Default Air intake kit?

Does anybody know or use this "ultimate air intake kit" from Mid America Motorworks? It's the dual cone filter model. Just wondering how they like it, I like performance and looks at the same time and this looks like a good deal. Any comments I will greatly appreciate....bob.
Gohard, or don't go at all!

I have the RM racing twin flow intake with cone shaped K&N filters (just about identical to what you are talking about.

I like the way they look, but to get the full advantage of the system you need to put in either the cold air screens or cut out all the black plastic where the fog light go and put ZO6 screens in.

It will also allow more cool air under the hood to cool the engine compartment.

I've don't both the ZO6 screen (and cutting out the plastic) and the cold air grills the ZO6 screens was the easiest of the two, plus I like the look of the screens.

I have the dual cones and cut out around the fog lights. Car runs a few degrees coooler and definitely made a difference in the flow to the filters.
