I bet it's for a 4G15 car and it says 1.6L by mistake. Won't know until you try it! ;)

No way that is for a turbo car, it would stick out of the hood. Unless it is a generic pic. You could just buy some aluminum tubing for super cheap on eBay and get a ballin HKS Mega filter.... Or a Specter from Autozone...

I tried to read the description but the grammar was making my brain hurt.

From what I can tell by the first paragraph, it's a gimmik and a huge ripoff. I would say the technology ranks up there with those fuel atom aligners.

And no I don't think it's for a turbo Mirage.

Got my aluminum anodized purple intake from ebay for 9.99, cut it to fit, works great, believe it was for a early honda accord. Im sure it would fit the NT just as easily. And yes its a gimmik.

I think you'd be better off using pvc pipe wrapped in some heat shielding..

The problem with these is that when you coat them with the 'recomended' oil, that oil degrades the foam and it ends up getting sucked in to your engine.. (kinda anti-productive, thier recomendations acually degrade thier own products)

You gotta remember that these are very mass-produced by some 12yr olds in Bangledesh or the like.. They are NOT made to last.

So, atleast wrap the outside and inside with a new or used womens (or?) nylon 'leggings'
They take amazing amounts of heat (for a synthetic material..) It has little to no resistance and captures larger contaminents and of course, cleans easily.. And dirt cheap!

BUT.. If you're just going for 'bling', well then just go ahead.
