has any one tried these vents from out motoring and/or do you guys think they would even help if you have a cai?
http://outmotoring.com/benfer_mini_c...nt_scoops.html

And does any one have these or the oscari vents install taht can take a few pics. I am interested in them but if it is going to mess up the lines of my car... id rather not.

Check this out.

I swiped this link from another thread.

https://www.northamericanmotoring.com...d.php?p=525183

The difference is that the scoop in the photo had a "ram air" tube that directly fed the air filter- I think they used to sell it as part of their carbon fiber intake (a very pricey unit at @ $600). By the way, I tried BenFer's web site yesterday, and got the message that the site was closed for non-payment. Yikes!

Those ones from Out Motoring are really nice. I hadn't seen them before.

But, of course, I'd only want one for the driver's side.

I'd buy it in a minute if I could buy just one. . .

yeah i totally would buy them however the comments people made about having snow and ice make it all the way through to the throttle body make me not want one.

oh well it was a good thought.

thanks for the linkage btw.

Check my gallery pic's because I'm not smart enough to do it any other way. Those are BFP cowl vents.

You could try posting an ad in the market place. You could say somthing like

"I'm about to buy a set of cowl vents from out motoring. I only want the drivers, so does someone want the other?"

Somthing like that.
