New fabspeed air intake, looks killer !
Found on the fabspeed website, maybe some didn't seen yet, sorry if it's a repost.
Hope to see some numbers ,I think it looks nasty, love it !
It would look even better with some bmc double cone filters

According to the latest Modified L&E article...
"In addition to sounding superb, the (Fabspeed) air intake unit managed to create an additional 28.9hp and 25.1 ft-lbs of torque."
Not too bad imo.

If the intake were such a limitation on power I would expect to the stock filters being literally sucked into the compressors

Just the messenger here. The article (in case you haven't seen it) bolts on the Fabspeed exhaust system, headers, and intake and dynos the car. In the article it says....
"the intake unit managed to create an additional 28.9hp.......the headers add 14 horses......the Maxflo exhaust added an additional 25.2hp for an overall increase of 68.1hp!"
So, is the entire article full of crap, or just the part about the intake? I can't understand why they would make false claims, maybe someone can enlighten me.
Once again, just quoting the magazine, don't shoot the messenger

The exhaust was tested by me. That part is true. The sheets are posted on this site. As far as the intake I am waiting for one to test and give some real world numbers. I will post them as they are recorded. We will know soon.
