Thanks to morgan (PSIFED) made a custom air intake with dose pipe
Using a stock airbox with piping down to a split dose/air splitter with a 3inch silicon joiner for the 3540, nice flutter now
Bottom of the airbox is cut out for more flow ect, at least now it looks kind of legal

if ur gonna keep the standard height they will look too small, it would look sick slapped on fr18s, take a look at RJB-223's white s/l, thing is slapped on fr18s and looks great

18-09-10, 13:01 GMT+10#11 Hey dude.. car looks great!
Who made the surge tank??
i like it alot!!
also regarding your half cage i was told by a mechanic/engineer that with a half cage bolt in, he would have engineered it & rwc'd my car if i had put a plate on the inside of the boot, on the bottom of the parcel shelf, therefore the parcel shelf being kind of sandwhiched in...
and et mickey t's i think people run them around 18psi on the street... or there abouts.. not 100% though so don't quote me on that.

18-09-10, 13:41 GMT+10#12 yeah thats the only thing holding me back with a cage, if i get done..im f$cked.

Made the power on 21psi just waiting to get my msd blaster box and colis to up it to 27pounds
