the fipk II is a good intake too....about producing more power, i unno...it would have to be dynoed...but they seem very similar in design where they block out alot of heat...

I don't see it being better than a CAI, placed to close to exhaust manifold and, as we all know, heat rises.

it seems that air from outside the car goes into the carbon fiber part, which i guess is covering the filter, through the upper grille..
i think air can't pass thru that cover part to the back cuz its end is sealed to the pipe..
when u go fast, so much air will go into the grille so that much of air will go into that cover part, then isnt there any problem, even minor, with this cuz of air resistance against the sealed wall of that part? i think at least it makes noisy..
how do u think about this?........

what it means by "not quite as loud"??
is it kinda quite? or loud?
u noticed a top end gain..what about low end?
since i dont drive over 4k, top end doesnt really make me happy
