No pros. Cons are you will pulling the hottest air possible.

Pros, 99% of the time your turbo is facing out the car for this setup!

Con, if its still in stock location you not getting cold air through,
You already have SD and ecmlink and all the other costly items already to be able to even consider this filtering system.

The green half sphere sounds like the HKS mushroom filter to me. Bad filters! Stay away

okay that's what I thought. I'm installing a ETS intercooler and its getting in the way of the FP intake.

They some times do, you need to move the intake pipe up a bit.

I've had the best luck making my own intakes with 4" 45* pipes, and silicone couplers. You'll also be best off running the biggest k&n filter you can fit than the hk$ junk.
