Do you have any idea how much it could cost, ball park wise? BTW It looks sweet, carbon would be the way to go!

Not.
Your Carbon Fiber Engine Bay is absolutely gorgeous man! Since you now have aesthetics, and an Intake, im sure that's next on your list - right?
Guess I'm a** backwards then. You crack me up with all your whining about hate.

LMAO. The Dyno sheet shown is with BOTH the Intake and Borla Exhaust, NOT just a K&N Intake on a stock RCF.

Glad to see real power gains from this intake! It’s cool to see companies taking risks making products for such a small market! People will always have negative things to say, envy is a part of everyday life but don’t let their opinions change your decisions! Buy whatever you want for whatever reason you feel is right!!

No affiliation with the manufacturer, I'm just a test subject and not trying to sell you guys anything.
We all know how popular the Borla exhaust for these cars and dyno proves gain through out the entire linear curve. If you look at torque curve and where it peaks, you will notice it's very close to where to stock intake baffle opens up (RPM range). Only reason in my opinion for this peak in torque is the restrictive stock intake box.
I'm working on getting the dyno from the initial pull when the car was stock. But really anyone who is looking for any performance advantage is not going to stick to a stock exhaust anyways.
The real kicker and don't understand is why people buy exhaust systems with baffles! You remove a restrictive stock exhaust and replaced it with another restrictive exhaust! Really!! If you want to tone it down, ECO or NORMAL drive mode will take it down for you.

HATE, NO Hate here Scooter! By your signature it looks like you live in California & so I understand! BUT, Snowflakes in June, WOW! I've NEVER heard of increasing Torque or HP by adding a Smooth Tube intake NEVER, care to explain HOW it would increase Torque?

I should have my Sikky intake tube in tomorrow....after reading numerous threads and info on the design of our stock Air Box, I just rather change out the restrictive intake tube.

Sikky
If you guys want some insight on Sikky installation and what to keep / remove, NJSteve just did his recently.
I believe he posted it with photos as well.
