Roddimus Prime is on a distinguished road

i can't believe no'one has pointed the obvious here......the picture he's showing is an INTERCOOLER, not an intake. If you want one of those feaux-intercooler intakes you could buy one for a honda and just modify it to fit.

hahaha, I've seen so many people think that the stupid intake thing is an intercooler I thought we had it backwards here as well.

Either way, there is no way in hell that little notch is going to bring enough good cold air to make a power difference in the car.

i have something in the works...still in rnd...don't have time to work on it...when i find time, i'll let you guys know.

on a side note...DGMotorsports makes a true ram-air hood...the hood and intake are around 1K...it is carbon fiber, so i guess it's worth it.

I thought manufacturers designed in the resonators on OEM intakes to eliminate the intake noise you hear with SRIs and CAIs...??

i.e: the injen CAI for the Mazda 6, 2.3L
