Hey guys & gals, here's my review of the CorkSport SRI.
CorkSport probably isn't going to be too happy about the things I'm about to show but it is what it is... I expected better quality control on such simple things.
I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

MAF housing imperfections.
Here you can see some damage to the air flow vanes.
After fixing said issues with a dremel.
The threads on the clamps seemed WAY too long to me, after everything was tightened down, so I decided to bust out the dremel one more time.
Even after trimming the threads a bit, after I bolted everything in, they are still sticking out a good amount. It's not a big deal but with the threads being so long, my 10mm small socket wasn't deep enough to tighten the clamps with the threads getting in the way, so this had to be done.
This pic shows the final assembly and the amount of thread sticking out AFTER trimming.

Now to the good part... OEM setup
CorkSport SRI. I left the factory air scoop in hopes of it delivering cold air to the intake. The outlet sits below the air filter, so water and stuff that might get in won't directly hit the air filter. CorkSport's instructions say to remove the entire OEM air box but I like thinking outside the box and don't see how leaving the scoop in place would do anything negative. If anything, it will help with cool air.
During my test drive, the SRI along with the CorkSport axle back exhaust is a great combo and the two parts definitely compliment each other and the result is an awesome engine growl and exhaust tone. I definitely recommend these two parts from CorkSport if you're looking to increase performance and sound. Overall the CorkSport intake is a very solid unit and I'm happy with my purchase.
I noticed better throttle response during my test drive but it could also be due to the engine torque mount polyurethane injection I did to help lessen engine movement, but I'll save that for another thread.

Here's a video but keep in mind that I have the CorkSport intake & Exhaust on in this video.
