hahaha im rockin a coney filter on my stock tube, works great, just have to zip tie it away from the exhaust manifold

[FlipKing]

I didnt ziptie, i had a piece of metal with holes in it and attached one end to the maf and another to the body away from the exaust manifold

Heres 2 pics. I rotated the maf and used a radio bracket to pull the filter away from the exaust manifold.

Perfect for sucking heated air right off the exhaust manifold. :lol:
Thats why they do the elbow intakes and isolators.
One proven place in the engine compartment for intake is in the corner
by the master cyl. as well.
This setup extends the intake to that spot.

Yep. And this one as well...which is the same design, different brand.

Some of these outfits claim 2hp etc but I am not sure thats ever been proven
at speed. I do know that winning cars generally use them however.

Why not just put it on the coldside right behind the headlight? Works for NAs and NBs alike.

Pretty sure doppel is talking about what you did.
Can be done for both generations alike, simply have to bring the PCV hose and the wiring over to it.

Hmm, i'll look into that. Even what I did makes it sound more aggresive. Seems to have helped a bit too, but maybe thats me just enjoying the sound,lol

Tried it on my NB with a leftover AEM filter from my Ion, but it just wouldn't fit. Yes, I took the rubber seal off the tube before I tried jamming it on. What filter are you guys using? I like the growl my car's capable of when the airbox lid isn't all the way closed, and I would assume a cone filter would do that better.
