The earlier version looked like the mouth of the mask from the film "Scream" :D

Sooo... essentially, this is a ~$200 plastic tube thingy that attaches to the front of the stock intake... is it worth that much? More importantly, does it work?

I'm probably wrong but don't see much extraordinary about it... does this design allow some special, smooth airflow? Or can anyone take some tubing and direct air from the front opening to the stock airbox and get the same result?

I don't really think that Racing Beat's new ram air add on will be much different from this. This appears to be made from fiberglass.

It works by reducing the intake temperature. Butt dyno is not acturate so we don't talk about it.

This new version only work with the RS front spoiler from Odula. If you put it with the stock front then you have to cut a few holes on the grill :o

The old odula intake does not need to cut anything as it sits perfectly with the opening already there in the stock grill.

Here is my link of the review

Here is Wildcard's 30 dollar mod which will get similar result

Here is some data logging from sCANalyser
This is stock (before install). Temp difference is from 6-14 degree Celsius


This is after install. Temp diffence is 1-5 degree Celsius.
