Most likely it wont be a power gainer but it does add sound for a nice effect.

Also some people were talking about why there wasnt an open air element if it makes more power. Well just like the stock exhaust its quiet

Interesting......dirt collects around the ridges does not necessarily mean that the ridges were designed to collect dirt.

Sounds pathetic. Just tried it. Not sure if the f-sport intake is just as horrible or not. Am now afraid of spending 330 bucks.

None...

It just makes it louder so you don't "need" to drill any.

After I saw this thread I decided to do this.

After seeing the F box I drilled a hole the same size. And I dremeled off all the ridges so now it is smooth.

Ps: took me 2 hours haha
