Looks tight. Any noticeable improvement/noise from the K&N cold air intake?
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

Thanks man!

Yeah i feel like it flows better at high rpm so it pulls all the way to the red line and with the stock air intake setup the power drops off when you get to about 5000. There's deffinately a fair bit of induction noice.

I'll post some pics of the setup tomorrow.

Just found this photo from the front that looks like i've run over my cat!

My car doesn't have foggies because the first owner must have been a cheap-o the vent on the drivers side feeds my cold air intake

Image

This is the setup from the top. The "K&N cold air intake kit" just came with a pod filter to mount onto the end of the black plastic piping, where the blue silicone section is, they provided a peice of flexy hose to run somewhere to collect cold air and bring it to the pod filter, which would have been useless. I've put a K&N Apollo air filter on it now because they are enclosed, and with the silicone pipe it sits down in the slot where the old resonator went.

Image

The vent feeds the area where the resonator should be with cold air constantly so it works quite well as a cold air intake setup.

Image

let me know what you guys think.
