Oh, okay, I see now. I didn't notice the regular intake still in place. Thanks for the explanation.

really slick job, nice work!!

what did you use to connect the intake cone to the MAF sensor? and what size opening is on the cone?

It's a 3" Filter, so I simply fitted it over the MAF sensor and secured it with a radiator clamp.

So how exactly is this better than the stock airbox?

IPD and Eurosport claim it increases fuel economy and/or horsepower, but I doubt it. As far as the volume of air or the temperature of the air it's drawing from behind the grille, it's virtually the same as stock. The only significant difference is the stock air box is affected more by the ambient temperature. For me the advantage is the sound.

I think the biggest improvement was removing the gravel guard from in front of the air intake next to the radiator.

love the sound... biggest advantage to me is having that big arse box out of the way

Has anyone ever opened up the wheel well to direct colder air towards the intake?
Without looking at my car/pics, I'm thinking open up a hole using a sawzall, place a grill over the opening to stop large debris, and use a piece of hard rubber to fashion a "scoop" inside the wheel well to stop water from tire spin as well as to direct the air up into the intake.
