Because of NA, I suppose? With forced induction, the air gets pulled so the lack of restriction is beneficial.

I wanted to see if this setup offers any benefit beyond the increased noise. If there is none, then the snorkel will go back in. 😬 Any MPG gain isn't worth the change in how it drives. I wonder if the cone filter in the CS setup works as the narrow passage way (enclosed chamber) to reduce...

Got it! I don't know much of the science behind all this and have to try and find out. 😁

I took it out and the car performs differently. The stock box is still in there with the panel filter and taking loose air straight from a large hole. I suppose the narrow and curved inlet passage helps getting air ready for use? Not sure if the temp made the difference. 🤔 Perhaps I need to wait...

Also added the quick-disconnect for the negative terminal. It is basically two pieces connected together by the green knob. There's a plastic barrier between the two pieces. When the knob is off, ground is disconnected. They are tight as of now, but I will need to recheck. When the knob is off...

Today I removed the inlet parts of the intake. Will see what difference it makes beyond sound/noise. The rubber tube from TB to MAF has become harder to remove. It used to be easy, now I have to pry and push with two hands. Don't want to use a flathead yet. There are a couple of reasons why I...

I was considering the CorkSport SRI for my CX-3 and have decided to hold off while I experiment with the stock box without inlet snorkel and resonator. Would have deleted this post but will edit it instead when I am ready to pursue further. 😁

It works well on wood puzzles too. I would color the bare sheets before brushing oil on. Update: During email exchanges over a recent UOA, it occurred to me that these puzzles/models are better off at an oil lab. 😁 Shipped the few intact ones off today. Also ordered two models that I haven't...

This piece of tree trunk has been out there for maybe decades. You can tell that the bottom is white-greyish.

Here's a new 2*4 on the left that has been left exposed for one year. The two pieces on the right have been kept inside. Both got one coat.
