Let me guess, Auto Zone Special? If so run like hell.
Just keep saving up some money and buy the Intense FWI kit designed for your car. You'll love what it'll do for your car.

Re: Air intake kit
The only kit anyone here should consider if they're serious about how much performance their dollar buys them is the INTENSE FWI. If it's too pricey for you, gut your stock airbox, drop in a K&N, and start saving your money.

Re: Air intake kit
Save your money, thats just a hot air intake kit.
All it does is suck hot engine bay air into your motor killing your performance. Your better off with the stock air box for now and saving up for the Intense FWI kit.

Re: Air intake kit
yeah thats defiantly an auto zone special..safe your money
for now to hold you over until you can afford a FWI..gut your air box to hold you over while you wait
then when you have the money, order your FWI from intense, its a much better intake design that nothing can compare to and its defiantly worth every penny especially on an SSEi

Edit: dang you Bing..i knew someone was gonna beat me to it

Holy cow. Garbage never smelled so bad for so much money and reduced performance.

Re: Air intake kit
For reference, anything short is bad, especially for the non-supercharged engines.
Anything exposed to the engine bay, especially with no insulation or cold air (non-engine bay) feed is bad.
Anything with an unidentified brand of filter (or one designed for import tuners) is bad.
Anything from Autozone or eBay is bad.
Anything with Aluminum is bad unless fully insulated or shielded from heat.

Re: Air intake kit
Yeah, that intake is garbage.
Here's what you need: http://intense-racing.com/Merchant2/mer ... _Induction
Considering the price of kits like the K&N FIPK for other vehicles, it's a relative steal.
