With that being said, the noise is less than what you get with the top down or even the windows down. With the top up, you mostly hear the intake howl, the "whoosh" of the air rushing past the throttle body, and a small hum from the timing belt. In other words, I would say that the noise that comes through, is the noise that everybody tries to amplify by removing the snorkal. Of course, I'm biased though... epapp has ridden with me with the clear cover on so he can give you an objective critic on added noise. I'll also try to post sound clips comparing the two.

Yellow986S: I'm thinking of possibly selling a couple of these since I ended up making the equipment needed to mass produce them (like molds, heaters, frames, etc..) in the process of trying to get it right and have it fit with an OEM feel replicate dimensions. But don't expect them to cost an arm and a leg. Honestly, I think it would be cheaper for you guys too, because unless you have acrylic bending tools and a precise way to measure the engine cover in three dimensional space, it'll take a couple of tries (which with this size of glass is expensive) before getting it perfect. Also, the one in the pictures is also not perfect, but it's getting close. Butttt, with that being said, it depends on the demand for them as well. I also don't expect to be able to quit my job from the money I get and so I'm not going to price it that way; expect, hobby price... Just enough to let me do other DIY mods to the car.

And thank you all for the compliments!

Sounds awesome!
I am definitely interested in buying this once you have made a final product. I think it would look awesome if you painted the intake manifold or laid some carbon fiber over it. 2 Thumbs up!!
