    Engine intake air box

    Hello 818S builders. Can someone please post a picture of your intake air box install? I am having a hard time with this.
    Thanks

    My WRX did not have the OEM air box, but rather a K&N style cone filter fitted to an intake tube. It might be easier than trying to fit the OEM box? Something like in the attached link, but without the baffle, though you could probably fit a baffle if you wanted to .

    I used two lids to the stock air box. One pipe going to engine intake and the other to the side vent.

    Below is when go kart mode. I was running the stock air box without a cover. After I put the body on. The engine compartment air was to hot. so I added the cover to the box and ducted air from the side vent.
