The design on this CAI is as so,
The filter will reside right in front of the AC condensor just RT of the centerline of the vehicle. The tube will run from there over to just past the Left center line of the vehicle and turn upwards. It will then pass through the radiator support where the OE air box resides and go directly to the T-Body. Tha MAF will mount into the pipe near its stock location.

Im confused by your answer, what I was wondering was will the CAI filter [im assuming it is a cone filter] be visible through the MS front bumper. Such as the AEM CAI is on some cars.
It is great to have an ACTUAL CAI as opposed to the plethora of short ram kits out there.

Yes if you look for it you will be able to see it but remember the grille opening is at squirrel height.

Just curious, I've been waiting till hell freezes over for this CAI. I've held off the AEM for months and just wondered what differences(if any)between the 2. Is it in any way refined from the AEM unit? I'm assuming that AEM designed this intake for MS but will it have the new filter(dry) or the older (oiled) one? And, will it have an etched in ms logo?

The Mazdaspeed version
1- Is built to a higher quality standard for fit and finish
2- Has the MS on the section of pipe in the engine bay
3- As for the filter I it is a dry filter.
4- Most importantly, with the Mazdaspeed CAI a dealer can't give you any crap because you have it on your car.
Also, Hell will be having a small section of it freeze over very shortly.

Did Mazdaspeed partner with AEM in this or just copy them straight out?

I think it's going to look really nice under the hood.
I really am excited for it haha.
I've never seen the picture of the AEM installed so thats why I said "I think"
