Re: FIPK Rival? It actually uses a ZR1 corvette filter, and not a bit of it is blocked, the lid moves the Maf towards the TB and leaves about a 1 1/2" gap, the opening in the front is about 2 1/4" and of course the base allready has the FRA incorparated which is the same size as the filter.

Re: FIPK Rival? That would look really great if it was painted to match the car. I wouldn't mind having one but the black doesn't look too inticing to me. Paint it and make it look goood.

Re: FIPK Rival? True. But to me it looks like the plastic isn't very clean looking or made to look good. Maybe spray some black on it so give it a shine or something. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: FIPK Rival? Do you think it will really show a difference though? People dyno with the airbox off, with a 3 inch extension, with the filter out and always dyno within 1-3RWHP. I dont know how much it will really help...

Re: FIPK Rival? Why not just make one out of sheetmetal? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I remember seeing Steve H.'s sheetmetal airbox and it was sweet.

I went ahead and ordered one. It looks kind of neat. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: FIPK Rival? I think it might give a little more power with the airfilter in versus a whisper or equiv lid with the airfilter in.
I ran almost 123mph through an A4 with the whisper and airfilter in. and almost identical mph with the AF out.
I am very curious to see the dyno differences from a whisper lid setup.
I think it is a great idea but I would need to see a direct comparision flobench and dyno wise between this new setup and the whisper.
Cheers,
Chris
