I double-checked just to be sure... the search feature still works on this site.
Most questions can be answered with it. Advanced Search is most useful to narrow down results.

You could also buy the Racing Beat ram air duct and 'gut' you stock intake to create an intake very similar to the revi intake at a fraction of the cost.

I bought a Revi intake..just the intake and ran it into the stock box (dewalled) with a drop in k&n.I also took out one screen and left in the closest to the MAF.I will say it greatly increased the responsiveness of the car.Cant say how much hp but the car runs MUCH cooler with all that air being force fed......especially at speed.Baby is much happier now.The Revi was very worth the 130 i paid and put it on in 2hrs by myself.2007 blk/blk gt

I think you meant to say 'racing beat duct' and ran it into the 'stock intake' that is 'gutted'.

Which is pretty much what I suggested to the tee
