A mate of mine builds various engines, from NA 4A-GEs' to high powered turbo SR20s' and he uses these things all the time as he is a big advocate of cold air induction and keeping intake and underhood temps to a minimum in general.
I'm sure he and his customers have tried every intake system under the sun, so there must be a reason why he sticks by these.

The theory seems sound, but then again, every other CAI and Ram-pod manufacturer has claimed \"dyno-proven\" power increases.
But its hard to swallow the claims about it \"providing a true supercharging effect\"

If you can afford these things, then go for it 8) It's one of the coolest-looking intakes I have seen.

Have you seen a cut-away view of the CDA box? Unique. I reckon a clear-perspex version would be cool.

Actually you can do it

Here's mine. Even thought its not BMC CDA, I use the Simota/ Drift CDA. Its very similar except BMC filter is inverted inside the carbon fibre tube. Simota is using clonical filter.

BMC CDA cost over $400!!!. I made the piping myself using Spectre Performance parts, you can get this in Autobarn. You can't see it from this pic, but the flexible piping goes to the hole behind the headlight. I guess you can do it like 'Mania' style but there's plenty of heat from the extractor.

BTW Im selling my other CAI, have a look...you can set it up the same way.

You can get much the same thing from JNT Performance for $200

You'd probably need to add a filter to that price though
