The real ones were made by Metco, are no longer available. I think Matt or Matt in Detroit had one they were selling a while back, don't know if it's still for sale, may want to send a PM.

The intake tube or the radiator cover? The tube was from Metco, the radiator cover was from DG Motorsports. They were the real deal, not a sticker. Neither is available any longer.

Good catch. I just assumed the tube, but the radiator cover's pretty slick as well.

There no longer sold, but you can have a replica made that looks like the real thing. I am waiting on a price now for my cold air kit.

That does look like a really good product, no doubt. But I just never once found Carbon Fiber even remotely interesting.

I might consider that. I just sanded that whole opening down too the metal and sprayed it all flat black. I can not have anything reflective on it, the sun shoots it back and BLINDS you. Thats why those scoops where originally flat black from factory. Let me see it when you get it.

How many members here are willing to put out 600.00 for a CAK, few if any, what are the gains, maybe 12RWHP yes it looks great, when Metco made the Tube back in 04 it was almost 300.00 Paul at Paul's HP made the SS CAK, I just recently got it made by another company since Paul no longer makes it, and the price has come down, the Carbon fiber is gone, no one will make it for a car out of production, unless some one was willing to buy a hundred of them so the only option is the carbon fiber replica offered by Hydro solutions and that is very high as well, so as many things its days gone by, my advice to members here is buy every part for this car you can while there still made, and look on Ebay, as we all know the OEM bumper is no longer available.

+1...I agree with you 100% on that one Dennis and it doesn't help matters that some of the CV guys are buying/interested MM parts as well. Let the hoarding begin.

Doesn't look like they offer one for a Panther, and the products they do offer are $400+. Why would you want one of these?

The CAK I have fits the panther and K&N also sells one
