Well, the black backing plate which is against the filter has a cone shaped piece which is supposed to funnel air. Does that count as an air straightener?
What have you done to your MS3 today?

No.. not really. I feel bad for it when i ran it threw the gears the other night. also trying to keep the miles low.
So how do you like the ride compared to stock? How is low speed damping? I'm seriously considering a set of H&R coils, but I DD my car and still want a good ride.
I installed my Progress RSB yesterday, and gave it a test run.
Here's my review:

it's noticeably stiffer than stock but not uncomfortable at all. only had a chance to drive it around the city and cruise the freeway a bit, but it seems perfectly fine for a DD. slightly more noise and vibration on rough pavement but again, nothing terrible. haven't had a chance to test it out in the curves, but that's coming soon! overall a stiffer and more planted feeling which is what i wanted. gonna write a full review once i get some more miles on them...
and that progress sway bar sounds nice! definitely on my list.

Air Straightener:
I put one of those in my MSCAI a couple three months ago. It's a bitchkitty to get to stay put in the position they recommend. The tubing is just a hair too big, so it wants to rotate. I'm afraid to use foreign material to pad it out as it is post filter and if any of it worked its way loose it could end up in the turbo or maybe even someplace further downstream.
I had to position the clamp just right to catch the straightener as well as the pipe and hose.

not to be confused with a hair straightener:
Of course, of course...

well since no one else wanted to reply, let me just say that looks damn clean for an 08. so how many miles are on it? i got an 8.5 with 30k+ and i know i need mine de-greased and de-grimed as well
haha thanks! I just hit the 30k mark myself. It's frustrating that my buddy has an '07 with 12k miles. Must be nice having no commute to work! Good luck with the de-griming!
