Default New Carbon Materials For Spoon Air Intake?

Just picked up my new Spoon snorkel style intake from Speeeding. The part looks great and I can't wait to install it. An impression series shall follow. I just noticed that the duct now sports 1 layer of Carbon Kevlar, and 1 layer of Carbon Fiber. Before the whole duct used to be 100% Carbon Kevlar. Is there any benefits here or is it a cost benefit to Spoon???

They have always looked/been cf on the back and carbon kevlar on the front. I have had two. One I bought 2 years ago and the other one I bought 2 months ago, were exactly the same. I went through A & J out of Canada for them.

I always thought the carbon kevlar was more durable...

kevlar is stronger and harder to form than cf. plus cf is cheaper

I have never seen one like the first one. Maybe thats a knockoff? I know the valve cover insert changed over the years. I bought one 2 years ago and it was carbon kevlar all over. I just bought another one 2 months ago as well and it had a black coating on the underside of it and it came with washers for the OEM screws so you dont break the pre-drilled holes. Hard to say. Where did you get both of them?
