oh youre talking about doing this from the snorkel? screw that thing i took it out the week we got the car...

if you were to do anything i would recommend a dremel and dremel out the bottom of the airbox(but not extremely you will be able to see the lines to cut at). It is done on every single one of my play cars and it has the same results tested as an AEM in most situations, just a different deeper growl...drop in a stock K&N filter and viola top of the line intake without the flashiness!!

Can you prove the same output as a AEM?

I would remove the stock snorkel and attach my hose to there. Just making the point that the stock has bends in it. I would only have one bend in my set up.

why run it to the other side? is there something in the way of using the near side?
The radiator is in the way.

If I get my car running soon, since i have to swap to an open element anyways, ill get you some logs if you are truly interested. But if HondaLog can log it, i can just buy one of those and then slap a cone on there... but im trying to find the test results done on my car because they tried it before.

I've even done it on my snow mobile. and it is reported that if you open the holes too much then it will decrease horse power from the increased air flow. Same principle applies. I think i would rather have a steady stream of air going directly into the intake from one hole instead of something being completely open and sucking in from all directions...

or i am just me and i have absolutely no idea what i am talking about and talking out of my ass or something...
