i dont think its as great as the gruppeM tho, n its made in taiwan too.... but at a quarter of the price for a real carbon composite stuff i aint complaining...

at least more choices for DC5 owners.... n they also have loads of other weird looking induction kits for hondas

Hmm, I'm a bit confused as to where the air is taken from in the Simota..

..I've never seen GruppeM IRL, but from what I read, GruppeM's party trick is it's ability to take air directly from outside the hood in the smallest possible distance? Response + CAI effect IIRC?
