Back to stock intake. Bye bye CGs.......
Got real tired of adjusting and re adjusting the CGS intake and assorted filters that just do not fit Iron Man properly. I know I would win if I keep fighting, but I have other things to do I grew tired of the blasted noise too.
I could buy yet another filter, but am cutting my losses.
At first it was not bad, but now that I put the stock intake back on, I can hear my signals again. I did not know what I was missing.
I like quiet in my cars. Perhaps I will now lose a little MPG and be unhappy about that, but I have nerve damage real bad in one ear and extraneous sound sometimes shut me down in bad ways. When I drive my convertible I usually wear earplugs these days
Anyway, I have a grocery getter and can live with that. The SS is coming out for those who want real performance.
So first the Imco came off ( after three days, I hated the sound )and finally the CGS.
I tried, I failed, I payed to play and went back to stock. It works for me, Other's like the add-ons and have a great time with them. As the cliché goes,
"It's all good!"
Now to wrap both up and get ready to send them to the guy who will email me in a few moments once he sees this post.
I see you are on now.....you know who you are.......
Actually I'm at work now. I just picked up some puffies to packthe CGS and Imco in.

You could try removing the stock air filter from inside the air box and replace it with a cone filter on the intake to the box. I bought mine from Pepboy's for about $10. It doesn't seem to add much if any noise and definitely allows the engine to breathe better. Between that and my canister muffler I am getting 40-43 MPG on the highway.

The cone fits in the wind hose?
