Couple questions for you, M7:
1) Is the filter foam, oiled fiber, or dry fiber?
2) What material is the unit built out of? Fiberglass? Plastic?
3) How much does the unit weigh in comparison to the stock box?
4) Will it work with the stock scoop, or will it require purchase of your ram scoop?
5) Do you have a ballpark on price ($200-300, $300-400, $400+)?
Thanks a lot. Unit looks great!

That looks pretty sweet. But I can't help wondering what that is gonna do to under bonnet temps. The early R56s had the hood scoop totally blocked, and they were getting SUPER hot. So they put holes in the hood scoop grille on later R56s to help bring the temps down a bit.
If you now turn the hood scoop into a ram air setup, none of that air coming in the scoop can be used to cool the engine compartment. That doesn't seem like such a great idea.

2.) Fiberglass/CF (optional)
3.) Slightly more but not by much
4.) Works very well with the stock scoop but even better with the optional
Ram or Extreme scoop.
5.) > $450

Yes it does get hot under the intake no doubt, but we do have an answer
and a solution to those issues to.
The possitive side of the "it's so hotit must be bad" is that the air entering in to the intake is ambient not
50ºF above, and believe me it makes a world of a difference performance wise.
As for the question about the blow-of valve noise....Sorry it's almost as quiet as stock.

Is there a possibility of having a sound clip of the intake installed and engine running and revving (or quick video)?
The blow off sound is ok if it is a little louder than stock (you can barely hear it with the stock box now) instead of sounding like a bus. Subtle rather than annoying IMO.
