Your 17 out of your mind. That explains some things.  Trying a little hard to impress the ladies though aren't you?

Fixed for all of you 17 year olds that have taste.  Didn't mean to offend you.

I guess that "silver" pipe is the pipe that connects your air intake to your turbos. The placement of the air filter does not matter. Quick fix, start from scratch, remove the top of the filter box and drop in a K&N. It will basically do nothing but at least you have added something correctly to your car. Just read the forums, there isn't a lot about S80 modifications, but you can gain a better idea of where to start. I hope this helps you young arob.

No turbo. And yea, I did take the top of the box off and put the filter right on the pipe.

your not gonna gain much if any power with just a better intake on that engine, but you will be able to get some nice sound out of it if thats what your into. Get rid of the bottom of the box for starters and keep the filter directly on the maf. dont know what the silver pipe is, i'll try to find out for you on my parents S80 tomorrow. You may lose an hp or two from doing this because you will suck in hot air, but nothing noticeable. Making a heat shield will get you back this power plus maybe 1 hp if you do it right and your filter is a good quality one, but again nothing you will notice. no heatshield will be the loudest though. It does not matter which way the cone is facing.

Well right now the bottom of the box is holding up the intake tube, so I would have to hard pipe it all the way from the engine. I'll probably end up doing that, but I wanted to find out what to do with the silver pipe before I take out the box.

you dont need that silver pipe. the other end is attached to a heat shield on the exhaust manifold and it allows the car to draw in warm air from around the exhaust to help it heat up quicker for emissions reasons. however, you might throw a code if you disconnect the plug from the flap controlling flow from this tube. maybe another S80 owner will chime in and let us know if this happens... or you can just unplug it and test it yourself, you wont do any damage by doing this.

i guess i don't understand where that CAI is plumbed too if you still have the stock box with the maf hooked up there?
ouch.
