Question about the SL55 Airboxes
I drive a c32 and ordered the y-pipe yesterday. i plan on using the stock air bboxes, imi gonna gut them out and put a drop-in K&N in them. From what i know, thats what evosport sells as their package as well, not 100% sure though. Just dont see the need for an airbox made for a supercharged 5.5l v8 motor. Im just seeing if you guys have dynoed the car or maybe bouhg thte y-pipe first and the air boxes later. did you nptice a difference from just the airbbox?

I had the splitter as my very first mod, there was a slightly noticeable difference. Eventually I moved up to the full 55k intake with K&N filters and custom intake tubes. That's when I felt the major difference, especially when the car was tuned for the extra air.
As for "gutting" your C32 boxes...well that makes no sense. You just need to open them and swap out the filters. You'll also need to hack up the original hoses from the C32 splitter to make it work. That or get some high temp tube to bridge the gap and size difference.
