Status Elite Short Ram Intakes LE 19 of 22 Made
I bought the car with these installed and decided to go with Gen3s and need the extra cash. These were on the car for aprox. 10k miles and are in very good condition. They are number 19 of 22 total limited run sets made by Status Elite, and although they originally retailed for $800 I dont think any intakes are worth quite that much. After some research it was claimed that these made 13-14whp but I've not had a dyno to substantiate this myself. However, I can say that these did seem to pull a little harder than the Gen3s at higher RPMs, although its possible this is just perception. They make a faint whooshing sound at higher RPMs, they look good, and the filters are easier to clean than long tube intakes.
SOLD!!

Thanks. Knowing what i know now, I wouldve just kept these instead of putting in the effort to install and source the Gen3s on here...however, given the fact that I already have the Stillen front fascia, i figured it made sense to have the intakes that were designed to go with it.

Install? Should be cake. Although these were on the car when I bought it I have very little auto mechanical skills and was able to install my Gen3 intakes without too much of an issue and those involved having to remove the front fascia and cutting some plastic to fit those. These you wont have to remove the front bumper. Basically it'll involve unhooking your battery terminal, removing the old intakes, connecting 4 hoses to the intake manifold, popping the MAF sensors into the new intakes, and bolting the intakes to brackets in the engine bay. I would think 30mins at most.
