These hack's blatently ripped off RPI's scoops. This really is the most embarrassing company ever. First the "hot air intake" and now just stealing someone else's design. 
Who buys this shit?

My Ride: 545 modded the F out
Did RPI have a patent on the scoop? Hope so. LAW SUIT?
I coulda sworn there was someone here selling a replica scoop a while back tho so who knows. That's an awful shame tho, but I guess I can't blame a company for following suit with those who are doing well.

I think it's specially designed to force pebbles and glass shards directly into your motor for better "performance"

hoses are for the intake manifold extensions and the box has all the bolts and crap... probably 
I don't guys, regardless of past fiascoes, I'm always ready to give people a chance if they can prove that they've made a quality product. So there's no need to dis aFe, until RPi actually proves that this mod causes power loss as well
