I really do like those. I'll have to add those to my list of possibilities.

The new filters came in. Here is a side by side shot of the black vs white.

Good point, man. Two months is plenty of time for the OP to evaluate whether or not it was worth the purchase. For that matter, so is two days.

Sorry for the delay, kind of forgot about this since I've been kind of busy lately. I installed the filters, cleaned the throttle bodies, and installed a grounding kit all in the same day. I did not notice any difference from the filters, and honestly I wouldn't suggest buying them unless you buy them with a new set of intakes. I have not noticed any difference in performance, from the intakes. The do look better in the engine bay than the white, but not worth $150.

And tbh I may be selling my R2C in the next couple of months for a true CAI. So if you were wanting a set just keep an eye out in the classifieds in the next coming months.

Ah, thanks for being so brave & honest.

So, Takeda or Stillen? Or... something else?

More than likely Takeda. It's a clean design, I don't have to cut the radiator support, and it's cheap enough (relatively speaking) that I can get it painted glossy black.

I think I would anyway. Get out the dremel tool and create a perfect fit to the bend in the rubber coupling, with sanded, rounded edges in the plastic. Maybe even line the opening with a teflon channel strip.

Seriously.

I may. I'll have to see how it fits before I commit to cutting the radiator support. It may not need it, and it may, I haven't really looked at the hole to see how big/small it is.

I just put a deposit down on a new (to me) daily driver so that I can focus a little more on modifying my G. Hopefully I will get it in the next couple of weeks.

Your image file link is a fail, Newt.

Would that be a Chrysler Cordoba you're trying to show off?
