Any one have anything to say about this product?

 

waste of money, make your own, buy a 3in exhaust pipe from a muffler shop with some random bends in it and get creative with a ban saw and a universal k&n cone filter and some ceramic heat paint.

 

uhh bottlecap do you know what the x1 is? Its an open element with a carbon fiber airbox, its actually VERY nice. Not really like the AWE s-flow and ABT big bore which is just what you explained above

the X1 is the only intake i would spend money on.

For anything up to stage 2+ id just use the stock airbox with darintake, but if your going stage 3 this is a nice little piece, expecially if your getting a tune specifically for an open element intake. I want to get one, but obviously its not first on my list, still its a very nice intake.

 

its crap lol. no i know what it is and its great and all but im all about diy and making my own heat shields. im no pro but i get really creative..this is the one i made for my last car...fully functional and looked pro yet i paid 10bucks for paint and supplies and the rest i had lying around my garage.

 

what did you use ? sheet metal? and vac hose? what i like about the X-1 is it seems to direct more air using the stock routing vents.

 

sheet metal i found lying on the side of the garage. bent it using a hammer and 2x4 cleaned it up, prime and painted with ceramic engine paint and then used common weather foam stripping on the edges to seal it with the hood. i also used the factory cold air tube. you can see it on the top picture. its the s shaped piece of plastic right infront of the filter. i tested it with a thermometer and it kept a 30 degree difference for almost an hour before it finally heated up to much where it was equal temps

 

Anything VAST is a good way to go. But im with SourDieselS4 great piece but not a necessary for the car.

 

I have it and love the look of the carbon fiber heat shield with my carbon fiber engine covers

 

is it pop rivited into place?

 

no i used the same weather stripping to seal the cracks where the bends came together..
