My little green Leer-Jet!

So, I finally found time to install my BHAF. I did it up like the sticky so it was super simple except when I welded the little piece of tubing backwards on my bracket . I think im going to order a sock to help keep the filter a little cleaner out hear in the desert. So, what did I get from installing this?

1. A drop in EGTS of at least 25 degrees at my normal cruising speed.
2. @ 1.5 psi of Boost
3. Clearance for taxiing at the airport because with the stage 4, I sound like a jet!

My old filter was pretty dirty, so I was wondering if that is where my numbers may have come from?
Also, not to sound like a sissy, but is there a way to subdue the jet noise?

Put the old filter box back on, or build a cold air intake like BC847 did.

Sissy.

Or install a silencer ring.

On a dyno, you might not see an improvement in performance, but it's there in the way of subtle airflow improvements in feeding the turbo.

[QUOTE]

At least on my HTT housing, there's no provision for a silencer ring, but I seem to remember reading that you can ask for one when ordering...
