No reason to spend more money for an intake that's just going on a y7. For that matter, there's not really reason to spend money on any aftermarket intake...
Actualy you are all wrong carbon fiber does not hold heat there for it does not raise your intake temps like a aluminum one.It will make a diff but i would not spend money on one for a d16 no point
Theres a few sellers selling a ton of these intakes on Ebay. I just pick one up for $20 + shipping brand new (shipping was only $25) and it was definately worth it. I don't know about power increase, but it sounds amazing and looks even better. At WOT it has a deep growl.
i've had one....it was by far my favorite sounding/looking intake.....as for power no intake really adds any unless there are other parts and a good tune to go along with it
i bought the CF intake from mishimoto, it looks really nice. sound is really good, but like everyone said intake wont make a big HP difference unless yu got more tuning or like a big throttle body or intake manifold to go with it. i paid under $190(with shipping) but i live in hawaii so shipping kills me!!!
