Alpine ,
I also purchased tubi mufflers, added Kline headers, Kline 200 cell "X" pipe. Way too much money for any common sense investment, but they are awesome. When I go to a PCA event, folks always ask what the system is. Best thing, they are wife approved for sound. I just can't recall if she knows how much they cost .

Yeah I'm a F1 fan and prefer the Tubi sound signature over most others(previously had PSE, Fister, Schnell, Fabspeed for reference).

I like the fact that they come alive in higher rpm bands making regular cruising relatively quiet, hence wife approval on my end as well.

However, the extended length dual snorkels were very good quality, not too mention twice as much cold air coming in and being forced into the two cones. IMO, if you utilize a "Y" pipe intake you should get the most out of it.
BTW, your engine bay looks great!
Thanks for the information and the comment. I'll look into this, including some queries about the mounting tabs.

I've looked before and it only shows the pic of the piece itself and mentions needing modification hence asking if anyone has done it and has any one done this and has any pics of it fitted


unless there is a pic on there I've not seen?

Take a look at how far they extend down to force fit over filters.
good design IMO, but the intake I think from fabspeed has better design as far as fitment.
