teflon_don nice setup I like the duct looks clean and aggresive!

But anyway back to the topic, I got the intake today, ripping the old stuff out and putting the intake in took about an hour. All the parts fit fine and I had no difficulty with it. my AFM fits on the adapter, came with hoses and clamps needed for it also, as well as another vaccum line, k&n filter is legit too, and the bracket from the stock intake bolts up to the pipe. The setup is about the same as Injen though.
I'll get pics up tommorow.

^^will hydrolock occur, or because the pipes are so freaking long that you don't worry about it?

Another great thing about this piping is it never loses its radius. You can turn and twist any way you want and it remains 4inch/3inch etc.

He can always build a box for the K&N & make it into a BFI hybrid. That what I've been working on in my SC. Although I did have the K&N filter and the rest of the intake parts just lying around, making my total cost nothing.
