New K&N Air Intake - Am I doing it right?

What does it sound like? Any chance of you putting up some vids?

Hey there. It gave the car a really throaty sound even with a stock exhaust. Absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I no longer have the car but I'm thinking of doing the same upgrade to my current Miata. This was actually a kit you can find on ebay for about $80.

Ermm, don't really know of one offhand but it was really simple. Just taking out the stock airbox and replacing it with the cone filter over the Mass airflow sensor and it came with a bar to mount the filter in place. Then the hose was just routing it up. If I get another setup like this then I'll make a video.

Your intake looks neat, but it's pretty close to the extractors. A nice heat shield would really help. Do post a dyno sheet if your ever planing on getting one in the future. It would be nice to see how it compares to the factory air-box. I think the stock airbox is the same for a 1.6 & 1.8, so there should be a small improvement by getting rid of the stock airbox for the 1.8 motor.

I'm using a K&N filter with stock airbox, It's not really noticeable but from 4000-5500rpm it starts to pull a little bit on 1st and 2nd gear. I was going to get a Blower, but for now I have to settle for an intake to get my Ninja.
