dyno hopefully tommarow or friday, but i'll talk more to him about an exhaust, we just talk briefly about it didn't get into details, first intake once that's done then i can discuss other projects.

looked like a failed prototype, the OEM grill is preventing the air to be redirected to the driver side intake therefore no gains, so the next idea is trying to go through the bumper grills on the bottom, but that's another week worth of work and i need my car for the seibon meet this saturday...

intake scoops failed for now.

they didn't have trouble with the passenger side it's just the driver side is so cramped and restrictive, he suggested a piping like they use for F1 brake ducts to ram air to the driver side intake from the bumper vents. But we'll see if he wants to pursue that idea after seeing how difficult the G is...
