Jesus, I have no idea what retard even designed that pos intake. Why the hell would they have the filter go that way, right into the hottest part of the engine?! I am positive the stock unit is better than that set-up. If it's not a true intake that goes into the fender well, or sits close to the ground, then it isn't worth it IMO.
Ideal would be sticking out of the hood, retards have it go right next to the hot radiator and transmission. If you have a intake that rides a few inches from the ground you deserve to have your motor suck up water and seize. Every design is ****ed up, I got a small 4 inch air cleaner comming right off my turbo inlet, right next door to 1200 degrees and why? cuz I don't give a F U CK.
Even if you were lucky enough to gain 10wheel horsepower the ground dust picker upper/straw isn't worth the bull**** of cleaning filters every 5 days and risking sucking up water. A nice good filter provides more than enough power even above the exhaust. Cone Filters are very good. You want to shed heat get rid of the EGR tube that goes to the intake.
no it will not pass inspection... however you can acually leave the egr tube on there along with the vac lines and just put a quarter inbetween the head and egr sylinoid and about a week before you test take the quarter out so the pcm has time to clear...
