id have to advise against that...when u have to get smogged ur old intake HAS to be put back on to pass smog, so when u get smogged ull have to move the msd and charcoal canister which is more time than its worth... seriously mount it somewhere else.....dont forget u can mount it in any position

My god, california's strict! Random inspections? And you need your stock intake? You'd think anything would go as long as you had a filter and the proper sensors connected! Hopefully Jersey doesn't get like that.

Oh you can't mount the MSD box upside down... they say water can't escape the unit that way.
