I guess the stock intake is a cold air setup IN THEORY. I challenge anyone to blow a fan in front of the grill and then hold a feather in front of the filter. I can already tell you the results....NOTHING. I think our stock intake setup is one of the weakest link of the engine's performance. Oh, and the "POWER DUCT"...what a freakin' joke! What the F can it possibly do if it is sealed SHUT by the hood. If anyone REALLY wants the most out of their intake setup...stop by my garage for a couple hours and you will be happy. Socal'ers only since I need to modify the car itself.
Actually.. I don't really have the money right now for the pipes, but can someone send me links for the parts cause I can probably put that together myself. Like the intake and stuff.
Can't find the revup box :/..

Ok I just went through this whole thread and I have to point something out. Maybe y'all already know, maybe theres no difference, or maybe it was edited/changed but...
Thescreensavers post read:

followed b SxEcXc's (or whatever) reply that read:

The factory intake is more like a NO-air intake! "
Sooo in conclusion: Maybe I'm lunchin here but from what I can see "thescreensavers" didn't say we had a "CAI"; but only that the "Factory Intake [was] pretty good."
So maybe the big argument shouldn't have arose in the first place?
