You obviously haven't heard much talk from Carbonio owners. Most of them say that it does nothing for their performance whatsoever except change the sound. As for your proven HP gains... Show me the proof!!!! honestly if 400 dollars can get me 20 more HP and better fuels economy I'll buy it. Ifnot, GARBAGE!!!!!!!
So I'm reading your link I see no solid numbers... How much HP gain can I expect? How much of a gain in Torque can I expect? Furthermore the site mentions:
"Carbon fiber has a low thermal conductivity"
Low Thermal Conductivity means that it insulates better meaning more hot air enters the cylinders which we all know is worse for the engine. than a cooler airflow. Dude it's all fluff in my opinion and if you beleive it then good on ya but I'd rather chip it, get better injectors, install a CB exhaust and a performance clutch and I'll bet any money I'd smoke any stock car with their "CARBONIO" intake. Actually, that's not fair. I'll just get it chipped for 450 and beat any stock car with their "CARBONIO" intake anyday!
Cost vs benefits my friend. How much did you pay for this POS vs. how much did you get out of it?
It is pretty though
