Must be flow bench tuned and all..being that its made from "lying around" parts. Can only be so much of a trade secret. Or maybe you made a one off 40HP CAI. Who knows. All jokes aside....does it look like crap but is functional? Or does it look good, but you really do feel like its your little secret? LOL

It's actually very functional, I'll get some pics up when I get a chance. I was at the track this weekend, and alot of people were asking how I built it, they could see how it works. It was made with parts that I had around the house, and a couple of duct pieces from other cars. That's the fun part with cars, building stuff out of nothing, and getting it to work.
I couldn't see spending the $300 on them Intakes, so I made my own..
