SVXRide has a pretty nice one, and I just finished a temporary one on my car. Below are pics of mine. Looks ghetto, but it works. Using my manometer, I've logged a positive pressure at the throttle body with this setup, and I never had a positive pressure with the factory air intake. Low rpm torque is significantly better now. I can grunt the motor along all day at 2000-2500 rpm if I want. I just finished getting some Mr. Dyno data, and it backs up my butt dyno results. Torque is significantly up at 2000-3000 rpm, and HP is improved across the entire rpm range. The runs were done in 3rd gear on my 5MT SVX between 25 mph and 80 mph. I'll be posting the results in a new thread later today or tomorrow.
