2nd snorkel will be great on the track and street, it wont show additional dyno results though. This concept which Dixie has already proved MONTHS back is great!

Whether it was a change in the power delivery or increased power, I am not sure, but I liked the V-Flow a lot for the way it changed the car. I purchased one of the first V-Flows produced with the oiled filter and never blew an MAF in over 30,000 very spirited miles with track days included AND the original oiled filter in place. I have since gone to the Protomotive 700 intake, but would not hesitate to use the V-Flow again. I think it's a great product vs. the OEM intake.
+1 exactly what john said

Yes as you increase power your intake is more vital as your turbo's require much more air flow to perform. The Protomotive concept is very cool. Todd should make a "kit".

2nd snorkel cant help maf failure issues as air flow problems occur because of the "waffle" in front of the MAF keeping air laminar. It could help in directing more air on street or track to keep more air coming in instead of just the right box.

Just and FYI for those interested in ours. The carbon boxes are coming shortly at a rate of 3 per week. We will have a full PR soon. We will also have some heavily discounted blems from the first articles too.

The aluminum boxes are being made right now and will have the 2nd opening like you see Dixie made on his. The snorkel and mounting plate will be sold seperately.

Thanks.
