FINALLY had time to finish custom CAI... look inside!!!
ok before anybody disses my piping just remember intercoolers use the same damn piping as i used so dont give me any crap about how its soaking up hot air cause i believe that air is moving way to fast for the piping to heat it up... here ya go tell me what you think.. also im not entirely done i still have to take the brake ducting and remold it to where it will still have an underside where that part of the fender is to keep the filter out of the elements and protect it from other stuff but thats later not today
the engine bay from a distance:
a close up:
as you can see the filter thru the brake ducting:

Excellent. I thought on account of the pop ups that you couldn't follow that route. I can't remember all that much admittingly. With my East Bear Headlights I am able to allow tons of passage with my soon to be Installed GReddy FMIC Kit and an air Induct ending to the Brake Duct.
I don't suppose you have any pics with the Bumper off, do you?

in order for water to sucked into that filter it has to be at least 2/3rds under water. even then it will only be a fine mist of water, sorta like a aquamist kit. all you people dont need to worry about water getting in.

looks good - nice and simple. the ultimate would be to take off the TB adapter, trace the outline and make the holes for a template. then drop it off to a local machine shop and have them fab you a nice thick adapter with the correct size hole. then bring it to any local exhaust place with the piping you'll be using and have some pipe welded and bingo, no more plastic in the intake. I've always wanted to do this but now I have a TII motor with a GReddy FMIC

Fantastic work man...I like it. How does it sound...is it very loud to you. How is the top end...that's some pretty long *** piping , I'm sure the mid range and low is pretty damn nice. Anyway great work man; keep it up!

Yes, I would be VERY interested in a write up. I definitely plan on doing something very similar to what you've done on my future rx-7 (next week perhaps).
