flexible intake ...... ???

I was just looking around and came across this

I thought it was pretty cool but I kept looking around couldn't find any reviews of it, what do you guys think?

junk. air going in is just as important as air going out. Picture your exhaust looking like that. What do you think that would do to your exhaust flow?

True didn't look at it like that. Sounds pretty terrible now that you pointed that out

That thing probably works as bad as it looks. Truly wonder if it'll actually work with a supercharger.

Better off buying pvc pipe, elbows, and a couple connectors. Should be a few DIY's for custom intakes floating around.

OR you could buy my Injen CAI for $125(OBO). It is $200 something originally and mine was only used for about 2 months.(if that) Got pics of it if anyone is interested.
