Carbon Fiber airbox

Ive been running a CAI and hate it. So ive decided to go back to stock, or semi stock at least.

Anyone know of any carbon fiber airboxes out there?

Preferably one that has a larger than stock opening because Ive junked the silencer already and want to run a larger duct through the firewall and into the snorkel.

I found a carbon fiber snorkel, and was thinking it would be nice to attach it to a carbon fiber air box. Preferably one that has a larger than stock opening because Ive junked the silencer already and want to run a larger duct through the firewall and into the snorkel.

If not i guess ill just get the dremel out and hack up my stock airbox so it has a larger opening.

thanks in advance for any help

ARC, but I dunno if it's C/F or not. Good luck on getting one, they're rare and expensive.

Another place that I've seen this is this place...

Look towards the bottom. I don't know how good it is, though. I just saw it there once and remembered about it.

I don't think that ARC's super induction box is CF...

There are lots of companies that just sell CF engine dress up panels.

Eh brah, CAI's are a real pain on our cars. CEL's up the yin-yang and questionable power gains
