AND it's NOT a COLD AIR box!
(it draws air from behind the rad and the engine compartment but does DOUBLE the filter area vs Stock)

I have a cwr intake box but honestly I dont think this was money well spent. If I could do it again I just would have bought two k&n's and called it a day. AIRBOXES ARE UNNECESSARY!!!

It's not necessary, but there is quite a difference in the temperature of
of engine compartment air and air you get from the factory box. I have
the Apexi Power intake and I'm not sure if there was any gain in power.
Sure, it pulls in a lot more air, but it's a lot hotter than the air it would have gotten from the factory box. The only difference I feel is in 4th and 5th gear. At least it's pretty nice looking.
