Default Who knew...

that when the warm air intake control box breaks in an accident, and you completely remove all of that crap since it was 99% broken from said accident, that the NF kinda sounds like it has a cold-air-intake on it...Interesting. I hadn't driven the 5kq in so long, that I was like "man, I SWEAR this thing is louder than it used to be..." Then I realized that the control box, ducting, etc was no longer on the car, providing very little noise cancelling, and basically allowing the (new) air filter to breathe through a "milkshake" straw, and not a "coffee stirrer" straw...

Also, if you haven't clay-bar'd and waxed your car, do so. Makes the paint smoooooooooooth.

Its now 5min til 3am here.

That is all.

Shoot me some pics on that. I'd really like to do that to my 10V car.

Thanks,
Chris

Default yep, exactly how I have mine...

Sound really nice, at first I actually took that whole cover off and wired the airfilter on. That was really loud and didnt do much performance wise, so I put it back on.

isn't that just letting more hot air into your system?

Default Re: isn't that just letting more hot air into your system?

My other option was to spend more money and place a part that isn't really needed IME (been running the CQ w/out that system for around 4yrs now, no ill effects). I'll eventually run a duct from the opening to the grille. Only time it'll pull warm/hot air in is when stopped at a light. I didn't notice any adverse affects, and to me it seems like the cars better to redline now. Maybe I'm just imagining things...
