it just amazes me that people think they can get more power from a engine by simply removing parts,adding a air intake kit ,a chip,........et,ect....
dont you think the factory already squeezed out every bit they could while still maintaining good fuel economy and driveability?

theres some good videos on youtube that debunk all these cold air intake gains ,k&n filter gains,chip mods ......

most of the time your losing horsepower ,but as long as your getting that throaty sound out the muffler i guess your happy .

if you want a faster car BUY ONE . thats how you get one ...lol...

you'll find that the stock airbox is actually very turbulent and restrictive, so on our engines, a new intake actually does help.
Check this dyno graph from BMC filters, testing their OTA intake kit vs. the OEM intake.
Surprising, isn't it?
