Yeah but that would you know, make sense. I was pleasantly surprised by it myself. But yeah the intake itself is pretty novel in design, its a rather large polymer rectangle-y tube ending with a velocity/accelerator cone and massive dry filter, and it does definitely change the engine note. The stock the car to me has kind of a raspy throaty growl under acceleration while with the R2C its a much deeper purr.
This isn't my car in the vid but it give you a good idea of how it sounds in person,
