It runs great! No codes and sounds healthy! Didn't take it out as I don't have it secured yet so I will have more info once I have it installed for good!

Nice man very rarely do you find people who like to make there own parts like your intake. I'm the opposite I don't have the patience to do it. I will just wait until they release one for our cars haha.

Haha thanks for the comments! Hopefully one will come out soon!

A better view of the entire intake.

I have a question Zack. Do you think water from rain will affect this system whatsoever, since the filter is right by the grille? Is there any chance of hydrolocking?

That was a concern when I was deciding on where to put the filter. If you actually can see where the filter is it is right below the headlight. The filter should be protected on all sides from water because of the headlight, horn assembly, lower air diffuser, and wheel well splash shield. The only issue would be if water was about a foot high. At that point I would have other things to worry about.

Ok guys I need some help. I am going to be finishing up the main intake tube this week and need to decide what type of finish I want. I will be doing some type of design on the intake (something like an arrow showing airflow direction or similar). I need you guys to vote one what you think would look good!

Option 1: The "design" as we will refer to it for the time being will be polished stainless while the majority of the intake will be sandblasted.

Option 2: The design will be sandblasted while the majority of the intake will be polished.

Option 1 will be by far the easiest as it will hide the majority of the scratches on the intake from the mandrel bending process. Option 2 will take more work but I am leaning towards it.

So what do you guys think I should do?

That was my original plan but after seeing the bare stainless in the car I actually liked the contrast it gave... I might still end up going with this option as it would be the easiest and fastest to do.
