I thought about keeping my CF box and doing that, but I was worried about the heat. Any IAT data? I assume there are no flat filters in there?
Definitely a gorgeous unit and fair price. I'd just want function. Is there no option for the goose neck (plastic OEM parts at the TB)?

there are no flat filters at all....
when i get my car back i will take a pic of it underneath, it is a 3" pipe, mandrel bent, with a steel plate welded on the top to mimic the factory appearance..... apparently it mimics it too well...lol

Nice looking kit but the air filters have to be shrouded from engine heat and recieving outside ambient air ONLY (IMO). I can only envision power loss with filters pulling in hot engine air. Under our sealed MB hoods it is brutally hot !

4 wheeled car.
you guys are rich. It's expensive to me. I'd like to see the final version and see if we can get one cheaper w/o the CF, or one that we can adapt to our stuff already for say, $500 at the most

also, when you dyno'd, where the heat shields in place? ...was the hood open or closed?
