Also, what reset procedure are you guys suggesting, the 20 brake tap one?
On the REVi, I guess it all comes down to whats important to you and if you have the spare funds. If I could afford to, I'd still take a MS CAI over modifying the stock box, but for essentially the same benefit this is worth the few minutes it takes.
nice mod by the way 
i think i'm gonna back to stock,its easy to clean the filter than my RB intake 
so anyone wanna buy my RB? lol

Interesting thing I've noticed. Since I've had this done, my "fuel cutoff" feature that the scangauge displays doesn't kick in. This is when the computer cuts off fuel to the engine when you are coasting with the car in gear, when you let off the gas at a high enough rpm. It shows up as 9999 mpg and 0 HP on the scangauge (as explained to me by the scangauge people). Any thoughts on why this cutoff might not be happening with the intake stuff removed?
Also, I noticed when crusing in the low 70s, my exhaust seems to be louder. Perhaps because the engine is getting more air?

I just put up another post that said it started doing the cutoff again yesterday. Not sure why, other than maybe the ECU adjusted to the increased air flow.

I don't know that I'd really call it a problem. Wouldn't have even noticed it without the scangauge. But yes, it seems to be entering the fuel cutoff mode like it did before the mod now. When I lift off the gas and the engine is under load (which is almost always is since i had an AT) with sufficient rpms, the scangauge shows 9999 mpg and 0 HP, which indicates the fuel injectors have been cutoff to save gas.

Yeah, I know about the fuel shutoff. What I was saying was that it wasn't doing it for a few days after the mod was done. Then it started doing it again. Same type of driving conditions, etc.
Yeah, I wondered if what I was hearing was more intake noise, but it still sounded like most of the noise was coming from behind me. Interesting thing is it only seems to be louder at certain speeds/rpms.
