i think the setup is pretty decent, its not touching the battery, theres eough room... nah i didn't install it myself, but i watched the guy install it for me, and it seemed pretty easy, btw, u have a rimm exhaust, and u said it has nice sound and some gain in hp... but loss of power at acceleration... you think the rimm exhaust and the intake will work good together?

Default Don't bet on it

Hey SPin, don't bet on those filters, I bet u none of the brands work, cuz I bought a INJEN filter to replace that Dragon filter and the engine light pops out.

Thanks for the pictures spinteews. There sure isn't much room to work under the RX's hood huh. I would like to have a strut tower brace - but there doesn't see to be any way to fit one from the stut towers.

everyday driving... YOU BET!!! hahah it just makes it much more fun i really like it, everytime i hear the tiny roar it just feels great hehe,

as for the strut bar, ya, theres aint much room to put one on, i was checking under my hood last time and me and my friend noticed theres a strut bar already, just that it seems way impossible to take it out and replace it with somethign else... i'll try to take some pics of it as soon as i can...
