The idle fluctuates a little at the lights from heatsoak i think. Might need to make a heatshield and add a cold air feed.

Fitment looks exactly the same as mine yay!

get a SRI or CAI, changing the filter willl make minimal difference because the box is still a P.O.S.

and also here's my Apexi one, give the car a real suction sound even at idle.
sounds like someone put a vucuum in there with the engine xD,

And if you read the thread you'll get an answer that is no don't get a Sri, just do a cai.

yes true the CAI is technically better so yeh go CAI, im thinking of changing over too.

maybe get the TODA of fillit.but CBF and the resistance in using a CAI is much greater because of the extended pipe, causes problems at high end revs.

in a perfect world the power graph of a car would be straight and linear according to the RPM, but due to things like long air intake pipes this creates and effect and causes resistance at high revs.
plus i plan on doing someowork inside the engine bay to make the honeycomb breathable

hmm are those cheap $50 ebay sri worth it?
