Default here it is!

<center><img src="http://packet.hypermart.net/audi/ConeFilter.jpg"></center><p>Passanger side of the engine compartment.

Hooked directly to the MAF Via an adapter I bought from <a href="http://www.tap1.com">tap1.</a>

It uses metal brackets also supplied by tap, one hooks to the fender wall, one to the fuel filter clamp, and one below the AC piping.

Default not really noisy, but its louder

You can heard it, but even from the begining I liked the sound. Now it feels like part of my car.

Default tap sells the kit for $95

The difference is actually pretty amazing.

It really drives like a new car. In the RPMs where it was week before, it has alot more pull.

Seems to work even better with the throttle body mod, due to more air flowing to the throttle body in the first place, and then more getting through the throttle body.

Its not going to make it an M5, but it does feel alot more versitile.

Default I pulled it out, and built my own hose!

didn't have it in the picture

but I think you mean the hose which the air from outside comes in. I made my own using pipe I got from Ace Hardware. Its running from the grill, towards the cone, stopping short enough so rain won't get through.

I think they call it a pre-heat tube. There is like a metal cover goes over the exaust manifold and a hose connects to it and goes to the lower portion of the air box. Maybe it is only for CA cars.
