Haha, I forgot to put the intake completely back on becuase I was working on my alternator because the bolt came loose and the whole time I was getting eatin alive by nats and a couple ants. So I hurried to get done. Got up the next day and heard my car, oh yeah it sounds really good, nice and mean. Sounds faster than it really is, but has more power and my car doesnt boggle down at 4k anymore, so off air filter it is.

ah I wouldnt run your car without the air filter completely, just get a new one. Its probably a little clogged up.

I just left the box, but took off the little black weird shapped tube that makes it go down into the bumper. Sounds mean, try different combinations and see what still sounds good, while retaining the most stock parts.

yeah its sounds good, im getting tons of people turning their heads now. I might take the bottom part out but im not sure, Im pretty sure it brings more air to the filter box, and the other tube is for the water to fall down and not go into the filter.
