just buy a quality filter and take the bottom off your intake and use another method to keep the filter secure.

probably 5whp or less.. but thats not bad for $5. if you really want to get an extra pony or two i would heat wrap the entire stock plastic intake tube, then do the ABM.

i doubt that would do alot to be honest.
the intake doesnt even get warm on hard runs.

not to mention heatwrapping that entire thing would be quite expensive.

That's what I did; 14" zip ties FTW! No one can see it unless the car's on a lift anyway.

I freaking LOVE the sound, but I believe I also saw decent gains at the track (in trap speed), though since I didn't run both setups the same night, I pretty much won't have any credibility if I state my gains. I'd do it and save the rest of the cash for something else!

Edit - My car was a Stage 2 when I did this mod.

This was the first thing I did to my car. I dropped a solid .3 in the quarter. Similar weather conditions on both nights.

uhhhh.....

.3 in the 1/4 mile?
I'm sorry but that is extreamly hard to believe. Maybe you just drove a lot better when you went back to the track..

yeah im sorry, but maybe 5 horsepower will not drop you .3 in the quarter mile. How can you even compare any two single runs? so many factors go into your track times
