Wondering if anyone knows what type of intake this is. The guy selling it doesn't seem to know. All he knows is that the filters are k&n. He's asking 230$. Worth the price?

Worth it if you really like the carbon fiber. Can't see it being any better then all the other intakes out there. Aluminum double filter setup is similar to Mid-America Motorworks intake system.

For a few bucks more you could get a Vararam - a true CAI.

Yeah I mainly wanted it for the carbon fiber. But I know vararam is highly sought after and people have seen horsepower gains. So maybe it's worth it just to spend the extra money on one that will for sure do its job

The CF part is just the air bridge. You can get one of those for a Vararam if that's what you like.

Its a $50.00 duel cone air filter with a C/F air bridge. Way overpriced but if looks are what you are shooting for...go for it. Its your money.
