I just installed the Kappasphere cold air intake on my sky. Below are some before and after pictures. Here are some details and some things I would like to discuss.
1. Installation was simple! Anyone can do it (make sure you pick up the T30 Torx screwdriver that the installation guide mentions).
2. The new sound is great. When I pass someone, now my Sky growls at them.
3. Over 3,000 RPM the acceleration is improved. It encourages you to use the entire RPM range. Below 3,000 RPM the engine doesn't get-up that it used to. I expected this, but... what are some things I can do to improve this?
4. Ventilation. Where the air filter sits does not get any direct ventilation from the front of the car. The honeycomb grill that is just in front of the filter is closed off. Where I live it gets hot (really hot) and it gets pretty hot under the hood too. Is it a good idea to drill open some of those honeycombs to let some cool air through? Has anyone done this yet?
