He's able to run this style of intake due to the fact that he has a FMIC, thus the filters are filling the void left behind by the missing SMIC's. Makes me wonder what became of the AC dryer, and the ABS pump, as the area they occupy seems to be taken up by the new intake as well. I would assume that the SAI pump is no longer needed. Was the compression just lowered with a thicker head gasket set I would assume?
