another "pros and cons of sri against cai" thread.

Mate, if your resonator is removed, Dont even bother running a longer pipe to a cooler location, all that will do is slow air to your engine and could affect your engine. Remember a cai piping is not much longer than the bottom of the box, the resonator removal makes that pipe go just into the hole, the cai piping normally doesnt go much further than that, but the filter makes it obviously a bit lower. Dont bother running longer piping anywhere!

Honestly, with a resonator removed, thats all you need. If you dont want a sri or cai, get a quality panel filter. k and n are good, they can be cleaned when dirty and last a shit lot longer than stock. the "apparently" allow better flow (i disagree as you wouldnt notice against stock) and allow FAR better filteration. If you want a stock engine bay, leave the resonator off and invest in a kandn filter. Best option I can reccomend for you.
