Default The intake path in the S4 has been seriously overlooked.....

I think a lot can be gained here if done properly. Look at Blitz's car with custom airbox and front mounted intercooler. My own dyno testing revealed insufficient intake with ABT chip and Milltek exhaust when I had K03's. Since I'm now running a stage 3 system, I'm going to focus any further efforts on the intake system. It is just plain common sense.

Default Sorry guys, someone was borrowing my digital camera, but here is what the filter looks like...

From ITG's web page, here is the filter I am using:

<img src="http://www.itgairfilters.com/images/img_MaxJC60.jpg">

This filter's spec is the same length (e) as the ITG in the S-flo, and same width (c) at the BOTTOM, however the S-flo filter slopes to a smaller diameter (d) at the top, and that is the difference (sort of like this, but it's not the right pic):

Here is my setup, it's a different filter then what Darin used it appears.. But mine is darn near the sides already.

And my hold, Darin can shed some light how he made his hole.

Let me rephrase, not my setup as it's in my closet, but this is what mine looked like.
