It looks like a cheap intake fabrication. Wont work well at all as there is no plenum and the filter is in a poor place for a cold air feed.

Probaly makes less power than stock :-/

oh dear god no :wall: :wall: :wall:

Dat has 2be d worse set up ever

Itbs have flow rates and tolerences that are measured down 2 da last 1/100mm. and even look the diameter piping is about half the size of standard intake

And the least of his worries are the filter is taking a pile of hot air anyway

The only thing good about that is that the work looks to be neat but thats it. As stated earlier the first major problem is that the "plenum" (don't know if u can call it that) diameter is too small and next the number 4 cylinder will be starved of air.

Next thing i notice is i dn't see the IAT sensor. It's probably just lying arounnd in the engine bay recording all that nice hot temperature. This intake SUPER FAILS.
