• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

POD Mod with 2" Filter instead of 2.25"

Why, if Pod Mod has been done, bother sealing airbox? You would not even need to put "roof" back on except to avoid water egress. One could drill the roof like swiss cheese allowing better airflow and any heating issues. Am I missing something??

Hi V.

My main reason for sealing the airbox is to keep everything inside it as close to ambient temperature as possible. A sealed airbox with cool air entering through airbox intake will run cooler intake temps than a hot box full of hot air. This makes a noticeable difference in summer traffic when pulling away from a stop light.

My secondary reason is noise. POD filter makes a lot of noise and it reverberates inside the airbox. Sealed box will make less noise.
