I just removed the silencer and filled in the holes yesterday. You weren't kidding! The transmission runs a lot smoother...much less lag and jerking. You know that small snorkel on the stock air box that when looking at it from in front of the car is on the bottom right of the box? Can that be plugged? Can I also take the hose off coming from the engine to the intake tubing and plug the hole on the intake tube? I have a breather that I can put on the engine. As you can see from the above picture I posted.

Any ideas?

There are two holes, one bigger and one smaller. The smaller is 3.5 I'm sure but I bought the wrong size for the bigger one. This was all before I bought the new intake.

The cone filter, no it's not k&n. Only reason I bought the eBay one is cause it wasn't expensive and no overly cheap. I loved the sound but it was causing problems with the ECU. Are there any kind of mods that I can do to the stock system? Like how big are the air intake muffler holes? I heard you can plug them without a problem.

I already have a drop in k&n filter for the stock box. The crankcase breather came with the kit and I liked it but had to remove it cause of the tubing that goes from that to the stock air intake. Ide love to mod the stock intake. Oh and it's an aluminum one I bought.

Just an eBay one. I didn't expect much. I like the look of them.I put the stock back on and took a good look at it and noticed that it is almost just like a ram air intake. If there is any way to mod the stock one I'm open for suggestions....that or making the one I bought work. I hooked up the computer to it and it gave me the code P0172.

I purchased the air intake cause I've done it to all my vehicles. It came with a cone filter and all that. Long story short, it made the engine light come on and I had to put the stock one back on. I hate how much room the stock system takes up in the engine bay so are their any mods that can use the stock system but cut down on engine compartment space? Is there any way to use an aftermarket cone filter with part of the stock syste? What about removing that muffler thing? Never had this problem before and it's disheartning.

That's why I'm looking at something other then HIDs for hi beams. Was wondering what would suffice.

I already did the driving/low beams with HIDs. Just wondering what brought to take with hi's and fog lights.

Anything?

Hi, I'm new here and I've been doing some here and there mods to my wife's '08 edge. I put an HID kit for the low beams and I love the pure white 6000k (originally had 5000k and they were very weak). Anyways, I don't know if I want to put another HID kit on for the hi beams because they aren't used that much (if at all now due to the bright lows) and I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on them. I want as close to 6000k like the lows as possible and with a long lifespan. Any ideas? I found these but am skeptical. http://m.ebay.com/itm/281624454263?nav=SEARCH Same goes for fog lights. Thanks!
