3", i need another filter, the vato zone filter sucks

they sell k and n ones at auto zone/checkers dont they? i wanted to buy the hks filter cause it wouldnt be hitting so much of the headlight.

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

mine doesnt touch the headlight

mmm, get the Apex'i filter....tested to be the bestest evar =)

no really seemed to have best flow out of all filters along with filter life and cleaning abilitiy, I heard the HKS mushroom style had great flow but let a decent amount of particles through.

Ya, the APEXi filter is the best. It's got a funnel and a horn in it, plus it's supposed to filter the best too. I tried to get one, but the adaptor to connect to my AFM was too big. I'll have to shorten my intake first.

not really any reason to, that area has fairly cool air, im gonna take the drivers side headlight out next time i go to the track.

I know this is an old thread revisited... but looking at those pictures shouldn't getting the auto tranny SRI be the same thing for those who haven't already purchased the manual SRI?

U should run a pipe from the fender well to the filter and then box the area in with a heat shield.

What's the deal with the FS throttle body? How does the intake/TB/manifold all work there. It's hard to see in that picture, but does something make a 90 degree turn there? Anyone got a pic of the intake/tb/manifold?

I know you probably wouldn't feel the difference but is there a difference if you do this? What is a good material to make a heat shield with?

I did that too a few months back. Turned my sri to sit behind the headlight. Kinda ghetto right now but works better. The pipe stays cooler and plus I don't have any weather stripping since i have a carbon hood. Air gets in better. Noticed the throttle response is a bit better, sound is louder, and less heat soak from the radiator = cooler air. My car doesnt feel bogged down after some time in the heat/traffic.

Thanks man. Hmmm, looks like the 3rd gen is dying for a battery relocation.

The automatic version of the short ram is a lot shorter. It doesn't reach over to the left of the engine bay as far. Here's an old pic of my engine bay:
