Here's some fun I was having on a lake the other day...I was driving my winter beater.
A few time when I was spinning at about 40mph I thought for sure I was gonna flip my SUV.

Damn I missed the snownanagians again :./
K i need a non biased opinion on which turbo inlet to get....
Or
Cobb has a slow tapper off, the cpe one is pretty significant tapper at the end near the turbo... I would think from fluid dynamics you would want a funnel like, slow tapper for a smoother air flow but then maybe more air is available for the turbo?....but what do you guys think?

Maybe its jut the angle of the pictures or me, but the CPD seems to have a harder bend in it then the Cobb..
Depending on the price, I'd get the Cobb. I don't think either design is going to have a noticeable difference in performance where you need to be super concerned about it.

The Cobb is like 175? i think and the cpe is 199. Not to worried on their price difference, but the cpe one has a mounting thing on the top while the cobb doesnt but who knows if that metal mount will tear the silicone ? hmmm yeah I got the cobb sri so I may get the cobb turbo inlet as it is slightly cheaper but also doenst have that dramatic tapper off at the end....
which companies is better :P

I actually see where he's coming from. I really never liked all black rims but I do like those. I'll just put on tire shine a lot and it will look awesome. Maybe I'll break down and paint or powdercoat the outside lip red.

Hey hoffa, any idea on a date for the CED meet yet? ...Id really to know really soon so that I can get that friday + weekend off of work before its too late.
It would be nice to get a date so that we can get a list started on who plans on attending and to make sure others have advance notice to get the time off too...details can be released about other stuff as the weeks go on but we really need a date if you know what Im sayin

No I never planned on selling the thing, I was considering parting it out and having a dedicated track car. But priorities come first, and if I keep the car how it is with a few cheaper mods I can track it all I want for cheaper.
