Notably absent are any published test results. More bling than bang. Looks like a great way to suck water directly into the engine.

There have been tests done before on other vehicles, there is a very, very slight ram air effect on intakes like this, but it's not until well above "Do not pass go. Go directly to jail" speeds. And even then we are talking tenths of a %.

Looks great, love it. Totally unnecessary, but some people just want to buy really nice parts for the car they love. I'd rather have stuff like this on the market than the alternative.

GruppeM Ram Air System Intake
All you need is some blue painters tape and a forth graders level of fiberglass skills. It’s been done.
