CARBONIO INTAKE: VERDICT

[TECHNAUT]

SPECS FOR CARBONIO INTAKE B6 S4: ADD WEIGHT TO YOUR VEHICLE WITH HEAVY IRON "BAFFLES" THAT REALLY DON'T BAFFLE S***! (CARBON FIBER COVER IS ONLY ASTHETIC AND KIT IS STILL HEAVIER VS. STOCK AIRBOX) INCLUDED CONE FILTER DECREASES HORSEPOWER AND CREATES UNDESIRABLE ENGINE NOISE! ......FORTUNATELY I BOUGHT A USED KIT OFF EBAY. I AM ONLY GOING TO USE THE CARBON FIBER COVER WITH MY STOCK AIRBOX AND THROW THE REST OUT. THE KIT IS REALLY A JOKE AND BORDERLINES BEING A SCAM. A PORTED STOCK AIRBOX WITH K&N FILTER IS WAY BETTER AND WAAAAY CHEAPER. JUST WANT TO SHED SOME LIGHT FOR ANY PROSPECTIVE BUYERS... THE TOPPER FOR ME IS THAT I STILL SPENT $200 AND THE SHYSTER EBAY SELLER PUTS THE PIC OF THE INTAKE RIGHT AFTER HE INSTALLED IT. WHAT I GOT WAS AN OLD CRUSTY INTAKE KIT WITH STICKERS ALL OVER THE DULL CARBON FIBER. I HAVE SOME WORK TO DO ON IT. STILL WAITING FOR HIM TO LEAVE HIS FEEDBACK SO I CAN GIVE HIM NEGATIVE.

UGH im sorry, i need to reply to my own post because i just read the CARBONIO description and was thoroughly disgusted when it claims it "represents the pinnacle of induction design." Clearly the pinnacle is no higher than putting a cone filter onto your MAF sensor and slapping some carbon fiber over it.
