The C&L documentation says it will make the car perform worse, but since I didn't notice any performance gain from the C&L, it's worth a shot. Anyone ever hook up a Ram Air kit to a C&L?

Actually, I took out my headlight to get a taste of Ram Air before buying (I already had the C&L installed). It worked great - despite what C&L says - it may be that there was just more cold air that way - I dunno. I went to Lowe's last night and bought a Ram Air kit (rather the parts to make one). It costs about 20 bucks. When I am done I will report the results here (and any plans that I may write up after I am done). Another thing to remember with extending the Air Silencer - do not make your add-on hose too long or you will worsen things a bit. Think of it in these terms: A garden hose is slightly larger than your windpipe (some of us). Try breathing through a garden hose one time. It is nearly impossible. The example is extreme but it is the same concept. You do not want too much tube (at least not in this application).
