I recently got my 05 V and wanted the same thing. I started producing a kit for our cars, they're $125.00 shipped if you're interested. I've sold a ton on the Facebook group but just recently joined the forums (my name is Danny Allegrezza if you are on the groups).

It includes:
3.5" Carbon Fiber Pipe
4" to 3.5" 90* Reducer
3.5" to 3.5" hump hose (to connect to MAF)

This is meant to connect to the stock MAF and then the stock air box, or whatever air box/filter you attach to your MAF. It clears the radiator bolt as well.

If you're interested, PM me!

The rings are to protect the CF tube from collapsing while you tighten the clamp. Had to replace a couple of tubes for they were over tighten by grease monkeys

Thanks for the explanation. I'll look into those rings. I will say the quality of my CF pipes is pretty solid, and I haven't heard of anyone cracking them from over tightening the clamps down, but you never know!

Also, is there anyone interested in a 4" pipe? I made 5 4" pipes that are the same 9" in length. I mainly made them for testing purposes to see if anyone running a crazy N/A setup would need one.

Here is a photo of the 3.5" pipe(kit) vs the 4". If anyone is interested in either, just shoot me a PM.


(4" is on the bottom)
