Thats just a filter not a CAI. Remember if you're doing the filter, you'd have to get a MAF adaptor as well.
CAI runs down into the fender.

yea i gettin the MAF adaptor from cyclops performance, and the origanal plan was to run pipein through the hole on the leftside of the car and place the intkae behind the bumper but was advised not 2 do that person said that i would be restricting performance rather than helping??? he said it would be better 2 leave it in the engine bay he said the longer the pipe less performance i would get....

boss who tell you that s*#t, i have a custom built cold air intake, the important thing is to keep the distance from the maf to the throttle body the same, and please use some polished aluminum piping(keeps the air at a cooler temperature)

i bought a brand called Simota from car boutique, fit perfectly (2003 familia wagon) went through the hole perfect. its a lil loud, but only at full throttle.
Cost was $1295 no vat (paid cash), took about 1 hr to remove stock box, move the resevoir and install the intake. straight bolt on
filter is surprisingly clean after abuot 2 months.
thinking about changing it to a APEXi filter.

^^^ Good to know. How much of a difference did it make performance wise?

below 60: not much
80-120: nice pull, felt alot smoother
above 140, didnt notice an improvement
still top out at 175 flat road (17"s)
if i catch a downhill, will past the 180 and hit the speed cut around 183

Car boutique is located in St. James. Just after the bridge that says Welcome to St. James . It is a few buildings down on the left hand side. It opens at 10:00am. Not sure of the number though.

^^^ Add headers and an exhaust system and then you should expect to see more gains. I am totally stock right now. As soon as I could I am gonna tackle the handling aspect then speed.
