Well, I try not to hijack this thread too much, but my plan eventually is to run Fabspeed headers and their cat delete pipes while keeping the muffler stock. I think this will give me enough of a bump in the noise level while also giving a bump in hp. I don't want anything crazy loud, but if it's still not loud enough then I'll swap out the stock muffler and probably go to a Stebro sport system. Nobody on here has the fabspeed headers because they cost so much, but they seem to be the way to go.

Cool

My 98 Box had a cup. Other than navigating the silly keepers of the air intakes, this is a quick job with immediate results. I get a smile at every stop light/sign that I can go from 1st-3rd and hear the growl. Too easy not to do!

I have an evo intake and love it, except I get a cel from time to time when the air filter fouls the maf. Thanks to someone here on the forum, I found a company called AEM. They make dry conical filters. Popped one into my evo and now I have the best of all worlds. Just food for thought.

I think I'm going to desnorkal my car this weekend. After reading these threads it seems easy and worth doing. I just have one question, if for some reason I don't like the new louder sound with the snorkal out, is it difficult to re-install it?

Thanks

Nope, it's easy to reinstall. It pops right back in. However, I doubt you'll want to after hearing the sound improvement once over 4000 rpms.
