Cold Air Intake 2012 5.0 R-Spec

[RhinoGarner71]

Has anybody done a cold air intake system on their 2012 5.0 R-Spec and got definitively improved performance. I have installed an x-pipe with Borla exhaust and the car sounds amazing, but I am always interested in waking more power out of the Tau. Whatever can help make more horsepower or a of interest to me.
Thanks so much

Most cold air intakes on the market are trash for this particular car. There are two things you can do. One of them is to remove the two flaps in the airbox and add a KN panel filter. The other is replacing the stock airbox with a 4 inch cone filter while preserving the stock intake tube, I highly recommend getting a heat shield if you're going with this option.

remove the "flaps" in the 2 air boxes to get max airflow from the stock system. I did this a while ago and tested the air temperature inside the air box with and without the flaps.
the stock system is about maxed out as is

Where is the other flap?
