Stock airbox restrictions - where are they, how to overcome them. Great Article!

It is hard to believe I agree, but his car was dyno'ed before and after this modification..., maybe his tuned haltech interceptor has also something to do with it.

I can't see a 20kw gain, don't care what the dyno says, especially from such a simple change.
Dispite that, I'm curious.

I've had a look at mine, and the picture. Firstly, do I HAVE to cut the hole in the side?
Not a fun of cutting things up

secondly, what pipe?
Only one I see goes straight up, not towards the motor as described

Further I don't consider $200, or often less, a great expense for the option I proposed, noting that I stay well clear of CAI's as I consider they offer a few disdvantages with very few advantages over a good SRI, and either will outdo any air-box mod anytime - yet will still never, ever get you 20Kwatw.

You may indeed be right, but I remain to be convinced.

I've put the SRI on mine, as I can revert back to the stock airbox if I sell the vehicle.

Food for thought tho: Dyno results on standard vehicle / with CES SRI
