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?
