Which stirs something: why caan't we manufacture our own CAI by buying a piece of carbon fiber tubing, route it down the right side of the engine bay and put a K&N filter at the end of it?

Thnk back on the earlier versions of the Dinan CAI's for the e36 M3's and such. They were along the same lines. Matter of fact, it wouldn't have to be carbon fiber. Just some good ductwork material, a bracket or two and a clamp on K&N. Should work. Right?
