  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

A Simple Intake Modification

BradyB,
The 4.6 air filter box is essentially the same in the R-Spec. The R-Spec does not have the secondary "filter". The R-Spec does not have a mass air flow meter, which the 4.6 does. I had a the same cone filter on my 4.6s, with a very important difference. I attached a 4" long aluminum tube between the air filter and the connection to the OEM air filter box. This is necessary to smooth air flow to the mass air flow sensor. I also removed the screen from the mass air flow sensor.
You can see that my mod retains the front over-the-radiator air intake and the secondary (flap protected) air intake in front of the right headlight.

Sorry to bring this thread back from the grave, but I just bought a Genesis 4.6 last year, and had a question.

@Rey or anyone else who knows, when you say “secondary ‘filter’”, are you talking about the extra little foam (I think) layer clipped in above/after the main engine air filter? If so, does that mean I wouldn’t need to keep it there on my 4.6, since the R-Spec doesn’t have it anyway?
