Hey Chris,
You are probably right, the carbon fiber tubuing is probably replaced...BTW my intake is a used one...LARRY, the owner, only charged me 120 (if I remembered correctly) for installation and everything...that is a really good price I think...I was originally thinking bout getting the GRUPPE M airfilter(the crazy looking one), but I heard that you have to take of the back engine cover to avoid rattling , and also the air filter alone won't give you that much HP anywaz.....so it really dosen't matter what intake you get...if you want me to look for a intake for you, tell me....I willl call up LArry to check if he has any intakes aviable with good pricing....where you live anywaz, chris?
