Re-reading through the 10 pages I found Q & A's on whether there would be a benefit on routing a hose from the fang area to the filter. And where does the air come from if the compartment of the air filter (Injen CAI filter placement) is completely sealed from outside environment.

I wanted to hilight some of the points of interest to save future readers from having to read all 10 pages.

Hope this helps!
It did for me!

Cheers
Curtis

I think the filter has easy access to cool air where it is right now, so I'm not sure if there would be any material benefit to routing the fang vents.
As far as pricing... PM the vendors. They can't publicly post the special pricing due to agreements with the manufacturers.

BTW, my apologies for the dirty pipes. I will clean them up tomorrow and get a pic of them clean and shiny. I'm really glad I opted for polished over powdercoated black.

I took the front fascia off to replace the horns and those lateral areas seem very isolated from good airflow. This just puts the intake filters in their own isolated little pockets once the fascia is back on. I'd be surprised if the gains for the Ingen come anywhere close to the Stillen GenIII.

If it's really a concern, you could always remove the "dividers" and completely open that area up, but then I'd worry about getting the filters wet in rain driving. Your best bet would probably be to cut holes in the dividers and use Steve's (Modshack) technique to divert some more air into that area.
