just take off the stock airbox and put a piece of paper towels over the gaping hole, run the sensor into your cabin and blow in it while you are driving it works great... and im kidding in case you couldnt tell

hmmm, if you route the exhaust around to blow directly into the intake, you can save money on buying a turbocharger..

Before you get flamed by someone who is not as nice as me, you might want to use the search function at the top of the screen. Intakes really don't do much for these cars, some actually cause a loss of HP.

Stay away from the K&N Version 1 in case you didn't see the winking smiley next to my last post.

some of our fellow drivers can be unforgiving hahah.... basically intakes don't do much, but some may give you some increase, the popular ones are REVi from RacingBeat and AEM

how many times does somebody need to post the same topic over and over?

could the original poster within the back of his head possibly be thinking that this topic has never been discussed?

It drives me even more insane too see people respond! Stop responding! The first person that see's a repeated question just say search, then let the flaming ensue
