This setup looks a bit decieving though. Even though they list it as CAI, it looks like a conventional intake that is getting air from the engine bay opposed to an external source.

i am pretty sure that the intake from the VIP cai comes from the lower driver side of the front bumper - no where near the engine bay.

someone correct me if i am wrong.
