Default My new toy...

Got me a new airfilter, added a 100mm Aluhose for cold air and fixed it with a clamp. Total costs 70$.
New temp readings are great and the car pulls harder than ever.

The red line shows the temps with the new filter and air intake, the yellow line shows the temps with the original airbox without the airpipe.

Is that better than the duct-tape mounting system? =oO

Default it's a ractive intake with a stainless steel mesh for the filter...

tried it, but was still restrictive. It is very quiet.

To clean, just remove and hose down! Not recommend for those that live in dusty areas as the fine dust can still enter since the filter uses no oil.
