Many of us have not purchased one, well, because we know better. It has, however been proven to suck, not literally. People have used them on dyno tests, and they have proven useless to other simple name brand intakes and such. In conclusion, All it does, is take up more engine bay room than necessary and make your car look like it's halfway turbo'd to the untrained eye. /

I mean it is a brilliant concept, if it wasnt for the fact of ppl ragging on it for saying its a wannabe FMIC then I think it would be accepted.

On some models, the plexiglass has small slits to allow air to move through. Others use a sheet of plexi raised about a quarter inch from the front of the intake.
