Lightbulb Top Fuel Intake
I stumbled across this... thought I would post it up for you guys.. looks interesting .... and the price seems to be cheaper than other Japanese Intake makers...

Wonder why they make it turn back on itself towards the back of the engine bay! Isn't the back of the engine bay a lot warmer than the front...not much fresh air back there!

It's because of the scoop on the hood. it rams air to the back.

I forgot about that...I wonder how loud that intake is? I'd still buy local and get the PRM.

Looks nice, but I'd rather have a CAI.

YEAH! It looks like Top Fuel retained their famous "tunnel chamber" or whatever they call it in the design. I noticed most of the aftermarket intakes that are out now have the same box type chamber system.
