![]() Supposedly, for every 10 degrees F that you can lower the intake air temp, you will get about a 1% increase in SAE HP. So they should help a little. Is it worth the $ ? You be the judge. I did build one for my car, but it's a carbed antique, LOL.

![]() Besides, you can build one with stuff from Home depot for like $15. *not counting the cost of the K&N*
I know that theres a page out there for building one out of pvc for an sn-95, I just cant find the article , Little help guys? J

![]() The stock intake system is cold air, remove the air silencer, install a K&N Filter and your set.

![]() Keep your stock setup, minus the silencer, and use a drop in K&N. If you build your engine up, go with a NA powerpipe from Anderson Ford Motorsports. Any of the other "cold air" kits are a waste of money unless you just want to dress up your engine bay.

![]() Mine used to make that noise as well but it kinda got on my nerves. So I took the wheel off and splash guard (or whatever it's called) and put some dynomat sound insulation inside the fender now it's back to as if I still had the stock airbox on.

![]() Anyone know where to get the rubber couplings to use on the cold air kits? I'm going to switch to an 80mm MAF and the one I currently have is for a 70mm.

![]() stock airbox + K&N filter - air silencer = cold air intake
dyno proven to be equal to a CIA for 1/4 the price

![]() I totally argree with Ghettopop on this one. Unless you are getting it just for the bling factor, save your money. If you have a somewut powerful NA engine (over 400hp), then go with a AFM power pipe.
