are you an idiot? scooping water into it lol.... debris? thats why there is a filter idiot I've put 5k miles in rain and snow not one single issue.and blocking the radiator? it blocks maybe a surface area of 4 inches and I've checked the coolant temp after and no adverse effects only an idiot would think that!

Yes lol...a side-by-side of each of your two intake scoops would be nice. Considering your asking price, is a pic too much to ask?

Every Honda owner think that because they cut off their muffler and the car makes more noise that it MUST be faster...that's your logic without proof.

Unreal, the guy comes out with this mod, produces it himself puts in the effort to post it so that you guys have something to look at when you got nothing better to do other than sit at home staring at your monitor and all you do is leave a bunch of negative comments and demand pictures and proof of performance gains??? Makes me wonder why we even have forums like this, so people can get hated on for their efforts?

Uh, yeah...at $600 +/-, damn right we want proof of power vs this guys butt dyno and desire to make money with zero proof of gains lol. If you've got money to burn, I've got electronic fans that go into your intakes so you can say you're quad boosted...only costs $300 per fan, hand twisted the wires myself. You interested in buying my theory without ANY proof whatsoever either?

More air into the airbox from the deflection of the air into the opening rather than the turbo just sucking air into the airbox..


Are you still making these?
