R2C Intake Installed

Jordo!

Those shields need to seal to the hood to work, so it has to be a tight fit. What are the top edges made out of? Something hard or soft? If soft, I wouldn't worry about it.

You should definitely get a before and after dyno to verify it was worth it.

I'd consider replacing those filters with K&N's that have exposed filter area at top.

Some evidence they outperform the G3's... http://www.myg37.com/forums/intake-a...xflow-cai.html

R2C is actually a filter company first and foremost, which was a very serious consideration when I was shopping for intakes. This intake is one of only a few aftermarket products they have developed for consumer vehicles. I'm not sure I would even consider what you suggest without documentation on the potential benefits. Are you simply suggesting to use a cone filter that has more filter surface area? If you have a link to the filters you refer to, or a link with documentation, I'd be interested in looking.

Yep -- that's all. I'll post a link to the kind of filter I'm talking about.

Something like this --> RX-4870 - K&N Universal Air Filters, Universal X-Stream Clamp-On direct from K&N

It would give more surface area, as well as a draw-through facing the factory intake ducts.

May or may not make a difference.
