i bet your car is not making more HP, perhaps a bit less. when summer comes around, it will make significantly less HP because of all the hot air being sucked in - the car will pull timing like crazy.
you need to isolate the engine bay from the air filters, using snorkels to feed fresh air to the isolated area...
oh and when you call me an idiot, try to use correct grammar. dullard.

Elders?
Look, this in not a high school playground. The W203 has been out of production for 3 years now so, most everything has been tried, broken, modified and proven.

Temjin,
I can tell you a lot of us rx7 guys dont like the greddy/trust style intake as heat fill the engine bay and turns the filter brittle over time. Eventually peices of the intake get sucked into manifold or in my case, the T-78.
OP I think your intake is an improvement. Might want to save up for the Needswings intake. I have seen them on the crossfire and they are sweet looking but then again they use that filter I am not crazy about.

c32kompressor, the original design of your intake was my creation. I've kept the filters located in the rear of the engine bay, and created a...

You know what he means by mushroom filter right? Those filters are as big as what you have now and would flow more air. Overall, it looks pretty decent. Heat wrap and heat shielding would be a plus. You could also do a partial enclosure (or dam behind them) around your filters and funnel it to the front where the original intake tubes went. Cooler air coming in and it would be directional...
