Since Mazda had a brain fart when they made my intake for the Miata I had to make some shit up
I tried a cone filter instead of the air box
but this is what happened:
It's RIGHT NEXT (by like 2-3 inches) to the exhaust manifold, so it get's hot
I ceramic painted the head shield and that acutally helped out a whole lot.
But then the cone filter after time and heat droped to touching the heat sheild
needless to say it got REALLY hot.
and the guys where telling me that the stock air box gets colder air than a filter like I had cuz they did some tests.
so I took it up a level,
I got my factory airbox and ceramic painted THAT shit w/ some black paint (looks nice and stockish w/ a nice shine)
and I painted it a lot
When Omar get's his job I'll get a K&N drop in filter to help out w/ the crappy air flow
So that's the best I can get, they really fucked it up w/ my intake and it's more or less impossible to do something w/ it, it bends consticts and expands everywhere.
there aren't any good intakes (just one w/ an extra elbow instead of the air box)
and ONE K&N one that puts an air box kinda like the ones in the new MIVEC lancers (preatty good if u ask me but not worth the $300 price tag)
So what u guys say?? Better right? [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/confused.gif[/img]
