PRM fits your criteria as well but is more in the Comptech price range. I think they have it available on marketplace or used to anyway. Next time you're around we can take a ride if you like so you can hear what it sounds like.

I have Ztech's cooling plate up front, rail cap to cover the exposed bar after removing the OEM box, and his heat shield. You can PM Nick (Ztech) to see what your options are there.

There's also a hose that is run from the faux passenger side brake duct up to the engine bay that directs "cold" air to the PRM BUT it does not feed directly into the PRM. This was a mod done by a former Jax s2ker but now out west. For the most part it's just pool vac hose wrapped with heat safe tape. I plan on doing a better job of hiding that part but just haven't taken time out to play with it.

doesn't the lid open lose hp?
Not sure really, but it defenately sounds cool

I can't see how it would though....there is no increase in airflow restriction with the lid off, and the difference in incoming air temperature is minimal, at best...especially on an autocross circuit that's less than a minute long....

Yeah I think that the power loss comes into play if you're driving in stop and go traffic with the lid off. Thats where the hot air ingestion happens. Short runs on the track shouldn't see much on the negative side.
