I'm dangerous now! Installed drop in K&N filter

[Jason94Cobra]

I am also going to install a modified lower air box in the car to see how she responds to it...

I basically drilled a lot of holes in the side of the box that faces away from the engine... I am now thinking that I am going to make a fiberglass extension on that side that will duct air right from the same hole the CAI's install into.

Will keep posted if I get that done and post pics... just for kicks mostly, but it might be a cheap way to gain a couple more HP without actually dropping mad money on the CAI if you already have the drop in K&N panel.

[Kain]

You're dangerous. And foolish. And that makes you even more dangerous.

how does a speed sound with a new replacement filter and hacked airbox?

 

[Jason94Cobra]

My stock air box is still intact and on the car, the modified one is an extra I picked up in San Antonio...

I need to leave this car alone it is just supposed to get me to work and back... somehow that is starting to slip away though...

A mod is a mod. At least you used a new box.

Doesnt the MSP have that little "Callaway" elbow already? just extend that to the CAI hole...

 

[Jason94Cobra]

ghetto.

Hmmmm, the car doesn't sound any different to me, but then I haven't installed the hacked air box yet... I can say the car feels a little less sluggish than with the original paper filter though...

The MSP is a slow car from the get go, it however does have some REALLY nice features for the price I paid... $16,600 new with tint.

I wouldn't have paid $21,000 for it which is what the MSRP is on the sticker...

I also didn't feel the need to spend $200 on a cold air intake that will still make this car a 15 second ride...

If I want to go "fast" I'll take the Cobra out for the day... (she's all stock engine-wise) for a nice handling little ride that gets better than 15 mpg I take the MSP to work...

The MSP box that I am working on is also something that won't be a cookie cutter piece that everyone can go buy and drop in their car like all the other nice little bolt on parts that anyone can get. I don't find much fun in that. This project was just to see what can be done to impriove the stock components with very little cost, just my time and a few cheap raw materials.

Ghetto? I think not... candy orange with gold flake reminds me more of the ghetto than a drilled airbox and K&N. (Don't get me wrong, I like the orange)

I like being different...
