True, but it just doesn't seem very Cosworthian, ie. over-engineered. These intakes max out the MAF Sensor at about 350whp on the WRX/STI and 450whp on the EVO-X. You don't need a $15k Cosworth long block to make 350whp, that's for sure. What intakes would they recommend for cars that actually need their other hi-$$$$ parts?

The Cosworth pricing is close to the K&N pricing, maybe $20 more.
