Place racing makes them, and you can get them through cattman. Go to the links section and look towards the bottom of the menu. $220+ shipping, and you have to cut a hole in your fenderwell. Hope this helps.

it was the FMIS(front mount intake system). the site used to be www.maxxfmis.com i ordered one of those intakes back in september for $335 and i never got it. they charged my credit card and then disappeared off the face of the planet. the website isn't there anymore, their phone numbers have been disconnected, i dunno what happen - i guess they went out of business. all i know is they took my $335 and ran off with it. b*tches.

The rights to sell the intake were bought by Arospeed. www.arospeed.com, and right now the intakes are being sold on groupbuycenter for like $250 I think.

Front mount intake.....Seems to me like it would be more restrictive. The air has to travel all the way from the front of the car through all that tubing. CAI is good enough IMO/

You charged it to credit card, why didnt you dispute it? Ive done that, and won, and got to keep the hardware. (That should teach Frys [pos store] to not let me return playstation memory, claiming its opened SOFTWARE..)

You coulda got your money back.. i think its too late now tho
