Kinda cool looking but I don't think that having twin tubes is going increase air flow. The only real problem I see is that the filters are not in any kind of box to keep out the hot under hood air. I had a single tube CAI with no filter box for a while and I lost 20 hp because of sucking all that hot air under the hood. The throttle response off the line was terrible but once you're moving the performance was a little better because the air is moving. It was called Jet Flow and claimed to increase power up to 15 extra hp. Never happened.

BTW: Nice rig!

If you listen to Troyer there is no worry about engine heat while on the move, there is enough air cycling throught the engine bay to cool the charge to ambient air temp.

Very true, but cruising around town at stoplights, that heat really affected my open element... I upgraded to a volant, and i could cruise all night around town and never get the effects of hot air.

Agreed, driving down the highway is no problem. But if you're driving light to light and sitting for 3-5 minutes at each one, you're going to suck alot of hot air and lose hp if the filter is not in a box. After all, they are called CAI "Cold air intake" for a reason.
