Now thats something that I wouldn't mind puttin under my hood!

 

As good as it looks the air flow is the true benefit. Notice that there are no joints or seams from the filter to the T/B. The new MAF diameter is right at 96mm. No joints or seams inside the tube either.

 

Lookin' mighty sweet sir

How did you support the filter end of it ???

 

No flame here... those cars are ****in sick!!!!!

 

im not flaming u, but i like the Evo 8 better , just preference i guess. besides reprogram the computer and u'll get 300 hp, saw it in an auto week not to long ago.

 

Support holes from the stock filter box

Are the three ports provided on the underside?

Rob, for the support I made a cradle that the rubber portion of the filter sits on. It has 2 legs that mount into the stock rubber grommets. The cool part is you can't see it. It looks like the pipe is just floating out there.

Actually I was ready to buy the Evo until I saw the STi. The Evo is kind of narrow and long looking (sleek). The STi looks like a muscle bound bull dog. Both nice cars. Local guy here ran his bone stock STi 13.1 @ 106mph. Less than 1k miles and street tires. Looking forward to a new avenue of speed.

LightninRod, it has all the PCV connections and vacuum tube on the bottom. The MAF electronics mount directly to it, the IAC probe mounts directly to it, and the three tubes on the bottom near the T/B mount to it. It's pretty steathy so none of it shows.

 

Nice stuff I am glad I have one that has to sit on the shelf! Did you notice any gains at all

 

how does it flex with the engine ?

 

hslightnin,
It's mounted in rubber. You would have to see the support bracket to understand. It has the ability to flex with the motor no problem.

 

Does the mass air mount allow for any brand or size of mass air meter? What are you using with it?

Taken from BAbolt

 

The pipe itself is the mass air tube. The factory electronics with hot wire are simply bolted up to it. You could use the electronics off of a Pro-M meter but I don't see any reason why.

 

I guess I just don't understand how the mass air system works. Give me a few days and I'll try to figure it out.

 

Does the custom filter support bracket come with the pipe?
Looks awesome!
