The following are some pics of when I installed my Carbonio Intake. The install was fairly simple, didn't take me more than an hour. This kit is expensive, but on the ride home, I could notice the difference. When I hit the gas, the response time to the engine is almost instant, not sluggish like before. I can also hear the air being sucked in, while inside the car. It's a very faint noise, but it can be heard if you are listening for it. I had my friend rev it up while I stood next to the engine bay, and it just sounds amazing. You can really hear the difference in air flow.
daaammnnnn that looks good....i'm puttin one in when summer hits...these pics are makin me real ancy now
And i second that for follow up post to let us kno how it goes
wow i thought it was a box, not just a heat sheild.
Nope, it completly get's rid of the stock air box... It works very much so like the K&N cone filters, how it is open to the engine bay. There are pre-cut holes in the provided heatshield, for the MAF re-installation. Here is a picture of the old airbox, I don't know what to do with it... The filter inside it was pretty dirty...
