Has anyone bypassed their standard airbox with a cold air intake / conical filter? Doesn't look like there's much room past the Mass Airflow Sensor. Maybe removing the airbox and sticking it into that space?
I think there is no better place other than the original. I put K&N conical filter(with end cap) on my car. I took the plastic airbox out(hoping that the car breath easier) and sticking the filter in the original place and also have to modify the filter inlet a bit to fit. My filter is a bit larger than BMC (maybe 20% more surface area).BeeYouZeeZee said:Has anyone bypassed their standard airbox with a cold air intake / conical filter?

Did you notice an improvement? Did the intake get loud under power?pganmol said:I think there is no better place other than the original. I put K&N conical filter(with end cap) on my car.

How about your viper, did you feel any improvement when you change air filter?BeeYouZeeZee said:Did you notice an improvement? Did the intake get loud under power?
Thanks for the advice. I think I have insulate tape somewhere in the houseFormulaDynamics said:One thing you can do ( especially for people in warm climate areas ) is to simply wrap your existing intake / ducting with a material which blocks heat. The Maserati engine suffers from significant "heat soak" which robs you of real horsepower when the engine temperatures heat up the air and fuel before combustion.
