Thanks to Bruce at TTM for hooking me up with these. Super great guy who makes me wish I lived back in NYC again!
Install is pretty easy if you can turn a wrench and drill 2 small holes.
I really think this mod is a must have as our cars stuggle so much for air. Any help they can get is a plus. Obviously I don't feel anything down low but up at higher speeds, I have to be getting some benefit from that focusing of the high air flow. Feels great to me! No worries on water or snow as I just went through a massive snow storm (see my 650+hp in the Snow post for pics) and not a single problem.
Thanks again to Bruce! Nice simple clean mod!
I will let him answer questions from here on cost, install, shipping etc.
**OH, I was driving up to take pics and noticed I had an intercooler hose going bad on me. It got the engine bay and upper hood pad dirty so I hosed it down quick and shot the pics. Sorry for dirty engine bay. Feel bad next to you California guys. You can EAT off your cars man!

Looks sweet! you can tell by the design that that these will help direct air flow and make some top end power.
Air scoops like these are really going to shine out on the road where the air flow and pressure are high. On a dyno even with big fans is no were near the same air flow/volume that you see at 60+ mph.

Awesome Jim! I currently have a set on my car and love the way it looks. As Nick was saying, this is a mod that won't show a difference on a dyno.
Nice job Bruce, you better start mass producing these bad boys!
