Matte black super durable powder coat finish with a laser cut stainless steel M7 medallion.  8" long x 6" dia RED pleated washable filter BLACK 100% silicone 4 ply custom connection elbow Unlike other systems on the market the MAF sensor stays in the stock location. No modifications necessary. The air filter element securely mounts to a sturdy metal adapter tube, not to the delicate plastic (and very expensive) MAF sensor housing.  The M7 R56 Vortex 2 Scoop (PN 56-4M7202 or 56-4M7203) will be a fabulous addition to this system in terms of style and air volume entering under the hood and feeding the open filter element. The Vortex 2 Scoop is sold separately. Heat is Enemy Number 1 under the hood of the R56. We recommend adding our turbo heat shield (PN 56-3M7111 or 56-330115) as part of the installation. The Turbo Heat Shield is sold separately. Ease of installation 100% Made in The USA TECH NOTES: If your vehicle is not equipped with a MAF Sensor (most early non-USA models) you will need the optional MAF Spacer|Adapter to connect properly to stock components on your car. If using a stock scoop, removal of the factory blocking plate is recommended. This product is C.A.R.B. approval. EMISSIONS NOTES:  NOW C.A.R.B. EO #D-766 listed.  Legal for use in all 50 States!
