Default Cold Air Induction

Not sure if there is really an increase in HP but it looks better than the stock air cleaner.

Now the slick move would be to cut a hole in the radiator shourd under those filters and fab a cap over them so that they pull in high pressure cool air from in front of the fan.

There isn't anything cold air about that unless you've made it take air from somewhere besides the engine bay.

He's using the SLP CLAW system, not a true cold air induction.

Thanks. Yeah, I know it's not a cold air as it needs to get the cold air in front of the radiator. I have a custom one myself. I was interested in the piece between the TB and the claw part, for a possible custom fab for another car.
Thanks!

SCORP 508 is correct. They look great but they have the same sq. in. as a
K & N filter. Also there is no cold air in the engine compartment. But they do
look great.
