PWNED!

i thought we were told by a moderator to let it be and that this [censored] was a dead issue. 95, if you are going to keep posting stupid [censored] then so be it, other members, just ignore his comments and he will stop making them. It is a dead issue; lets not bring it up anymore. We already had one thread locked becuase of this, lets not have any more get locked.

Well what I did because my KKM was not the SVT model with the attachment that goes to the fender, I just took a 3.5" piece of ABC pipe that had the inside part threaded, cut it so I ended up with a 1" ring that was threaded on the inside, glued this to the end of the KKM over the opening on the end. I then took 3" aluminum dryer hose and threaded it into the piece that was glued in, then extended the other end into the stock fender snout and clamped it.

I'm hopeing that when the filter is pulling in air, its pulling some from the inverted cone part on the end, thus pulling a little cool air from the fender. I also notice the car is pretty freakin loud now with the open air and having the exhaust and Ypipe done (I had only run the stock airbox since having the exhaust until last night).

I think I've gained a bit of throttle response vs the stock airbox, lost a bit of bottom end torque but gained some after the secondaries open. I have not had much time to drive and let it really get heatsoak...

i took out my fog light(driver side) and put flexi pipe allthe way from my cone opening to the fog light and kuld notice a slight increase...not only that it sounded good..i took it out cuz it sucked up alot of crap and i didnt feel like buying any bug screen...now im pondering the idea of drilling out some large holes in the cone to suck in some more air...not sure if i want to tho...
