Thanks for the reply!

I was going to use the red intake silicone tube as I actually have it but I needed a block off plunger for the firewall and just decided to keep the stock acoustic tube & canister intact. It is a bit finicky if you don't have the hoses tight so make sure you do that.

It is a bit louder than stock imo and I actually may run slightly slower than stock airbox because I'm not tuned. Eventually will get flex fuel and will get the car tuned for E50.

You can see the knock correction learn value that may be from my fuel quality or actually the intake but without going into the logs and resetting my ecu that's my best guess.


I actually did not take off the entire bumper but you do need to unbolt some things to get to it.

Overall fairly easy install but you may scratch the tube if you do not have the right angle to clear the front core support.
