That ar box looks awesome, but its going to be in the fender well anyway and it will not be seen! I opted for a spectrum K&N style extreme air filter with the top end open for air suction as an alternative. It is very large and runs from the inner well to the outer well, it just fits inside the fender well and almost touches on both sides. This was bought at autozone for 35.99 and I had a 3" stainless 4" long pipe laying around. I made my entire set-up for 40.00 bucks and it sounds awesome! You can really hear the turbo and bpv and suction noise now :-) It definetely seemed to open up the mid to top end performance and seems to just keep pulling high up into the rpm band.
From what I have seen and read, this style 3" intake is good to about 450bhp, after that you might want a 4" inlet pipe with monster cone extreme open air filter in the fender well. The fender well is pretty well sealed and I feel its a great air box! Besides the 7-10bhp, the sound is very nice in my opinion. Good Luck, John
