I'll match it with the Spoon air filter, that's what it's designed for maximum performance gains.

Where do you purchase the Spoon airfilter from and how much does it costs? Do you know what the diference is between the Spoon and K & N filter?

They say there is minimal HP gains if any, but there is less bogging during hot days and better throttle response. Face it, there are minimal gains with any intake. I like the fact that you can use your stock intake and improve your air flow with cold air.

Where are you purchasing your intake? MUZ is in production on a intake extension and can paint the intake the color of your car. He has made modification to allow intake to fit perfectly without rubbing on your hood.

Check our the GB. I paid around $325.00 with shipping.

my question is....why would you spend $325.00 shipped on the one from Muz, when you can get the one on ebay for $160.00 shipped - both are fiberglass. Hell if you wanted to be extravagant you could get the yellow CF one on ebay and still save yourself $85 on the Muz one. Can someone tell me why the Muz one is so expensive? Is it supposed to be better?

Low volume production, overseas shipment, taxes, there's your answer. Want the real thing, buy the Spoon version. Carbon kevlar constructed for weight savings and air intake improvement, all else is just a knockoff of the first and only design.

Muz says he has made modifications to the AUS intake extension to allow it to fit better. Also you can get them painted the color of your car. But to answer your question these were available before the ebay intakes. I also checked them out but I was already signed up with MUZ.

I big part of the cost is shipping as well.
