Nice write up, only had mine on a day but had a good drive up to Liverpool this morning and got to say it's awesome
went for the all black stealth version and it looks mean!
After the trip up from London today I popped the bonnet and the foam and metal bit on the filter side was cold to touch so shows it's working.
Certainly knows his suff andy @ITG, :happy2:

.... :laugh: ^ - For a change I won't take this off-topic to debate what eye-candy is. For me this particular ITG is say 90%, mostly because the foam blocks reduce an otherwise high rating.
I see from the link that many of the Maxogen range use sealed filter boxes - Always a preferable option. [Some very pretty in carbonfibre too :evilgrin:].
During their development I discussed at some length with Andy@ITG about enclosing the foam filter but I guess they couldn't achieve a big enough filtration surface area in order to achieve worthwhile gains because of lack of space in the engine bay. ITG always said that they wouldn't release a product unless significant power gains could be realised by the addition of their intake.
I think that ITG were concerned about costs too. You haven't posted a price, Steve, but I know that normal recommended retail price puts it higher than most others, but then it appears to perform better than most, subject as always to the whole raft of mods which an individual car sports.
