Best thing would be to combine that filter with a comptech icebox.

what's the deal with the icebox?

I spoke to the guys at comptech and they said that the ITR stock intake works like the icebox.. pulling air underneath the passenger fender..

They even said it's not needed.. oh well.. i guess if you spend 165bux you might just feel that 1-2hp.

Best results was using the Spoon air filter plus running a duct to through the bumper.

TypeR pulls air from the side fender, but from the top (versus lower like Icebox) and it still runs it through the baffle

baffle schmaffle.. I took a vacumm and ran it thru the schmaffle.. it doesn't seem to be restrictive to me..

Just note that the rep at comptech said that getting an icebox for an ITR is not necessary..
