What intake should I go with?
What about the material, carbon fiber or aluminum?
Please help me out!

Thanks!

The Eurosport intake is carbon fiber and works well with the Jim C chip

I love mine. Easy filter maintenance.

DINAN to expensive!! Unless you get it used.

I really like the look of CF but with the years it turns yellow.

I would go with a Carbonio CAI. Theres no need for a heat shield since your intake inlet is at the dirver side brake cooling duct area, and the cf is much lighter and has a better heat transfer rate than aluminum.

And if it turns yellow you can always paint it... the idea is to have a light and effective intake, the look of cf is just an eye candy bonus, its performance is what counts.

Thank you all for the info! :thumbup:

I have looked for the cheapest carbonio cold air intake and I found VividRacing.com store and it's $280.00, you guys know of any other cheaper website/store?
