Default Has anyone installed Blitz/Lems advance air cleaner???

Hey guys I was researching intakes for the F and came across the Blitz/Lems advance air cleaner. It looks great but at $1300 is pretty steep.

The replacement filter for this costs about $300, so that means that the intake tube that it come with is worth $1000???

Has anyone installed this system or even considered getting the replacement filter and installing it with another intake tube

lol i wish it was $15 .!! I'd jump on that quick.

The system just looks like a cold air system... i personally don't think it's worth $1300us. BUT buy just the filter and install it on a another intake tube like the takeda, then u can save half the cost with an extra filter leftover.

The Tube should be worth around $140 bucks.... But if it's made of titanium, it becomes worth $1,000

yeah the one in the vid is titanium and it costs $680. the one that comes in the kit is aluminum i think and it uses a part of your stock air system. So the cost with the titanium tube is nearly $2000.

My question is, does the titanium help to maintain lower air temps due to the tube being cooler? Secondly, what are the dyno numbers for this thing? It better be putting up some big ones for that kind of price.
