Why are you concerned about if it’s connected to the firewall? I’m just curious.

I think it will put you in a different class for some track events. Paticularly autocross.

Take care,

That is the Mariah Low Profile K&N Filter Charger Kit necessary when installing their NACA Fiberglass Hood. I think it was around 130.00 plus or minus. You can check with them....at
http://www.mariahmotorsports.com

I don't have the exact k&N numbers but email me privetely at JoseReyes@msn.com and remaind me and I'll look it up on the box at home....

But mariah motorsports sells the complete kit.....That was my first upgrade waiting for my hood.....
