    His complete intake went much further.

    i cut it since SRI > FWI

    that and FWI doesnt work with the I/C.

    The way it is now it hardly fits.

    I would have just bolted that filter to the throttle body and zip tied the IAT sensor close to the filter and been done.

    Well I dont want to trust just having the IAT ziptied and it was you who said, that in the lower to no mod other than intake applications it is better to get the cold air than to get the warm air by doing a straight off the TB set-up

    When your stock sure...but honestly...once you start modding an open cone is the best thing you can do.

    Also, the restriction is in the corregated tubing, not the airbox you removed.

    He left the most restrictive part on there, the ****ty tubing off of the TB.

    I made an open cone with a metal 45 degree pipe from spectre and a k&n 9"

    How is it not effective, do you mean completely effective? 3" is still going to be better than stock.
