    Besides this 348 has anyone ever seen or used this product and if so does it actually increase by 10-20hp

    I must admit it looks cool and comes in different colors.

    By the way the 348 that the intake is on is on sale for $47k on e-bay it's been customized a bit including momo power seats color matched door panels and steering wheel.

    Would not be surprised if it reduced HP. This mod sucks in hot air instead of cold air like it originally was designed to do. Save your money, oh and it looks ugly too!

    +1. Moreover, the use of polyurethane filter elements suck (pardon the pun). This material clogs extremely quickly, is highly restrictive to proper air flow, and is almost impossible to clean properly for re-use. Most cheap after-market air filters utilize this type of element material.

    Actually this design is evolutionary and is merely incomplete. They need to add some airboxes surrounding the filter elements and connected to the air inlet tubing. I think i know someone looking at just this design, but I am sworn to secrecy. ;)
