Some of you have been asking for pictures of the intake, so I have attached a picture of the early prototype from january 2006, a rendered image of the intake and a picture of one of the production pieces. You can read more about the intake here:

There is also some additional pictures in that thread. The allen head bolts in those pictures have been replaced with button head allen bolts that are shorter and clear the M7 Strut brace.
Take Care,
Dave

I think the HDI has the edge
In short, I agree with SpiderX' post 100%.

Alta air intake install
Tried for several months to get a HDI from Webb. Had to cancel order due to complete disregard by Webb for my business. Will never do business with them again. Ordered the Alta intake with the new box top and intake hose. It was delivered promptly. Compared to the HDI, the Alta unit is not well designed and difficult to fit. Their entire system needs to be redesigned. If I did not already have it, I would definitely get the HDI, especially since there is someone handling them other than Webb. Furthermore, the intake tube, has a small tube off the side which is in the wrong position, and after considerable time and effort, could not be installed. It will be returned to Alta.
One persons personal experience: get the HDI. Do not get the Alta intake tube until it is redesigned.
If anyone disagrees, please feel free to do so.
