$350 for a glorified intake is rape. Just get a $40 K&N and build a heat shield.

If I ever get off my fat arse, I am going to pick up a piece of galvinized (you can get it at Home Despot) and make one.

i don't think you should weld galvinized, something about poisonous gases, but maybe i'm wrong...

oh yeah, and i had one, and it's not all it's cracked up to be in terms of cost and when you get it saying to yourself, "self, i could have made something similar to this for much less money!" i also have no pictures, as i sold it almost as soon as i bought it, finding inexpensive replacement filters is hell...
