I went to advance autoparts and they had crappy APC filters all already opened. Where online can I find the Spectre filter you used?

Also, have you had any CEL's after installing?

Edit: My boost gauge doesnt jump past 10 as quickly as yours does in the video. Did it do that before you installed the filter?

Talk about turning peoples heads, the car sounds like a mini from Italian Job
Butt dyno says def more power, car is chiping and screetching everywhere now

Enjoy:
Now the fun starts, Basically you need to get your stock airbox our of the car, it is located DS in front of the wheel, you have to remove 2 push pins, and 7-8 7mm screws and then you can bend back the splash guard. Now this must be done after removing the DS front wheel.
Once the splash guard is moved then you go in and remove 3 nuts holding the airbox on and loosen the upper clamp in the engine bay where the intake mates to the TB adaptor pipe.

Disconnect the MAF line(1 electricl connector) and then you take your time removing the box(will take some twists and contortions) you also have to pop 1 harness grommet retainer but this is simple)


Installing and measuring, once it is out and you have the air filter(BTW the filter is a spectre Universal pt number 8138) this filter has adaptor rings to mate it to 3", 3.5" or 4", you will use all adaptors to mate it to the 3.15"stock opening, here is the only real tricky part, you need to put the 3" adaptor on the stock box(the pic below shows the 3" adaptor already on), trim the outer lip off a little since the stock lip is slightly larger than 3" with an xacto knife then the rest of the filter adaptors slide on no problem


Filter with adaptor rings



Installed Filter, you drill one small hole even with the location of the clamp I used a 1/4" bit and a slim flathead to get in there, and with a flash light in the snorkel for light the clamp shows up fine, once tight it is reversal of removal! Enjoy!
(HOLE LOCATION)


Installed Filter 2


Finished and installed back in the car


Installed ! Now the fun can start! Great thing is only mod to the air box was 1 small hole drilled in the funnel for screwdriver access


I have a video with sound but have not had a chance to upload it, tomorrow.. it is loud

EDIT:Aww heck here it is

I disconnected the battery after that as well and even pulled the pcm and ecm fuses but it still came back. Im i gonna have to get a tune as well?
