Question Feeler: Any Interest in a Carbon Fiber Airbox Intake

I have access to a few of these units. I just wanted to put a feeler out to see the interest on this Intake System.

Question out of curiosity - is it possible for an intake to be designed to use the stock tube? Ignoring the VFAD even, just a replacement of the intake box?

I don't like short rams, which this intake appears to be (an the Simota as well), but I have no reason to go to a CAI since the stock works plenty well. The only reason I'd change the intake box is for looks.

If this would mate up with a bumper insert to make it a true ram-style intake that would be very cool.

As an SRI though I would have to pass.
