The picture if the black JBP intake is actually mine. That particular version was made of aluminium. Part of the instructions at that time was to shave part of the PCM and the inner fender to allow for clearance. Even with that done it rubbed on both causing the gashes in the intake. As for having a cyclonic air flow I cannot see how that was accomplished since the interior of the version I had had no fins of any sort to manoeuvre air. As for the placement for the MAF the JBP is on the elbow. Within a week of having the intake on I threw a lean code and did every time it rained. Also With the lower portion of the intake being on a 45 degree angle it pushes out the fender liner more than the RAW intake so much so that it also bulged out enough to cause a hole. Mind you I was lowered. I would imagine if I was not lowered I would not have had his problem.
As for the RAW intake it is make out of thick stainless steel which I currently have in my car. The advantages of this intake are that it won’t rub through because of the material used. Also the lower portion of the RAW intake is straight and with the MAF being in line I have yet to throw a CEL. Yes it is more expensive and yes it is a tight fit but once you have your intake installed with the proper angles you should not have any problems.
