Ok I'm new to the site and new to little cars in general. So I bought a 2010 MS3 and I believe the prevision owner just rigged a Spectre air filter in to replace the OEM air intake. The reason I think this is the entire air box is missing (no mounting brakes for the spectre system), the filter is smashed up against the fIMG_2453.JPGIMG_2453.JPGender well and Spectre dose not even list a air intake system for my car. Also from looking at other pictures it seems as if other shrouds had been taken off of it. So to my question am I correct what would be a correct cold air intake for it? If been looking at the Cork Sport stuff and a lot of people seem to like it as well. Any helps is appreciated.

Looks like a POS, I would look into a totally replacement of the intact system and I prefer a SRI in lieu of the CAI. There has been some amatuer R&D to look at temps for SRI vs CAI and there is not much difference.

As far as SRIs are concerned there are several out there, CS, CPE, Sure (Street Unit), etc. Do a little research and get one. I would suggest replacing the intake system all the way to the turbo inlet.
