wait until you guys see the cold air setup im planning, it should be pretty neat, seems like every system has a major downside, stock is a bit restrictive, cone filter = hot and dirty, cone filter in fender/brake duct= dirty wet cold and exposed, i'll figure something out that'll make everyone orgasm

I think I'm going to make a custom box that not only looks sick, but is as effective as....... vasoline. Picture this, blue plexi, air inlets from stock duct, headlight scoop, and water-free wheel well, a nice shiny pop charger, and stock intake piping. And maybe a cold cahose ligh(no heat neon)

Nah... I would think that is just a waste, You would need to get a cold air box anyways because the air that is being sucked in is still hot air unless you make that fenderwell hole.

That intake MAY be good for sticking it down the fenderwell but it may or may not produce the same effects...

A. crap

B. "help draw more cooler air into the manifold" Anyone that says more cooler would not be getting my business.

help draw more cooler air into the manifold (and later reheated by the manifold from the heat of the exhaust...)

that said, make your own. And use proper english if you intend to sell stuff.
