Look at all the air that guy is getting because of his missing teeth!! 
Now, that could be homemade, but I know it's all natural.

I don't think the duct is going to hold up. It looks rather flimsy?

Believe or not!!! After I drove the car around for a test and went to Highway. The RPM kicks from 1500 to 6700 much faster than without the scoop when I went from 80 km/h to 160 km/h in D mode. I know we need a proof...
By the way, I think AFE + HOMEMADE SCOOP work good together.

That's good to hear miguex. I'd be curious to see a before and after Dyno test result.

i would be very careful, last i heard Eloy w/RPI has a patent pending on the scoop. not quite sure how it pertains to your model. I'm no lawyer, but just giving you a heads up.
