carbon fiber intake tube?

I remember seeing one on an L and it's something I want, no matter what the cost. Anyone know who made it?

Thanks,

EDIT: found them at Razor's Edge and ordered one. Woot!

Yea, I was interested in that as well but had a couple of questions like "did they sell the c/f tube separate w/o the filter" and " where is the maf in the picture"??
I emailed them twice but never got a response so figured that they weren't too interested in selling one.

On their site it says it is just the tube, and for 89.00 you can add a powerstack filter and mounting stuff. I already have my PSP fast air but just wanted something a little nicer than the stock boot.

Make sure the tube is the right diameter for your MAF. The MAF senses the air flow into the engine and the diameter change makes the MAF lose calibration. Yes, you might be able to have it retuned. I had one and could not make it work properly. Also, the air cleaner on the one I had was mounted right on the end of the carbon tube. Not a good design with the length of the tube. Any movement of the engine is magnified a lot at the air cleaner. Looked good, but was more trouble than it was worth.

Interesting, so you went MAFless

I'll call REM this morning and make sure it's a 90mm. Thx for the heads up!

i think the maf electronics mount on the rem tube. you do away with the maf housing.
