In my quest for the best ram air intake that will fit under the strut tower bar (found in this thread Click Here) I settled on the following pieces...
WMS Velocity tube (ceramic coated)

$105
Accufab 80mm MAF Filter Adapter
http://www.accufabracing.com/general.htm#MassAir
$40
UPR 9" Conical air filter
http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=755
$40
Everything went together perfectly and holy hell did it make a difference over the BBK CAI! I can definitely tell a big difference in throttle responce and a slight difference in power. With the BBK CAI there was this half second delay when I'd punch the throttle and when free revving the car it was most noticable, you would hear the sucking through a straw sound then there'd be this awkward pause before the motor jumped to live and started revving.
Now as soon as I punch the throttle the motor just explodes and starts screaming towards redline, it makes double clutching soo much quicker.
As far as a seat of the pants difference, I swear to god I'm not imagining it and I definitely do feel the car pulling a bit harder and revving quicker towards redline now as I bang through the gears.
Before...

After...
It's not shown in the picture, but this set up will easily clear the factory STB, but it will not clear the Maximum Motorsports STB. For the record, I can DEFINITELY tell a difference with the strut tower bar off, much more cowel shake, a lot of new awful noises, and a general jello feeling to the suspension I didn't have with it on.
And NO, I'm not going to clean my dirty ass engine bay, to be honest, I like it like that! I'm not entering this dam thing in any beauty contests, I drive it hard and put it away wet, I have enough trouble keeping the outside of the dam thing half clean I don't have any time or patience for the inside
