Missing Silver Thing??
I don't have that "trumpet thingy" on my intake. What is it called? and how can I get one? Is it a bad thing not having one? Thanks for the help.

If you're looking to duplicate the sound of the Motorsound cover, flip the lid over and note the pattern molded into the rear. Drill these dimples and you'll get the exact same sound.
I have the Motorsound cover but am not really a fan of the cheesy chromed plastic rim.....

I bought a standard airbox lid for $20 on eBay, and used a Dremel with a cutting wheel to remove most of the lid to make it look like the carbon fiber Supercup lid that sells for $150+. It gives a great sound at WOT, but I only use it on clear days, as it won't keep water out of the air filter if it's raining. For those days, I use the original lid.

I bought it at Pep Boys (!) a couple of years ago; it was about $40. They were also sold at Target at the same time. I haven't seen them in quite a while, but with Christmas a few weeks away they may show up again.
