2013 Rules and Air Intake Question

Post by modifiede30 » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:01 am

The engine modification worksheet has 2 locations that reference the intake and air filters.

One question asks if you have a non factor trim/modified air intake before the TB
Another question asks if you're using a non-factory air/fuel filter

I have installed a cone filter in place of my air box and stock air filter - which one applies?

Air filters are free, however once you touch the airbox I think most would argue that you have modified the air-intake.

I figured that would be the case but found the 2 options a little confusing based on how they're worded.

You can always go to a high flow drop-in filter that works with the stock air box, it will save a point that you might want to reallocate to something else. I'm considering that option myself :)

Yeah, that's definitely something I'm going to consider - every point counts now.
