They are good for 50 hp. At least.

They really look nice!! I just saw one on Ebay.
I have the K&N and wish I had the Elite, but can't justify the cost.

The Elite airbox is definately a nice looking airbox but it acummulates alot of dust, always dusting it out, also I don't think it seals to well to the hood, It may let in some engine heat, If a rubber seal was made for the top where it seals to the hood or even a clear plexiglass top of somekind similiar to stock to let air in and keep out the heat and dust, but still get the look it would be awsome.

Very happy with mine and bought it because it was the best set-up I had seen for my ROE S/C. No hp #'s with it, but I know it keeps a lot of the heat out.

not sure i understand why you would sell the box you made? and not just weld the tubes on yourself if your company made the box? anyway the elite box is a poser mod at best thats wayyyyy to overpriced. i mean come on an aluminum sheet metal box bent up and welded on a few seams for a grand! and you guys wonder how so many justify passing along the viper tax onto us so well, its because we have people amoung us that will spend rediculous amounts of money on anything they see shiney. if these guys realized any metal fabricator could easily bend and weld an airbox out of aluminum sheet stock to the exact specs of elites box and be well under the **** me price of a grand then i feel sorry for them. this box new should cost no more than a few hundred bucks maybe 400 tops!

KINGSNAKE,
You should go aheads and make one and see how much it costs you for materials and time and then comment.
My company doesn't make these boxes anymore because of the time they take to make, I have 2 that are close to completion and am offering them to anyone who wants one. If tehy are so easy to make, them they should be even easier to finish off, YES??? Yes they are a poser mod, but for every performance mod sold there are probably an equal amount of poser mods sold, it is personal preference.

listen gts... i am not saying that they are not time comsuming to make ok. i am not in the business of fabricating things out of metal but have talked to those that do it for a living ok. those professionals said they could produce this box EASILY in a cost effective way because they have the tools on hand and the knowledge to make the piece. obviously if the reason you dont make the piece is because the time involved then by the way these guys sound that i talk to, that work with fabricating metal, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING ANYWAY OK. dont lash out at me pal, your product is over priced and no research and techhnology to prove that it gives any power addition. i admit it looks sharp, but so does alot of poser mods we all buy. but you have to have your head examined to buy this for a GRAND is what i am saying. you wanna talk my business then talk textiles, i distribute industrial fabrics around the world. i can tell you that if i was a novice with metal i could make this box i bet. if i was not a as skilled it would take longer and cost more due to the mistakes made along the way and time consumed making it right, but a skilled metal worker would set a psise die cut of the box, bend it up, weld, and polish it in hours. not a bad deal huh, a grand for a few hours worth of work and minimal cost in parts! beat it , no wonder your bust!

v10kingsnake,
I simply offered 2 of them for free, how you can go off in a rant about how I don't know what I am doing is beyond explanation. I just elected to not make these anymore for Scott at Elite.
PS. My post was not an attack on you just a reply, you should maybe have someone else read it for you to see if they see it as a personal attack.
Stugots, I would suggest that you contact Scott at Elite for any performance figures, I never tested this product.

i never took it personally to be honest for you. i never read that you had been offering these boxes for free in your post so since thats the case, if you send me one i will take it to a top metal fabricator buddy of mine who works one parts for orange county choppers so he can look it over. if interested pm me and i wil let you know where to send it. if he reproduces it he will give you royalties for the box which should be more than the aggravation you had experienced with making them to begin with. i apologize for the harse comments towards you. -v10

V10,
The two boxes are now spoken for but I do have a stack of all the parts laser cut out of aluminum, I think about enough for 20 boxes or so. I will have to get one of my employees to do a count on what is there. I am not looking for royalties and will sell to you what is avail if you want it at whatever it cost me.
Thanks
Steve
