LOL 1200 for an intake, especially on an NA car.

They make one for my car too, and I can't see the benefits of spending 950 more on an intake to get another hp or two.

I know right? It gets tedious seeing the same inane questions, so why not throw something crazy out there. You have to admit though, its a very nice design and its a quite aesthetically pleasing piece under the hood.

They look INCREDIBLE!

I would love to have one, but they're either very well engineered or just overpriced and I can't spend that much money on it. If I had an Evo or an M3 or something, and it guaranteed me 20-30 whp, yea, maybe i'd spend the money on it, but on a Honda or MINI no way!

Pic of M3 Gruppe-M intake for all those lazy bums out there:

Yea that's the problem, a lot of the solutions hack up the stock pieces to accomodate the sensors. But I know an intake manufacturer that messed up the stock MAF sensor on the 07+ MINIs and now they have their engines periodically going into limp mode because the sensor goes ape ****.

I guess it's a trade off for reliability, and it sucks that manufacturers aren't offering factory upgrades (like Mazdaspeed has a short ram for hte Mazdaspeed3) that work with the sensors.

Be glad that they dont because the MazdaSpeed intake has been thought to cause problems and has since been takin off the shelves by Mazda. That Intake does look bad *** though, I like the ones where they have a part to suck air from outside the car, soo bad ***!

I always wanted to get a SRI and cut a big hole above it to

is that intake really big enough for the large air flow you need at high rpms? in any case, it does look sweet.
