12Kw claimed improvement and it costs $500.00? My opinion it's a waste of money. Just keep it standard and keep the air cleaner clean. The comments about restricted size etc, work it out yourself calculate cross sectional area of inlet tube over radiatoe and then the pipe to the throttle, how could making the inlet bigger than the outlet do anything and the air going over the radiator goes over so fast it won't get hot. If you want a cooler charge insulate the plenum chamber from the inlet manifold with one of those insulating spacers available they are cheaper and will probably provide a better increase in performance per $ spent.

luckily my cold air intake was already on my car when i bought it =P but up against my mates vy s-pack manual with a stock air intake there is hardly any difference.. my opinion save up abit get some high ratio rockers for about 600-800

I've got one for my car. I've noticed an improvement in fuel consumption, but as for power, I haven't got a dyno to test it on, nor could I really care how much power my car puts out, as long as it gets me to and from work.
