This is a true full carbon system which is why the cost is so high. We have them in stock at a great price!

Before everyone freaks, keep in mind that K&N's "retail" price on a standard SS Intake is $499, and the street price vendors actually sell it for is $240-255.

$799???? They can keep it!
Not to mention that picture of it installed looks like it doesn't have the best fit possible. Just another reason I am glad I went with roto-fab! |

I'm curious why they don't offer a non carbon fiber CAI.. JUst seems to make since to offer one.. Product looks nice though, and the numbers look even better.

Roto-fabs is $15 per horsepower. |

One of the difficult challenges of a CAI is to keep that hot air out of the CAI. The design...needs much to be desired ...just say'N |

Is this system drawing in some hot air on the edge near the driver's fenderwell as it leaves a small gap open?

The carbon fiber is nice but I personally do not think it is worth the premium over the roto-fab. Also concerned about the small gap but K&N does produce some quality stuff.
