This is probably one of my favourite projects on the forum as the CF is all homebrew moulds. Can't wait to see this in action.

those things are going to suck better than a turbo charged hoover,
the air box look epic, good job. Just think of all that lovly cold air being pushed through the gap straight into your jenvys
Are you running unfiltered? or will your at least put a pre screen on?
