Alright I'll suggest to them monitoring the air temp and doing 4 to 5 runs. I have a complete stock system, no K&N filters.

If it doesn't seal to the bumper like OEM, it's not going to work much better than any other SRI... If it's open, it will draw in underhood heat -- period. They can minimize it with clever placement, but hotter air will still tend to get drawn in.

All they need is a plastic flange and two short lines of flexible high tempt ducting (similar to modhsack's fang vent set up). THe flange just needs to clip into the bumper ducts. How hard would it be to make that?

Just sayin...

They should pick up a set of K&N's for you to do the test. If it can't outperform the cheapest option in town, why bother?

I guess they could do a comparison with a set of Gen 3's if someone can lend it to you, but dropping in the panel filters will be much easier.

If they can show it does better than the high flow panel filters, they'll have one-upped every other company selling an intake for this car -- a great selling point!

Who cares if it outflows a paper element at this stage in the game?

Again, just sayin...

this is key...i hope they look at this and make a connecting piece
