wow

well i just finished my alta cai, with the hose. it looks great, it has a wonderful fit and finish. after taking it out for a test run i couldnt be happier. first was the intoxicating sound of the blower, and coming for a honda to forced induction has been great. Now with this it has opend the door for moding the s. As for power i felt a little kick in the ***, nothing outstanding given it only is an intake. cant wait for the next, and its going to be the 15% pulley. Also i would like to thank randy webb for his how-to help.
last. after removing the rear panel behind the air box, will there be issues with rain water through the cowl.
thanks,
tim

Nice one, I just fitted mine on Monday.

You may be surprised at the actual gains, I know I was. Even though I am a bit sceptical at the results myself, have a read of this:
