Now, as far as the M7 CF system goes, I'm wondering just how the CF intake pipe will work. CF is VERY ridged and it's being placed in an area that moves a LOT. I think I saw a photo of it where a flexible rubber hose was used to connect it to the Throttle body. Not sure that it's enough give with this small section of flexibility ...?

It certainly does look great I will say, I mean who doesn't love the look of CF.

Alta seems to have it together at this point in time for the best sealed off cold air intake box.
I believe they are using the same type of plastic that the stock system uses... doesn't conduct heat .... from the pictures that I have seen there is NOTHING OUT THERE LIKE IT......so I will refrain from giving away their secrets.....
