k&n fipk install
I've read the instructions, and have seen the technical FAQ thread on this install, but I'm still running into a problem.
(step 22) The edge trim on the heat shield -- man, I just can't make it go around some of those corners. Am I supposed to cut it for each straight section? Currently I am just trying to bend it around the whole heat shield in one piece. Those 90 degree turns are a bitch too.
Please help!

I bent it around every corner. It took me awhile and I had to use a screw driver, but I did it. Certainly not the best design, but definitely possible.

My first attenot was bad. I could not just bend it around the corner. It kept coming off
I got pissed and ripped the hole f-ing thing off. You can see the front leading edge rubber came off the black monding. Not to search and find 2 feet of new stuff
I cut little 45deg opening in the turns, worked fine
only photo I had

guys, i was doing some research as far as getting an intake. I decided not to go with a cold air, although i loved the sound. I was going to then go with a k & n drop in but just NOW found out about what you guys have, the fipk. How does it perform and sound? I found this link here that claims it added 9whp to a stock 2000 s2. Is that possible??
