So I got some money...

and I plan on using it on buy something for my G...

So I'm aiming for something kewl like a CAI. So far I've looked up AEM and their product looks pretty interesting. I have about $320, so of course I'm in no hurry to pull the trigger on this yet. So if one of you gentlemen and/or gentleladies can point me in the right direction towards a system that can give me the best bang for my buck, that'd be great!


Merry Christmas folks!

definitely skip the intake.. they only add some noise and you can achieve the same sound from a ztube for $70. Go with a ztube and motordyne plenum spacer. Otherwise you can get a set of HFCs for a little more ~$400 and install them yourself if you can or you'll need another $100 for install. These will be much better bang for your buck than an intake

Save it for wheels, or drop your car.

I'm curious why you only have 320$. Do you have kids or a wife? Are you limited income or no income?

It sounds like you should just keep the money. Why blow 320$ on piddly **** when you could save it and buy something nicer for your car later.

search "plenum spacer" on the forum.

it's a spacer on the plenum that allows more airflow to the front 2 runners.

Separates the upper and lower intake manifold, gets more air into the engine thus more noise and about 10 horses
