    First of all, thank you so much to Jon (X1-Racer) sending me this wonderful piece of art and Piggie for the silicon hose to the exact size that I needed!

    I have done some preliminary logs on before and after the air box there are 3 things I found out:

    1. Airflow does improve, before the airbox usually i can get 254g/s at 6500rpm, after putting the airbox been getting 261g/s at 6500rpm. (also compare the whole rpm range from 3500rpm to 5000rpm average about 3~5g/s increase on airflow north side of 5k rpm 5~7g/s

    2. Physical test, after 45mins of driving(some stop and go traffic): before the airbox the neck of the filter, the metal part is so damn hot, it would burn my finger, after the airbox all the enviorments are the same I can grab the filter neck without burning my fingers if I were to put temp as a reference I would guess >150f vs <80.

    3. Throttle respond, now this one I dont have any data to back it up but butt dyno tells me on increasing rpm the car is smoother it doesnt have a sudden jerk say when i step on it hard it climbs fast smooth.

    Side note: have tried a few different position of the filter itself, and have done a few logs back to back seems like the best position of the filter to get the most airflow is sit it higher closer to the hood liner. When i first got the ITG filter I tried to tuck it nicely in the hole where the OG airbox is but once i reposition it let it sit higher closer to the hood liner, immediatly i got better airflow! Now I dont know why may be someone can help explaining the theory to me! TIA

    All right enough bullshit :p here are the pictures (please excuse my picture taking skills and poor lighting just want to get the pictures up as soon as i could!

    trying to show the position of the filter


    This image showing the airduct is blowing right at the middle of the filter


    Another one showing position of the filter


    Top view: Silicon hose is 6 1/2" long


    Another top view: showing 6 1/2" long silicon hose




    I will upload higher res pictures tomorrow, stay tune!
