i was looking for pictures on the net of a yellow mp3 and i came across this... racing beat said on their website they had a CAI or Short Ram in the prototype in their car and a guy in the canadian press drove one and got a pic of the intake... its almost in the same place as the AEM intake... i also noticed the strut bar is shaped diferently.. maybe that design worked better but it probably cost too much to manufacture them shaped like that...

Yeah, they have a similar pic on the Racing Beat website, just not as large. They explain why they decided not to use the intake, which doesn't make much sense to me. Here's the link
