To answer the other questions, yes it runs excellently. You really have to make sure everything is well sealed. How it was setup in the pic it leaked a bit after the MAF and made it run shitty. Went through the whole system today and sealed it and now it runs awesome ! Definatly more throttle response, honestly, its not a huge power upgrade, but it gives me peace of mind that i will not have any issues with intake as im planning on running 13lbs boost, these are just mods leading up to the intercooler/MBC.
Also, in the picture the filter isnt pushed all the way into the fender, the filter is 100% in the fender now. You have to have it positioned just so or else it will hit the tire under suspension compression![]()
As for whoever said it is poorly done (quoted above), i still dont understand how. Because the piping isnt overpriced stainless ? There is honestly no benefit i can see of stainless, other then the fact that it looks pretty. Itll hold pressure fine, There is only one connection that isnt rubber, which is siliconed and holds air fine. At first glance people may think its a "hack job" because it doesnt look pretty. I couldnt care less for looks, if i cared about looks i wouldnt have bought a legacyAll business, all performance, thanks for the feedback
Take off the top cover, take the filter out, and theres a gold ring that the MAF screws intojoeWM wrote:Oh, what part of the stock airbox is it from?joshm wrote:Wasnt hooked up in the pic.

BPV is on, read up. It was off in the pics, wanted to see how it ran.RJ93SS wrote:that setup has to run like shit, hook up you bpv man, i took off mine just to try it, ran like shit, also an elbow right before your maf, no good to much turbulence for a proper reading
I'll cover this one...joeWM wrote:

As far as im concerned, aesthetics dont matter, im all about functionality. If i wanted something aesthetically pleasing, i wouldnt have boughten a legacyPhilSine wrote:I'll cover this one...joeWM wrote:

It's poorly executed because it looks like you handed a blind man a sawzall and tried to describe to him where you wanted the hole cut.
If you're happy with it and like how it functions then that's all that really matters. Keep in mind that you did ask for opinions so please don't take it personally when you get some that you're not in love with.
If you're doing heavy mods then sometimes you have to sacrifice appearance for functionality. When that happens, it is not unusual for some to simply overlook the aesthetic imperfections.
When you do a simple mod and it looks bad there is little defense for it. Friends don't let friends hack in a CAI.
Yea, its just as loud with the new filter anyways. I ran it for a bit with the BPV venting and it ran awfulRJ93SS wrote:i see your elbow is close to stock, but would be better after a straight piece of pipe, like if you cut another hole in your fender to eliminate the elbow, i'm glad you hooked your bpv uo though.
