Sounds interesting, as long as it won't leak....... so the pipe & the box would cost around???

Now is time for some design or photoshop pics eheheheh

shue, that was a quick calculation that includes approx prices off:

CF airbox ~$200
K&N pod filter ~$115
intake pipe and other pipes going to the airbox ~$ 100

happy days =D

prob need to add another $50 for all the extra bits and pieces like clamps, rubber sleeves etc.

but its not too expensive and its an awsome result!

EDIT: ooer, i forgot the other $70 for the mini pod for the breather

make it a rough max of $600 :?

i'm sure you could squeeze it down to $500 easily enough!

and it would be as good a setup as anyone will have (other than some of those crazy racing people ;p )

and you really dont need an apexi, K&N are very good filters!

So you basically you contacted the same guy which mikey had a while back.

I guess the price would be the same then.
