It fits the G, and it does retain the factor strut brace.

Well, Kenetix sold 100's of sheetmetal plenums at about $900 for basically no gain. We have tuned a bunch of them, and they did not perform....sorry Kenetix.

If Cosworth can keep the plenum closer to $1K, and can demonstrate good power, it's a winner.

I think you guys know me well enough by now. If this thing sucks, I will not sell it...PERIOD. I dont get too excited by manufacturer's claims, but Cosworth is a world class engineering company...so I give them more credit than most.

You're forgetting that we don't really care about NA.

I might be very interested if they release a polished version. Then maybe someone will buy my Kinetix's one for super cheap.

it's actually kinda similar to the stock plenum design if you think about it - but yeah the ducts are bigger/longer and the air box area around them bigger as well so should work pretty well.

looks pretty heavy though - at least as heavy as stock, even if the sides are CF

What if you already have cams...? This could be a very good complement to a built FI system.

LOL; true dat. I didn't even realize this was in the FI section at first; a thread was started on it in the NA intake/exhust section a couple days ago...

It looks like an interesting design.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs also.
Then I might have to put yet another item on my shopping list...
