Has anyone come across these?

Somehow, I came across them tonight and did some research just out of interest. Why would you? I mean, an extra how many metres of pipe work, and at what cost?

Has anyone seen/heard about/ come across these before? Why would you? Pro's and cons?

To me, it seems like a re-creation of the wheel which makes no logical sense.

Best advantage I can see is ease of installation...no custom manifolds or anything like that required, it works off the exhaust.

Luca,

I remember reading about this in a Chevy mag. Me personally would love the idea.. the graphs do prove that there wont be too much lag to get airflow.. i guess at speed its sucking & pushing air at a very fast rate!

Anywho, Go to the link below and click the Actual Installation Manual for a good read.. the cost is like 4k USD... Bargain!!

I dont like the idea of the air filter being exposed under the car like that. One puddle and you may suffer hydraulic lock.
