I noticed a definite difference ..but the filter I replaced was a very old Apexi cone filter which was absolutely filthy! Fitting the Type-S made a difference to [the sound of] my car! :lol:

I removed my resonator box without removing the wheel just by putting full lock on to the right but I can imagine it would be a lot easier if you did remove the wheel :P

I think I did as well actually, but I'm sure the 'proper' way is to make some space first :lol:

I removed mine with the bumper off a long time ago. Then you can actually see what you're doing and can sit on a stool :old: :lol:

If you want a cold air feed have one, cold air is better for the engine but you should make sure your intake is insulated otherwise the air will get warmed up before it gets to your engine, I used some heat wrap I got off some gas engineers on a site and they gave me this metal heat resistant sticky tape to tape it all up, I think it helps but not really for power I only really did it to keep the engine healthy
