heres my set up and im over the moon with it. It performs as good as the itg but is no way near as loud and doesnt drone...Also it would be very easy to pipe the filter into the front bumper for even better gains

For ultimate bling there is the GruppeM intake. Combine that with an Evoms intake section and you have a glorious looking piece of kit. Not cheap though!! :surprised:

Correct me if Im wrong but isnt that just going to suck in warm air from the engine bay in that current location?

....Fairly minimal if it does. The filter itself has a certain amount of boxing around it and the pipe reflective gold tape wrapped to help reduce temperatures.

the filter is over the hole into the front bumper so open fog grills really help....my set only sucks the same amount of hot air as the itg which compared to the cold air it gets is minimum.....i found the itg and this perform very well indeed :happy2:

Where did you get the gold reflective tape from, I've been thinking of wrapping my dbilas intake in it as that gets quite hot, can't seem to find it anywhere??

....Make sure you get the HEAT reflective tape specifically for automotive use. It's not cheap but works much better.. So buyer beware of ebay!

If I can find the source later (I was given mine) I'll post more info.
