Siliconing an air filter... that's a greeeeeeat idea. :rolleyes
I imagine replacing that filter would get old, quickly.
They clean out pretty easily once a year.
I don't doubt it would sound louder, but wouldn't you lose power due to the air not funneling properly? Not to mention it would be a pain in the ass to change that filter.
Maybe your trolling and I'm just not paying attention? :shrug
If you read that guys thread he reported no power loss at all.
Yeah cleaning it would suck I suppose but how do you swap them in the CSL intake?
I'm sure you could make a removable bracket system that would be less permanentQuote:

I like the idea, but not willing to hack up my car just yet. Would need an additional one to play with.
Edit: I don't like how it isn't taking in cold air from the front like the oem intake. I have all the stuff to perform the IAT relocation, but haven't found the time yet. That won't change the sound but I think it would change the performance in a non-denominational way. If that's true then I think this would lower preformance.
Ya it's not done. He said he wanted to create piping to the brake ducts
