Not sure what intake that is, but the open air filter is not good for performance, it may produce additional sound
but that's about it... Personally I would return to the factory air box and inlet snorkel, for better performance.

Good for maximum heat soak. And being so dirty, can't be helping flow. You might want to get the brakes flashed and pressure bled sooner than later too.

So the stock intake has an intake air tube drawing air from the front grill, whereas the cone style is drawing air from the engine bay. Given that it's straight from the engine bay the intake air temperatures will be higher because of the heat from the engine warming up the air surrounding the intake and etc.

^^ thanks! Saved me some typing...

What we know about these engines is they dump timing (i.e. pull back ignition advance) pretty quickly as the ambient air temp and or heat soak increases which directly relates to reduced power output as the ECU is all about protecting the engine from spark knock.

They hold the corners of the bumper in place. I have the same issue. My corners flare out because they can't be attached to anything.

Is that a hood wrap in black? Can you post more pictures of it. I'm trying to figure out if I should wrap or paint my hood.
