Default B5 Carbon Fiber Air Box

I was wondering if you guys knew of any shops / online stores that carry a carbon fiber air box shroud for a B5 Series S4. I came across a company a couple of months ago that manufactured one, but now I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

I just found what I was looking for. Wondering if any of you have heard about this product.
Any good? Performance gains? Quality?

So far the feeling tends to be that it is not worth it until your stage 3, plus it also seems you just suck in a lot of hot air which does you no good. Anyone want to confirm that.

Agreed, but on a stage 3/3+ you can get a tune specific for it and it works pretty good. IIRC theres rubber molding on it thats supposed to make a decent seal to keep hot air out. Combine it with a hood like this that has a scoop right over where the intake would be, and a vent to help remove hot air and your ballin. Paint the y pipe and get RS4 carbon fiber engine covers and your engine bay is sexxxy.

Save your money and just cut a couple of holes down at the bottom of the air box for now... Like they said before when your get to stage 3 then start looking for a new intake.
