Default Carbonio Carbon intake system Just arrived

hey guys despite hearing all sorts of things on this intake any where from a super investment to a total waste i bought it anyways. i figure i can be the $360 test rat. well i just got a package from fedex and i must say i am very impressed by the workmanship of this intake. its more like an air box style CAI rather than the Evos open filter. The carbon fibre is definatly top grade quality and the looks beautiful. Carbonio promise anywhere from a minmum of 8hp all the way to 15hp. With my new digi camera i got for christmas i will be happy to take some pictures tomorrow when i install it and write a small review on it for anyone who is intrested. so stay tuned.!

Chirs

alright guys all finished up and took it for a test drive. i was very impressed at the gains. wheelspin from first through mid second.(that sucks) when i finally caught the car revved up like a beauty.
so i made a little rubric. 1being the lowest and 10 the highest

Performace 8.7
Worksmenship 10
Fitment 9
Directions 7
Sound 8 ....... can barely hear it until turbo spools.
Design 10.....the filiter actually sit inside the carbon box. and the is a tube that is routed all the way under the lights.
overall rating id give it a 8.5-9

click the little "image" button when you create a post. It will put two little image tags in brackets. Place the URL of the image in between the tags. voila!
