11/08/14 06:29 AM11/08/14 06:29 AM #3 I had the process west street airbox but have since gone turbo side. Combined with muffler delete you could definitely hear it. You can't beat turbo side if you want induction and flutter noise.

A number of standard auto FG XR6T's have been run at the dyno at MRC and all make in the low 230rwkw range. I ran mine today and it made 241 rwkw. My only mods are on the intake - I removed the intake muffler and hacked up the airbox, otherwise it's dead stock (aside from the COP CHIP, obviously).Here's some pics of my butchered airbox if you want any ideas. I've chopped a few up in my time and this seems to be the best way (leaving the ribbing in tact):
