So for those of you familiar with the HRW intake, I put my own spin on it.
I cut the plastic piece that covers the top of the grille so that air coming through the grill can be sucked up into the stock snorkle, just like the HRW intake.
However I wasn't satisfied with the air coming in through the grille hitting the radiatore then going straight up into the snorkle, so I found an old piece from a chimeny flu that was made of thin sheet metal, cut it up and banged it flat. Then I gave it a smooth bend and cut it to fitone side under the grille one under the snorkle so that the air that comes in through the grille has a more serodynamic approach to the snorkle. I secured one corner of it under the washer for the grill on the driver's side.
No immediate signs or improvement but I just feel like it works better because the air doesnt have to bouce all around before it gets sucked in.
This was a very easy mod and was free. I suggest you all give it a try. I'll get pics up later.
