-why? you wanna use the CF fabric on the "tubing"? hahahaha
Dude, I doubt it'd cost much more than $50 bucks to get those guys at Shea to just weld a nice metal tube for you. Take it home, paint it with the heat-resistand matte black (I used 1200 degree resistant paint on my exhaust tips - it would work ), and you have yourself a GREAT looking mod, as opposed to a really nice one But its ok, John - I only criticize when I really like something

Even if you get a g-tec box, you don't have a baseline run without that intake set-up.....perhaps a baseline run before and after scoops?

If you can't get dyno or g-tec, just watch the RPM idling between 1500 to 4500 in 3rd gear and see how fast it does (faster better). it is free to test but I admit it is hard to catch or also with a OBD-2 tester will help to see how is the air flow measures (higher flow better).
