Carbon intake?
IMHO pointless (now Adam has issued a smite my way).
Light? sure. Lighter than AL? Not by enough you'd win the race.
Not sure on the heat transfer advantage if any.
It looks cool but really that's the only reason for that part in Carbon.
I think I'd spend the $399-$4000 bucks (depending on model) on something more useful than a carbon Dinan intake.

Especially since nobodys CAI has ever been shown to boost power by more than 3% by itself. Not a good bang for the buck.
