Hey guys n' gals. What (if anything) did you guys do to the enclosure around the 2 filters to allow more air in? I'm thinking of drilling some holes in there to allow more cold air... don't want to increase the chances of water getting it though I suppose.
Any suggestions?
THanks...

Cut out a hole in the plastic piece under the car directly under the filters and install a small scoop :D Be sure to put a screen in it to prevent leaves or other large objects from getting and clogging it up [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Or *cough* small animals. It would be sad to be driving down the road and have your filter plugged by a squirrel or something.

i did a small scoop like that and i already had a cai, and i didn't feel $hit. i bought an a/c duct elbow. it basically looks like a huge scoop about 3.5x10in. and put it in that same location and right after install went on 250mi. highway trip and felt a huge difference at high speeds. i did not like the fact that it scrapped on everything and eventually got crumpled so badly i took it off. now i have a totally diff. set up.
This is the upgrade I did, but I used a wider scoop, and I did feel a difference. Especially in the warmer weather. I also noted that the sound was a lot better thru my Exhaust.
JinX, i like your setup...thanks for the info. I am going to have to do something here.
I guess it's harder for you to change a turnsignal bulb now though eh? : )

They were already a pain in the butt. But to tell you the truth when I put it in, I replaced the turn bulbs anyway with long life bulbs.

Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
