I'm not sure what the dyno numbers are, but I can attest to at least a little gain. The best part of this mod by far is the sound. It sounds absolutely awesome!

All for about $35 worth of parts at Lowes or Home Depot and a couple hours of your time.

Im not so much concerned about the sound but the hp gain because im going to put one hell of an exaust on. Im just wondering if I should buy an evo cold air intake or go with this DIY.

I did this mod last night.. it is very tight quarters by far to work in. I have not noticed any sound difference to be honest but then again.. i didn't drive it as it has no seats in the car i am awaiting to re-finish my seats then i will take it for a drive.....Also i am having a friend do the muffler mod with the bypass pipes on it like the one on pedro's site.. He has great mods on his site

I couldn't tell in Pedro's post on his website but is the old airbox re-installed or is he using a cone filter? I'm thinking of giving this DIY a try. I've already De-snorkled.
