Dont waste your money, it wont help in any way unless you go bt. And even a custom intake will be better but still isnt worth it.

You can get the same gain (which is essentially nothing) from any other intake out there. On these cars the benefit of a cotton-gauze filter is the fact that you don't have to keep buying air filters throughout the car's life. If carbon fiber is that vital to you, then get it. But with what you save over buying an eBay intake, or doing the airbox mod here on the site, you can fill your gas tank almost four times (at $4/gallon).

If you want carbon fiber look, check this out http://www.eurosporttuning.ca/Mercha...Code=A-A4B5-en Its what I run in my car, and I am very pleased with it. Its alot cheaper then the Carbonio too.
