Yeah the problem was fitting it there without issue and the bigger filter wasn't really needed based on the calculations. The overall filter diameter would be a tight fit (my previous filter was larger) if it had a 3.5" ID flange. Eventually the pipe will be modified to taper down so no coupler is needed. But honestly this is a first run for testing so we shall see how it works out.

LOL, at the business consultants.
Yea the issue with the 4.5" OD is it kisses the bumper too much and stops airflow. To get around that we made the filter longer and thinner essentially freeing up the filter from the crashbar and bumper giving it more surface area.

Well I tried to video tape AFR' on my PLX and RPM's since the logs don't show AFR's lower than 11.02 (lowest the stock O2 reads) but my PLX wideband shows spots where I hit 10.0 (lowest it reads) but it's pretty shaky
There is a slight misfire there but you can't really hear it. I guess I will have to get a camera mount and do it properly and safely. I need to order the software and cable from PLX so I can datalog.
The beeping is the Good Box boost warning because I have it set to like 6PSI. I don't have it floored here completely because it was a short road and I ran out of room.

I will get there, I have the cable needed (thanks Hoss) to datalog from my PLX and I will get the boost module for the PLX soon so I can log boost and AFR on the PLX together.
My exhaust setup is the BHR midpipe and Turbo XS 3" catback.



Once R&D is done we will release the specs but it is custom made for our application. This size of the filter is just how it worked out after doing the calculations.
