Ok here it goes, I thought that I better post them up before I go to bed.

The first thing I did was to take off the bumper, so a couple of screws and clips later, the bumper was off...too easy.

Then I removed the resonator and the airbox and put the Mugen one in (don't think that I need to go into details.)

Also install the scoop that catches the air from the bumper beside the foggies.

So here it is. Haven't given the car a good drive yet and will post up my thoughts tomorrow when I have.

But mission accomplished! And I'm proud that I did it all on my own.

Depends on the dyno. :) Why don't you go for the next dynoday? Then your numbers can be compared to the other cars on the day too. BTW, when am I going to get to see your car? I've even moved to Melb already! Go for the BBQ meet.

Nice! How much bigger is the Mugen top and bottom half of the airbox when compared to stock?

I hope I can go to the BBQ meet. I want to see your car. Some say she has a tail hidden in her boot, and if you don't put unleaded in it she will growl.

It leads from the front bumper beside the foglights straight to the funnel that leads to the airbox, so it's really direct.

Here's a photo of where the scoop is. Not sure if you can see it clearly, but that's the point I guess. It's meant to be "stealth". Hehe.

When the car is moving there is heaps of fresh air running from front and under the car to where the Icebox horn/CAI filter sits. I did some testing with my RSM and g sensor with the air ramming into the icebox air horn. Tested with and without the fog cover opening (eg 60-100 - 2nd gear, full throttle). Tried to keep conditions as similar as possible - same day, same road.

Time differences were negligible so if you are chasing more power try something else. I think you need to be going faster than legal road speeds to see the benefit of ram air.

ohhh.... yfin, please don't tell us the fact, i will dream on as if it had 10kw gain from the cover off =p
