My experience with the Cold Air Inductions Carbon Elite intake wasn't very positive.

One corner of the intake box sat up too high and rubbed on the inside of the hood when it closed. During attempts to get the box to sit correctly, several pegs on the underside of the box that fit in the grommets on the engine bay frame broke off. The pegs are only held in place by the carbon fiber coating surrounding the box.

The first time this happened I sent the box back to Cold Air Inductions and they glued the pegs back on. Trying to seat the repaired box the pegs broke off again. The third time I tried to glue the pegs back on only to have them break off again.

Frustrated, I contacted Summit Racing and they allowed me to return the intake a full refund.

Just be careful when you seat the box in the grommets. The pegs are easy to break off. For an intake costing that much, the pegs should be secured to the box with screws or something stronger than the carbon fiber coating in my opinion.
