I'm impressed with how well the air flows through that hose, I was worried the ridges would slow it down a bunch.

So I decided to not wait and do the second intake today, I chose to change the mounting bracket around as it was causing the upper hose on the right to be crimped slightly..
I now realize the K&N CAI really wasn't living up to its potential.. when coasting (no throttle) I would get 4L/100 km, now I get 2L/100 km (thats 58mpg to 117mpg) On the highway I would get 8L/100km and now it dances between 6&7L/100km ( 29mpg to 39/33 mpg)!!!

Nice! I'm loving this mod. Let us know how it does in rain, or if it is even effected. That's the only thing that really has me worried. I don't want to be driving in a torrential downpoar sucking up water through those hoses.

just wanted to give a little update, before I put the scoops in I was getting 16.5ish L/100km (14.25mpg) overall average, It has since dropped to 14.8L/100km (15.89mpg) AVG pretty good overall, will pay for itself in no time!

if you could get it to function without having a ton of wind flowing through it, that would really help when at lower speeds, i`ve noticed this setup only really has a big noticeable effect when at 60-100km/h

I have my filter in the fenderwell. Love the setup, it's nice and cool. If Dom still has the pic he can upload it, I deleted them from the phone and the car is 30 miles away.

that would be awesome.. how would that work? would it be liquid cooled?
