In the installation instructions it says "we recommend for optimum performance that the air baffle inside the rubber inlet tube be removed". Assume they are talking bout the hydro carbon trap. If so, wonder if that is where the increased horse power advertised is really coming from?

I'm sure it doesn't hurt, but the open air filter versus the super restrictive airbox is making a big portion of that extra 8 horsepower...If the baffle was the only issue then they could have just fabbed an aluminum pipe to do away with the plastic piece and not bothered with the filter at all...Sounds like the trap is a different piece anyway. Haven't seen anyone post a pic of the location yet so I can only assume. I've been really happy with my MMR though...Here's a shot of it...More pics at http://www.cardomain.com/id/swingle007

anyone have any thoughts on how the MMR will compare to the K&N? asthetics, performance, price? i looked on k&n's website but it doesn't seem like they had anything available.

Thanks Steve! No word on the K&N on my end so far. All I know is that the aluminum pipe and heat shield will be great when MMR gets them out in January.....I'm so ready to get rid of that big obnoxious black intake tube setup from Ford. The aluminum kit will look amazing with the cone on the end and IF Ford or Steeda ever put out the cover for the top of the motor/intake, the engine compartment will be a sight to see! Can't wait to see your underhood pics after your MMR install!

Zero, K&N is in the process of making one right now. I just dropped off my car there yesterday so they can R&D the process.

[/b][/quote]that's awesome man. you'll have to let us know how it looks, run, sounds, once you get it back. did they give you any info on when it is supposed to be available?
i'm still curious what the difference is going to be between the annhilator from MMR and the K&N. especially since they both use one with an aluminum hose right?

Thanks bullitman, as soon as I get it back from the paint place (having the rear end blacked out til Wednesday afternoon) I'll get in there and "magically" remove that trap. LOL Every little bit helps!

They told me they will try to have their kit out by January. Officially they told me they have to leave the hydrocarbon trap in there so they will take a baseline dyno with all the stock stuff on there and then I believe a dyno with their kit with the hydrobarbon inside of it still (but I will ask to make sure). I will ask them to make sure what they do and what exactly is on the car when they make the dyno runs. He told me they can't release the dyno results of their kit until the kits made public so I won't have any dyno results with their kit on the car until later.
