I've been watching videos on YouTube about how to make carbon fiber tubes where he'd used cast-type fiberglass to wrap a tube, then from there he'd bought a carbon fiber sock and wrapped the fiberglass...but he started out with metal tubing. I've been trying to think of some way to make and mold the piping using something that would bend and stay in place, kind of like dryer ducting, but then it's getting the shape to stay, somehow wrapping it to make a mold like he'd done in the video and going from there.

MSR makes intakes for the F10 M5 that connects to the stock plastic turbo inlets while Undercover Performance NJ replace the plastic inlet and feed directly into the turbo; both systems put the filter in front of the radiator just behind the kidneys.
