Just got it today. Big thanks to Toykilla for having these made. At first i thought it was a bit too short towards the MAF (about a 1/2 inch) but it tightened right up. No leaks detected either. This thing is thick and very well made. Big thumbs up.

yeah, when you sent the tracking # to me it said it was already delivered at 1130. i opened the front door and there it was. fedex guy didn't even knock or ring the bell.

as for the make of the tube, it looks like very durable (and thick) fiberglass with a CF wrap. The CF actually looks like it is integrated into the tube itself so i could be mistaken (could not see any edges of the CF layer)

i'd hate to see a stainless/aluminum pipe wraped in CF. i'm all about the function before form.

the tube is fiberglass and carbon, no metal in it

The carbon tubes shipped this week, so be on the look out. I emailed the tracking numbers to the address you used to order.

That looks great Steve. I can't wait for the polished tubes.

So how much are these? Did the sound of the intake change? Is carbon fiber better for throwing heat than the stock plastic?
