humm it does look very good....I have fitted the K&N 57i and I did find the 2 airpipes you get with the kit that you feed from the lower grill to be a bit of a pain to put in plus a bit untidy as you see cable ties on the grey plastic

Without wanting to take the shine off it, but, those cone filters arent particularyl good on hot days as they draw alot hot hot air in from the engine and radiator-sapping power.
Best bet(if you havnt already) is to fit a ram air scoop on the front grille and feed it from there.

The induction kit will suck in a much larger volume of air regardless. The talk of taking in hot air is taken too seriously in some cases as the difference in temperature doesnt make a big difference in the effectiveness of the intake in many cases. Cold air is preferable, but with the stock air intake being so restrictive, its not as though you can make it any worse.
to right cant believe the standard air filter has been placed on top of the engine with all them 90 degree bends and pipe's. Can see how they restricted the power now. Think im going for the pipercross induction kit rather than a panel filter as can gain far more horses for little money
