Karbonius Carbon Airbox: Traditional vs Race

[Theraqa]

after judging a lot, im thinking to go with standard version, because it retains kidney grill ducting plus combined with headlight cutout for direct air it really does make huge difference on high speeds, race version is cool but it only uses air from bumper and i think using all possible ways to provide more air into airbox is smarter choice (headlight cutout, kidney grill with AFE ram air ducting and air from csl bumper hole)

Please show/tell us more about it, im super interested as im about to order one of those

Don't listen to the shit advice above, listen to this guy who's presenting pragmatic information below. See dyno thread for additional data.

Just saw this, race snorkel ala bimmerworld has been proven to make less power and bottleneck the exact thing the the CSL airbox is trying to do by many including Hassan as far back as 2019, probably earlier too. Euro race cars dont use this shit, they have thiccc race radiators slanted at an angle with a CSL trumpet that takes air directly from kidneys. Also probably a reason the cheapo Turner makes good power as well, per the dyno thread.

None of these airbox differences will show up on a dyno run with huge amounts of ambient air being pumped at the open engine bay, lol. (Except for the shit variants of the race style setup that neck down) You’re looking at minor tune, setup and engine health differences in that thread.
