how often do you have to clean the filter? i would imagine it would get very dirty very fast...

You do realize that you just clean a K&N and not replace it?

Not trying to start an arguement, but are you certain? I don't want to sound like a young punk thinking it gave me 20 horsepower, but it certainly pulls harder than it did with my K&N sitting in the enginebay 
Without data, I would guess a CAI would be horrible on hot days because it would suck in hot air that's been resting on 100 degree pavement all day. However, in the winter, it is a completely different story (obviously).
Anyways good pics Goonz. I should have taken more reference pics myself.

I had to chop the pipe in the bottom to raise the filter because it was sitting really really low..but that was also due to my air bypass vlave..that thing is sweet!

I should note that I have a prefectly sealed airbox. A short ram with no box, or just a shield, may not be very good at all: I have no data for that.

I will get some data on this...I will be datalogging with my new set up. I will have the intake in the engine bay and then later it will be out of the engine bay.
