I like how they wrap all the way around and are located right behind the kidneys. Not sure how I would feel if I drove the car in the rain a whole lot though as your filters would obviously get wet and you don't want wet filters.
They look good though and if you had them highly polished and clear powder coated they would look pretty sick sitting in the engine bay. I have the Gruppe M intake on my car right now and if I didn't have this I would probably try these out. I doubt I am going to get much gain using these vs. the Gruppe though so I will save my pennies and stick with what I have.
@joetrinityautosport - Are you saying you will see 22-40hp gains on the dyno from installing these. C'mon... That sounds a bit outlandish to me.
