I installed a Sri the other day, I decided to leave the bottom of the box in so the cone filter could rest in it and get air produced from the stock scoop. Are there any disadvantages to doing this? There is a picture of it in my photos

 

i dont know if that will cause any improvement. when youre driving air is going to be coming in from the front anyway.

 

I did the same thing. Seems to fit fine for me, too lazy to take out rest of box.

 

But you don't think it touching the sides of the box will cause restricted airflow?

 

^how much of the cone is touching the airbox? maybe 1% of the coverage area

 

I was just giving an example of a possible issue... ^

 

id take it out but thats just me. i like less clutter and im pretty sure its pointless.

 

Currently I have the eBay air filter on their, I have a spectre filter in my garage, would it be worth switching them out?

 

Stock airbox>SRI

Ghetto airbox mod the stock box with a quality filter seems to be the best thing out there for our cars

 

All it is, is a Sri that happens to have the bottom of the box... It's not some complex contraption

 

Just leave it as is. In or out of the lower box makes no difference.

eBay filter = Spectre filter.

 

^sig pic change FW

 

i put a SRI on my car and keep the lower half on it and tighten up my throttle cables and i can really tell a difference in it.

 

I installed a Place Racing CAI and man does it growl....without the top or bottom portion the airbox......I think I need to upgrade to a larger TB, install IM spacers, install E3 plugs (experiment), Hi Flo Cat, and a JWT ecu! I'll see even more throttle response, and torque thru that VQ30DE with those added bolt-ons Imo....Power is there but I'm working on that lowend torque area of the VQ30 or am I just spoiled by the VQ35 of my 5.5th Gen?

 

I adjusted my throttle cables so my much I don't know where stock is, can someone count how many threard peaks at exposed. Count the thread peaks on the drivers side of the adjusters please

 

We can trade engines

 

if you leave it in the box it wont do anything different then if you took the box out. but the snorkle wont work as well because theres no vacum in the box to suck the air through the snorkle, so all it will do is re direct air to the box

thought itd help because i havent seen anyother coments on the snorkle, only the box.

 

I work at advance and have heard nothing but bad things about the e3s, except they work good in fords... thought id give you a heads up.

 

there was one done like this pretty much on integras w/ it routing down to the bottom similar to a CAI setup...
