ if /when needed thank you!
