Well after driving to work today and back. My review is that the cold air intake is worth it (w/ the sacrifice). The car felt so much better and stronger.

I'd figure that the airflow would suck due to all the groves in the makeshift piping?

I see yalls point and I thought about that before I bought it. But would it make a huge difference since it still has to go through the blower and all the piping and then into the plenum? Unless you mean its turbulant for the blower, but its still alot better then what I had beforem. A dirty filter that sat infront of the motor and sucked up all the hot air.

looks good daniel, any outside air (no matter on the tubing) is better than the hot engine air. .

Looks good man. I'm not looking forward to the same project myself, but I'm going to route my filter to in front of the bumper like the turbonetics kit.
