    Yeah, that looks like a CAI pipe from another car that he just put on.

    It's almost everyone's first intake though since it's cheap.

    The xA one isn't as retarded as the first one. At least it's not completely cradled into the firewall. This one actually sits on top of the valve cover where air moves through. I don't know why the guy made a custom Spectre one when he can just buy a CAI by a reputable company which is dyno proven.

    Also, that xA could have relocated the battery and just custom the intake in the battery area.
