This is exactly what I've done for my apexi intake kit :thumbsup:

Good idea. But the air filter seems not very good.

Sorry, I just dun like the shape. :o
I will try apexi air pod or hks air pod. Just my personal opinion.

Hey you don't like it also? hahah me too....... but last time the guy in autobarn keep asking me to buy it, $14x man........

Anyway wanna to ask you something, how's the feeling of your current intake? just wanna ask the feeling for the whole rpm range

i am using HKS racing suction kit. This is a CAI system. Feeling good and looks nice. But the price is a bit expensive. I believe: more cold air intake=higher density of oxygen(in engine)= higher efficiency combustion= more output.

Power in the whole rpm range?

Not the WHOLE range , as air has to be FORCED into the combustion chamber to affect the amount of air volume etc...*IE a supercharger acts as a CAI , thru the WHOLE range*

A good CAI will increase mid and upper torque + hp - the air is forced into the combustion chamber relative to the vehicles forward speed - so faster you go , the more GULP of air in one induction stroke so more power.

Well i see..... cos i've seen the design of the HKS intake, it seems like to be trying to achieve high velocity + cold air, so i wanna know how's the feeling of the low rpm range

you could've got fresh air with a bonnet scoop, or removing your left headlight :D
