I know that you're not allowed more than 1 intake modification by EPA But I know also that you cannot move your AFM (I know that you havn't) but, it states that airflow meters may be relocated, provided they are functionally equivalent and are in the same approximate location. Obviously for EPA, you would just put a smaller pipe where you relocated your afm, and whack on your stock airbox and afm back to normal position I'm thinking of doing this but I might make a new pipe to my throttle body to fit my afm instead of cutting my current pipping. Good write up mate

how much does the ammount of boost affect the loud ness of the dose? i got a big turbo with low boost, 4in 45degree pipe(topmounted) and 4in pod on it, and its quite woofy, and with out the pod it sounds weak like a qirls car lol..

Good write up mate good thinking man i got canaried and epa'd for not having an air filter (i just had mesh on my dose pipe) and to get it cleared i just put the standard intake stuff on, but left the afm in the piping and it was passed.. i dunno if that would be the case every day but it worked for me...
