i understand what you are saying but the car feels stronger now than it did with the drop ins and maf tubes even though im still using the maf tubes.it is a very smooth air transition inside the pipes.the aluminum pipe is very thin and i sanded the maf tubes down to an angle to eliminate turbulance.car felt so strong tonight in 65 ambient,i really dont see the need to go further with the mods even though i will.

i will say this.for those people that are running the typhoons,i would be angling the filter down as far away as i could from the top of the hood by loosening the connection by the tb's and angling the metal tubes inwards to drop the filter further away from the hood where heat gathers at idle if thats even possible.when i dropped my filters as far as i could,my gas mileage is staying around 21.6 with very spirited driving.anyway,im just in testing phases to see what positioning of the air filter works best under the hood.and so far,the gen 2 makes more sense according to my butt dyno and the cars computer.

edit: im keeping my setup.
