Vishnu Dual Cone Intake improvement

I am a happy with my 335i on stage 1 with Vishnu OpenFlash Tablet :-
)

I had also bought and installed Vishnu Dual Cone Intakes. Although it is a trivial task once you know how to remove the stock air box, there are still a couple of tricks to know. As most will notice the couplers are asymmetrical, the long one goes at the back. The couplers also have a slight bend to it, make them point up. At the end both cones will touch and slightly push each over. My front cone eventually slept in towards the coupling, perhaps due to the pressure on each other cone. I thought I had tighten it enough, and cleaned the coupling before mounting but it was not good enough. I did not want that to happen again, so I welded a wire hose clamp on each coupling acting as a lip preventing the filter to slip in. It is not going anywhere now :-)
