The end product does look nice, and LARGE. All good things. I had imagined it would be similar size to the F6 CAI, is seems that the F6 CAI is only 2/3 the size.

The main benefits I can see would be that as you say, all air is from behind the headlight. Also, by having the one entry point, I would figure the air pressures should be more constant, rather than having to battle varying pressures from two entries.

I may have to go and invest in the APS system purely so I can gauge the differences.

Job well done! maybe it's time for a dyno? (I know my car wants to give me some figures)

Thats what I thought at first that it would be a metal version of the F6 CAI and I was only gonna check it out but when I actually examined it up close, it was pretty chunk, and weighty too.

I think I'll have to wait a little before I dyno this thing, as I'm interested to know what it actually did for me since this is the only mod I've done to it ... but then again, I haven't dynod it without the mod so i cannot be certain about the gain. The place I looked at (and bought the intake from) charges around $125 for dyno and having no idea how much a dyno costs, this seemed pretty steep... for now anyway.

But yea I'll , dyno this eventually. Also driving to Sydney next week so I wanna know what it does to my highway consumption

why not just get a custom intake pipe made??? then u can run it where u want it!!! put a pod filter under the head light in the guard/front bar !!!

Yea, could have done that and probably woulda been cheaper, but I'd prefer to keep my bay looking as close to stock as I can.
Besides, I still want to be able to get to my air filter

well if u wantef the stock look ......why not make a custom air box ??? i'v made a ton of them for various cars!!! custom work is great it normally means your car will stand out ......plus they work s**t loads better

Oh, I dont doubt that custom jobs can be done better and can work a s**t better, but whats done here is done and I'm happy with the result.

well that good when modding a car it's all about what u want....and if u got what u want then good on ya..........lock please...............
