You should pull the baffle box in the inner passenger fender while you are at it. Do a search for 'snorkle removal' for directions... here or NASIOC.
You will get as much from this as a CAI and it will cost you 1/4 the $ and look completely stock to the five-o's eyes!

the typhoon works well without messing up maf readings causing"lean" like others such as AEM which is the worst intake for subies!...i had it but also had heatsoak and ****ty filtering..so i went back to stock...errr the rpms did climb faster and felt better up top but may have lost alittle dwn low

I would do yourself and your car a favor and keep the stock
airbox.A K/N panel air filter will flow more CFM's than the stock
air filter though.
