Re: [DML] Upgrading the Air Filter?




John & Dave,
When I switched over to this air box I also converted over to a custom made
stainless steel free flow muffler on my car, so I did in effect go at both
sides of the system. However I never actually drove my car before all of
this because the engine came in a box. I have had a couple people who have
driven other automatics say that mine is a bit quicker than they have seen
but I have nothing to compare it to.

Mike
