Check out this shroud...

We were throwing the idea around here of fabricating a radiator cooling shroud with a dual purpose. This is what we came up with! Even though they take a while to hand build, this is a perfect addition to anyone still using the stock air box. The shroud's scoop directs more air flow into the stock air box and at higher speeds, a "throatier" sound is observed.
Road Track tested up to 156mph as well!
Would anyone be interested in these ?

Once installed, it's very stealthy and not easily noticed from the front.

There are no mods required to install. I have considered milling away the piece of plastic that attaches in the middle of the scoop though.

Wow thats cool... hit us up with a price, that would lost likely still have a performace advantage with most any other intakes too, becuase no matter what there is more air being directed towards that part of the engine.

I would not remove the part in the middle of the scoop it will collapse on itself and suck flat. It is there to prevent this from happening. A friend of mine had a problem with it and it caused a big drop in boost pressure.
But besides that I like it. If I did not already have the carbon fiber one I would buy yours.
Good luck I am sure you will sell them like hotcakes!

Great idea, I think you could sell a lot of those. Get'em out there before everyone starts copying it, it'll happen faster than you would believe.
