Whats up guys,
I just installed the RENNtech cf airbox that I got off another fellow MBworld member. The fit is perfect, it looks like renntech opened up the intake a good amount on the top and around the back. I cant understand how this thing cost so much money new tho. To all the naysayers I definetly felt an increase in power. Pulls alot stronger in the midrange then it did stock. I guess I have to wait for my drag strip to open up next month so I can compare my numbers to last time. Anyway heres some pics enjoy
(ps. My cf engine cover is on its way)

That thing is gorgeous. Nice pick up man

I'm with you though, I cannot imagine spending $3000 on an air box...

That's just baller.
