the forge is going to be pulling in pure cold air though, from either the ram air scoop in the slam panel, or from the bottom filter acting as a CAI below the head light. the ITG one will get a little air given to it from the slam panel but also from the engine bay.
plus i think once on the move the forge intake should press home an advantage for having a ram air intake built into it. plus it looks infinately better than all the others on the market

....Yes, exactly my thoughts too.
However, I know from talking to ITG many moons ago that they weren't going to bother launching a new CAI unless they could offer significant gains. So the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. I like my pudding to look appetisingly attractive as well though and this is fugly!

Its the position of it which I'm not sure about right behind
the headlight and shrouded in thick foam,
without open fog grills it will not get much air, come winter when the roads get mucky I'm gonna be putting the stock grills back on
not written off yet though still keen to see some performance figures, and forge are raking forever to release their's...

....Forge seem to prefer to test their products in America and I believe that they sell more products there than in the UK. The Forge guys across the pond are certainly very active and play a part in development.
