Default Varis CF Air Duct

Hey I was looking into getting this on my Z. I currently have the JWT popcharger. Are the gains on this somewhat significant? I kinda like the look and was wondering how hard the install would be or how much I should be looking for a shop to put it in. I'm guessing that you will have to be cleaning the filter more often. Does anyone know a place that carries these and have a good price? Thanks.

It brings in cooler air from outside the engine bay so it definatly increases performance although gains with a piece like this are difficult to get accurate gains shown on a dyno.

The install is extremely easy. The only thing most people need help with is the rivets.

Very nice, is the the Intense Front Lip? If so I have the same setup and the duct is growing on me more and more. When you first installed it, did you notice anything different? (performance, response, sound) Thanks.
