air intake idea, probably a repost
I put in a cone filter tonight. It was a real expensive one...$5. Anyway...instead of just taking out my stock filter and putting the new cone in it's place, I left all the pieces of the stock filter on except the bottom clam piece and obviously the filter itself. My theory is that if there is any kind of forced air coming into there via the stock setup, if I leave the top on there it will put it near the new filter, also keeping the hotter air on the top of the engine compartment away from the filter. I'm sure 99% of you are laughing as you read this, cause I'm kind of laughing that I actually did this. In fact, I don't even remember the point of this except that my butt dyno says that there were 0 gains in HP from this mod. It almost felt negative. Comments?

There was a test on how restrictive the stock intake boxes were and in that test the FC had the most restrictive air box compared to other 4 cylinder cars including a honda civic.
