Do you notice a seat of the pants difference? I wanna do this too. Do you need to get a custom tune so you don't run lean?

I couldn't find ABS at our local HD or Lowes????

Yes!, and pics are mandatory of course. Full review of said mod is also expected.

Gotts mod will be the same difference as a regular CAI. It's by far the most cost-efficient way to accomplish the increased airflow. I wish I would have done it. I'll sell you my Air Force 1. It's not a seat-of-the-pants difference but it does make the front end sound badass. Usually if you have exhaust the rear end sounds good but the front end sounds like an engine. Adding a CAI (or in this case, Gotts mod) makes the front end sound much more aggressive.

You don't need a custom tune for it but it sure as heck doesn't hurt.

What size AF1 do you have Matt? I was lead to believe anything over the 3" ID needed a custom tune. I'm running the older 3.25" ID AF1.

ok just got home, You most certainly can feel a difference when you rev the engine and when you mash it to pass some one. I reloaded my edge at the same level, its just like disconnecting the battery to reset the computer. As soon as I turned it on it reved quicker. it sounded like it was just gulping air. When I got on the freeway it growled better. It even made the exhaust sound better. pics are loading

ok I didnt have my slr at work so I snapped these a few minutes ago. I went to home depot and they had the abs in 2 foot sections for almost $6. I went to an ACE looking for 3' PVC but they didnt have any so I just bought a foot of ABS for $2.50. I had to use a grinder and reduce the end that goes into the inner fender. So I went from this:

to a 3 inch opening:

here you can see how the pipe is so restrictive, it just shrinks at the fender opening:

My engine compartment needs a good detail but here is the finished product:

Where did you get the ABS ACE ?
I can't find any in the local hardware stores like Home Depot and Lowe's

I asked for it at home depot and they showed me the 2 foot piece. I was trying to avoid the whole shaping the end of the pipe but it was inevitable at the end. No tune needed since it wont make you run lean. I got the abs at an ACE hardware store. it was a mom & pop place I've been going to since I was a kid.
