I think you mean Function over Form, since:

All kidding aside, this intake doesn't seem like it had much (if any) R&D behind it. Its obviously going to suffer from heat soak, the giant whale penis is essentially a giant bottle neck (larger area = low velocity); it does nothing to "pressurize" air or anything of that nature.
I bet it makes power like the J's intake. On the dyno you can't see any gains so they tell you it makes gains at highway speeds instead to cover up for a highly overpriced intake that gains nothing aside from some good looking bling
got pepto bismol?

IMO dyno numbers for this intake will be misleading.
On a dyno this will probably make some power, but in actual driving it will definitely suffer from some serious heat soak!
To the OP, please tell password that they would be wise to reconsider their design. They may want to consult the S2000 community to get some ideas.
