    thats an awful lot of bends and I don't think there would be enough force to get the air up to the engine.. or am I wrong???

    yeah, it would be nice if there were fewer bends but there should be plenty of velocity to get the air there.

    This is what they refer to as an "interfooler". And no, it's no better than any other CAI... basically a ricer mod.

    Doesn't look that bad but it would be even better if it actually served a real purpose...

    It would be interesting to see if there were any ram air effects at higher speeds. It would definitely look funny though looking at a n/a car and seeing what looks like an intercooler.

    Radiators can get pretty hot, I really doubt that the air will be much colder than from the inside of the engine bay. Even if it was, the design claims to work without the MAFS, so there would be no way for the computer to compensate for colder air.

    you could always wire teh IAT sensor all the way on the bottom of the pipe to read colder air = if you get that ghetto intercooler intake :p
