APC filter, a little 3" PVC, and for right now a little duct tape :)

Definitely a big gain on the top end... up until now I've never gotten the car up to 110, last night I did it twice, and it took about the same amount of time as it took to get to 103-105 before.

When I first swapped, the car ran like ass, didn't wanna idle and threw up a check engine light. It was way low on torque too.

Disconnected battery, reconnected... the torque came back, and no more codes :). Also sounds awesome! Still seems like there is less torque than before, but once it gets higher in the RPM range it really pulls, as to where before it was just pretty even.... when it upshifts I can really feel the loss in power - was much "smoother" before, but definitely less top end.

I may spring for an AEM filter, I've had this APC filter before and its not exactly the cats meow, serves its purpose for a few months but just doesn't last.

The filter is tucked right next to the drivers headlight. There is a short length of 3" PVC to where the MAF plugs into, then the 3" pvc is coupled with the stock tubing from that point. Works great, very happy with the results!
