    Hi Goth; so are you going to market these intakes like you did the resonators.

    I opened my intakes today to check on the air filters condition, my air filters look like new and I haven't changed them in 2 years or more, that's not a good sign, in my opinion they are very restricted. I think that Ferrari missed on the most fundamental issue when it comes to engine cooling with the cold air intakes they designed on 355's.

    It looks like you have addressed this issue very well. How is your car running now after you installation of your own intakes?

    That means you have not driven it much and/or you don't drive in a very dusty/dirty environment. Rest assured these engines suck in tons of air. Not saying they can't suck more just saying air filters that look like new are not a bad sign (unless they are a REALLY free flowing, non-restrictive design that lets everything get past them instead of clogging up the filter material :)

    You can't get 375/380 hp from a poorly breathing N/A 3.5L motor.

    How about a group buy for a good discount? With this economy even a Diamond man is looking for discounts

    Sounds like a possibility for the unveiling of the new 'twin bypass 355 2.7 exhaust system' I've been working on for the past few months .......... :)

    Goth,

    please for the love of god and your MAF, use an oil free filter, and not an oiled one like most K&N are.

    I believe K&N makes an oil free, but if they dont you may look at something like the AEM "dryflow" filter. I have used this filter in other cars and feel it is the best filter I've used.
