I never really thought about that but yeah you are right. It's a great bit of kit and comes with quite a few extras, retail price is 1148 for one

MRC fit the ITG as part of their Stage 1. (Obviously owner is asked if they want it added first)

No idea whether it yields any more power but would imagine a few horses after a tune.

The AWE one is a cone filter (pretty sure it is, been a while; but isn't the OEM filter a cone one too?).

1 big cone filter for both banks, or 2 smaller cones?
Wasn't someone doing an upgrade to their C7 filter system on here?

Just 1 filter.

I've seen some kits that separate the 2 banks with a filter each but they are open with no intake box so must suffer from heat soak.
Yes someone on here was doing some trials and tests.
