Hacking out the carbon filter in the stocker will help flow - but it doesn't make filter changes any easier like the Euro does.


Would I have spent the $$ they ask for these new? Yes, it is still better than aftermarket & less expensive than PI - but I'm not sorry I got a great deal either


I actually just picked up the Lid & CF Performance snorkel from the Euro PI setup (very hard to find seperate) for under $100, so soon as weather allows I can get them installed & have the best of both worlds - Euro 1 pc box/round filter/PI look


where did you find the carbon snorkel..and what kind of lid did you pick up do you have pics

The cf performance snorkel & Euro PI lid where for sale here on the forum - just happened to catch them. Paid $60 shipped for both.

Here's a pic of the snorkel/lid I got:





He picked them up somewhere & was looking to try & get them to mate up with a standard airbox - but as you can see in the pic it's not possible




This was the 1st & only time I saw these parts available separately as you can only get them with the entire setup. Once I saw what he had, I snatched them up quickly at that price knowing they would work with the Euro

This pic, courtesy of BudVlad is what it will look like when installed on the Euro bottom housing:

IDK if you are referring to my post, but here is a pic of the lid I received with the CF Performance snorkel - it looks just like the US PI lid & the Euro PI lid & it fits perfectly on my Euro housing. (7) bolts/pattern is dead on, I already tried it...

This is my first time posting pics. I hope it works. Also, these are not my pictures. I hope the owners don't get upset. Both of these pictures are of the North America performance intake. Notice the bottom of the lid. Its has a triangular kind of fins for a lack of better word that fits on top the triangular opening to seal the flat NA filter. The bottom of the Euro lid is smooth/flat.
