just because its ugly and other people think the same, doesnt mean its ineffective.
now, how much air does get in there, is beyond my knowledge. and of course, it would be very bad if used in off-road applications. however, street use would be ok because unless a squirrel finds its way into that thing, the tube aint gonna clog and the filter will block everything else it's supposed to. until it gets dirty, of course, but we all know filters do that sort of thing.

Dryers and a trucks intake are totally different. All that tubing is un neccessary, and slows the air with all those bends. Granted he'll be getting cooler air, but even in street applications he's gonna suck up stuff and possibly destroy his air filter (cough rocks cough), if not than seriously restrict it with all the dead bugs he sucked up!Who the hell wants to clean an air filter every week and warch bugs and road grime fall out

A friend of mine owns a service station. A few months ago a kid had a rice burner towed in, it wouldn't run or start. The kid placed an intake tube like that one, but lower on his car. It was about two inches off the ground. He went through a puddle of water, and you guessed it, the intake sucked the water into the engine. The engine was wasted. Filter are made for dirt, not fluids. That mod could cost you thousands!!
