Seems I remember K&N making a system like this back in the day for the Pre's. Haven't seen anything like it lately.

K&N makes (or made) a similar CAI for the 4Th. Gen. Camaro & Firebird V-8 Cars. I didn't like it then because not only did it require 2 Oiled filters, but it placed both of them within the engine compartment. In short it didn't produce any significant improvement in flow over OEM.

That would only be practical if there were two throttle bodies. People with no sense of taste will buy it, that's a fact.

I used to work with a guy that wired an inverter to an electric leaf blower on his v6 camaro. From the leaf blower to the throttle body was drier vent hose. To make this even better, he cut out a larger hole in the front bumper where the fog lights go so he could mount a cone air filter there.

WOW! People are dumb!
