My TL had a homemade SRI with a large cone filter when I bought it.. I replaced it with the WR-SW (it is an SRI) and there's really no difference. The filter is foam which is not recommended since it allows an excess amount of particulates through. If I had the stock airbox I wouldn't have touched it. I investigated WR claim to their design and I even have the full pdf of their patent. Their claim has validity but I think the gains are not drastic or remarkable. I put a random bid on ebay.. thought I'd never win but I did.. in hindsight I would have rather invested in a better filter. I'm definitely not going to pay for a dyno to find out the gains.. probably not much different than the homemade SRI or any other commercial kit. The only tricky part is the intake tube from the rear bank head is metal so it encumbers the intake & it is attached to another metal vac tube.. I shifted it up and used WR supplied filter (also foam).

Gonna do a 8month in Riata. 1 Bedroom and thinking about a garage.
I should be up Monday night. I'll tell you all about it then, or Tuesday.

You better take advantage of their facilities.. my favorite convenience is they have on-site moving trucks and a party van to take you downtown during the weekends, that way when you get f*d up you have a free ride back... or if you're like me.. you get f*d up before going out.. lol.
We're probably not going to see hail for a while but everyone at Riata who didn't have covered parking or a garage got at least $5k in body damage.. some were total losses.. I don't know how much garages are but it sure helps to beat the heat when you want to do some wrenching on the car too!.. I use our carport.

Actually it's kinda complicated. I am employed by Accenture but I'm in the outsourcing group so I work permanently on a project outside of the Accenture office. I work on the TMHP project. We run the Medicaid program for the State of Texas as a partnership with ACS. I think the sign for our building actually says ACS since they are the primary contract holder. Accenture does the IT part of things. That's probably way more info than you wanted to know .
