Where was the mic installed for that video?

I think most people will want to know what it sounds like with the original filter housing rather than eventuri. At least that’s what I’m excited to hear…

For those interested in sound, this paired with the eventuri is a 1:1 match to the CSL Replica!!!

Use headphones, bear in mind the CSL replica is my car, and it had Remus Exhaust, so the deeper overall tone is the exhaust.

Supposedly mine is coming tomorrow. Currently working on swapping the front O2 sensors and cursing that they are deep in there, but should be ready to move on to installing this over the weekend.
Have the CSL SMG fluid expansion tank and bracket here and ready too.

Getting excited

///MBan when do you think you’ll get around to installing this.

I received the email from Karb but would like to get your impressions before I pull the trigger if possible.

The missing part is on its way. If it travels as fast as the plenum did, I should have it mid-next week and install next weekend.

There is a guy in Europe (Germany, I think) whose plenum shipped last week so he will hopefully install before me and will be able to provide impressions too.

It looks pretty similar, but you'd need to get them side by side to check. By the way, the two pieces are bonded together on the new plenum, so you can't separate them like you can with the CSL intake.

Ah damn, yup I see that now in the pictures too, no screws. Functionality it makes sense, having an air leak there, past the MAF, would be bad.

Am curious, the main body part of the plenum, the part that stays on when you take the elbow side off, is it the same as the regular CSL airbox?

This is a great idea. Feels like a shame to hit it with Plasti-dip . . . but visual inspection can be a bummer.

Would Plasti dip survive engine temps?

Could you have it wrapped in matte black? Then at least you can take it off again.

Same as above not sure if there is a wrap that would survive engine bay temps

hmm i wonder if we can request to paint the box flat black, to make it look like the stock airbox, mainly for CA things...
