Smile What Cold air intake to I buy?

Hi, I'm not familiar at all about cold air intakes and I was wondering if any of you could help me by pointing me in the right direction for buying a cold air intake for my 2004 5AT Coupe.

Thank you

hey can you describe the sound to me? is it sorta like a turbocharger ?
cuz I know that the JWT pop charger makes a buzzing sound like a supercharger... but I want something that resembles a turbo charger or blow off valves..

and by the way whats this whole deal with hydrolocking, is that when water gets in the filter ?? it rains up here a lot in the Pacific Northwest, if I get a CAI like yours should I be worried about blowin my engine, or even washing the car..

Does Not Sound Like A Turbo, More Of A Deep Throaty Sound, And Makes The Exhaust Loader Also. Everyone That Has Heard Mine Says It Sounds Mean. My Filter Is A Dry Flow Filter, No Oil, And Had No Problems With Rain. Don't Know What A Jwt Pop Charger Is, But It Sounds Interesting, Try You-tube For Sound Clips If They Have Any.

I have the z-tube/pop charger combo. I love it. Its not a CAI, but then they do not do anything for our cars anyway.

What ever you do, im sure it will give you the same results, the sound may vary (thats about it).

Get a Z tube and K&N drop in filter and you'll be all set. It looks completely stock but sure doesn't sound like it. Also get a plenum spacer and you will deafinately notice a difference.

I just installed Top Fuel Zero1000 intake chamber on my car tonight.
I used to have polished z-tube with K&N drop in.
Throttle respond is much faster than the set up i used to have.
The chamber design is supposed to increase air velocity.
Sound wise doesn't make much difference since i already got one of the loudest exhaust around.


I really like it...
