    two things seem to be missing the extra cold air feed and the heat shield.

    that thing needs cold air and it needs protecting from the warm air.

    when I had one I ran a pipe from under the car to the filter and I dremmel'd the plastic plate where a spot light would go and ran another pipe.

    worked really well.

    Absolutely point less if you ask me..
    No cold air going in.. More noise..

    The air box used cold air - the more cold air the denser the volume - more volume the better air quality going throught the Air Mass Meter - the better the mixture - the better the performance - you would have been better off with the K&N Panel filter..
    Remember the Poly-V belt when wet sprays water everywhere - take a look at the dirty on your bonnet..
    If these were any good VX would fit them to all there cars..
    You would have been better fitting four prong plugs for a better burn..
    Bet you pop your Air Mass Meter...

    Doh!
