Default Anyone done the Umnitza Carbon Fiber Intake??

I don't think I'm up to pulling bumpers and the like to put in a long intake.
I like the looks of the Umnitza CAI. If you've installed one, or seen one after the install I would love to hear your impressions. TIA.

Most people love it, but not the price.

By mid week next week, we hope to give you an update, in the meantime, if you purchase the intake, you get 50% off the price of an angel eyes kit

I had a few customers looking to purchase, but I got no response from the manufacturer when these were first released. Oh well. Loose, loose situation for all involved.

I want to get this system for my supercharged tC, as its the only one compatible with it so far. I know that Outcrnru has this on his supercharged tC as well, but he also has other supporting mods. I want to know how well this system will do with the TRD blower. Yeah, I've seen the video. It sounds great I must say. But I WILL NOT drop that much loot for just sounds. I'm all about FUNCTION AND FORM. It looks nice, it sounds nice, but does it perform? They also need to work on the price tag. I guess the dynos will tell.
Anyone care to venture a guess as to how it would work in conjunction with the TRD blower? Would I see more gains on a supercharged tC than a N/A tC?
