Also, mine is on an Exige S. Having the IC pipe in the way complicates things a little.
Can I just vent for a second? Thanks!





OK...



It's much harder to get the airbox to close on the "S", especially without anyone to help. I had to take the supercharger to intercooler pipe off, just to <b>see</b> the inner hinge... then with one arm in the engine bay, and one up through the wheel well, align the inner hinge and close the box.

I've used up enough four letter words for a month.

That said, I'm glad I changed the filter: 10,000 miles and very dirty...
