By the looks of it, the new composite intake is definitely making a difference, and I don't even have a duct hooked up the filter yet. I've made multiple pulls, and each one was around 12.5 to 12.8 AFR, no pinging observed. I still will seal up the duct a bit more for the radiator, so I'm not losing air anywhere, and add a proper hood vent, but I'm glad to that we are finally solving an issue.The carbon intake venture was not a cheap one. Between the 45 degree elbow and straight tube ($170), Mach1 plastic MAF ($100), new matching couplers and reducers ($80), this is far more expensive than any "cold air intake" for these cars, but it seems that all of them use metal, so I didn't have much choice really here. Sure I could have made it out of PVC pipe, but that's about the only way to make it cheaper.[ATTACH=full]21769[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
