after reading inheritthefire's thread..

i decided to cut those things out of my stock air lid

i think everything turned out pretty nice:



i didnt spend much time on it because i need my car, but its not bad.. i probably wont notice anything different though

do you guys think i should take that center divider thing out?

Re: after reading inheritthefire's thread..

ok, well after a little drive, i noticed that my car idles a tad bit smoother, and also it seems not to bog down as much in 4th gear going up hills like it used to

i also tried putting it in 4th going around 25 and hitting the gas, and it seems to accelerate a tad bit quicker

all in all, i guess it was worth doing it, i wasnt expecting to get 500 more hp out of it, actually i wasnt expecting to see anything at all

i also put some wax on there to let the air in smoother

i have a 98, it seems most of that stuff is for the drive by wire TB

edit* can anyone point me to a how-to for the free ram air mod?

i did a search, but every thread i find i either about people doing it, or people asking how to do it with someone saying "do a search"

I'm glad I inspired someone to do this!

I left that middle bar in there, because all in all the air should just flow around it... the other spines would've actually blocked the air... plus, I figured that middle bar gave the oval opening some rigidity.

i just got done doing that, and took off all the air bafflers/silencers too. i also did the "free ram air" mod and am very happy with it.
with just the lip mod, i didn't really notice anything, but as soon as i did the ram air, i noticed a sound difference. you can really hear it sucking in the air!

check this out for the ram air mod:

i left that little divider in the hole opening for strength. i didn't want to tighten the clamp to much and have things bend.

see my other post about this and i mention a great part (from Ace) for replacing the air bafflers.
