pretty rare on US models. you have to trim it to fit with the a/c lines is why not alot of people run it other than it being pricey:

here's what it looks like installed

Thats a great looking setup but I bet I can fabricate my own with just some buy-able metal piping and a filter and have it look as good.

I just look at the designs of these setups and wonder how does that increase performance. I can see the FIPK making hp but this, cmon I could make the same frigging thing our of tubing and it should perform nearly the same.

You could make that intake so easily with some sheet metal and some tubing.

I really don't understand all these high dollar intakes. What a waste of money.

WTF is up with the design? It goes all the way down, just to come back up like a SRI?

I guess their just trying to make a short ram as long as possible. Since people say the longer the pipes, the more power and throttle response you will get. Dont know how true that is, but all that metal looks like it gets hot as hell.

I honestly think they made the design that way because it looks really different and a bunch of JDM cock riders would have no problem spending 10000000 dollars on it lol. No offense...

Whether this is funtional or not idk...But for the prices some of these intakes go they better easily make 25-30whp. I saw one intake that was 3k. Is that for real?

the piping looks like it dips down and back up to get cooled by air coming through the bumper.....Too bad its behind a radiator and fans hahahaha
