I can't wait to see a pic of it on the car! I'm a sucker for functional CF in the engine compartment!

I'm with you, I am not a fan of CF as bling.

Scott, what are we looking at in this picture? I see a CF plenum, but what exactly are the purpose of the polished horns?

After the 4.0L intake plenum tested separate the engine made 500 rwhp.
After the custom Schrick cams the engine put down 512 rwhp.
FWIW these are the facts.
Believers or not ... be that as it may.

Nice, I had it wrong, I thought the cams were in before the plenum. either way, your car was in need of more air to injest and the 4.0 and the cams fit the bill!

Colin is truly an artist, that looks awesome. I need an excuse to come up to see it. Our next track day is too far away!

Not that weight is the reason I did this but just to answer the weight question:
Stock 3.6 plenum is 14 lbs
AutoSea cf plenum is 6 lbs

The OEM 4.0 intake plenum weighs less than the 3.6L plenum.
Now does the CF 4.0 plenum make more power?
