do you notice any difference aside from the thinner wallet? is that an invisible Cold-air box?

I have not driven it yet. Some Yard Sale money bought the tube, I figured what the hell and the filter was only $73.

Liked the pics in your gallery,except for all the filter companies pop-ups,coincidence? I have a small dent just forward of yours. Like it! Did you use the 4 or 4.5 inlet size and where did you get the tube? I could use more air blowing inside even if it is 105 around here in the summer!!!

So, what were the differences you noticed when you drove it?

Jeremy, maybe its my imagination, but I could swear that this van turbo spools just as quick as the stock one did(Spearco CAC helped with that). My cruising EGTs at 70mph on level ground with cruise is 700 degrees. It takes about a minute and a half at idle to get to 300 degrees. Normally, that would take 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Of coarse, it was mid-80s ambient toady, that would have helped. I'm going to hook-up with Alan one of these days and have him hook-up his AE so we can get some good data.
