I am not sure where is the post ( I was searching for it, but couldn't find it).. but anyway, the link to the How-to is here The Stealth C.A.I.. I just want to express my appreciation to BlazingCopper_ZX3 who came out with this brilliant idea.
I would like to note one thing. It does make the job a lot a lot easier by removing the front wheel and the splash guard.
Today (I felt very lazy) I was trying to do this without even jacking up the car and removing any thing. Everything went quite well until I have to unscrew the stock airbox. I was skinny enough to crawl under the car (phew) without jacking up the car. But I realized that there wasn't enough space for me to uncrew the nut which was holding the box on the side. But I was still too lazy to do anything.. tried to unscrew the nut for a very long time.. I think I spent almost 20mins to unscrew it due to lacking of space.. later, I was able to unscrew the nut and pull out the box. There wasn't enough space to take the box out from under. so at last, I jacked the car up and unscrew one side of the splash guard and kinda force the box out.. hehehe.. luckily nothing was broken or bent.. hehehe
Well, after I remove the box and the intake pipe, I was shocked!!.. the pipe is so so so long and noting the position of the pipe, discovered that the air was actually draw from under the wiper!!.. gee.. how much air can actually do through there..
So I am really glad and happy to have change the intake.. :)
