This thread has no other purpose than to say to those that have stock intakes WTF are you waiting for?!

Used to have a 1991 Ford thunderbird SC, no mods whatsoever... the SC was loud as hell all the time, twas great. The 'Balts lack of a similar whine was dissapointing, until today.

If ya have a stock intake, for god's sake get a K&N E-1009, slice up your stock air box and adapt that sucker. Sounds beautiful, only costs $50, takes maybe 2 hours tops (battery died & wont take charge for the saws all, had to use a hacksaw )

I'm just very happy, the SC can be heard now without straining your ears, and sure ya might pick up a few HP while you're at it. Hurray!

::end of unneccesary, overjoyed banter::

 

true

 

full intake > intake mod

 

Stock intake here. blah.

 

i have the ebay intake. and yes i love the sound!!!!

ralli that sig pic is awsome!!!! lox tanks right?

 

yup, LOX tanks. Thanks for the compliment.

 

Hm... I have the stock intake... waiting on RebelAutoWorx to send out my CAI, tho.



Then I'll say, "Not stock!" Haha, it will be my first and probably only mod (except for cosmetic mods).

 

use the E-0777 that is the direct replacment K&N filter for the SS/SC. The E-1009 is for the redline .... all though it works. I used to have the air box mod with the K&N E-0777 worked nice !!!

 

you could have saved that $50 and took maybe another month to have enough cash to just buy a really full intake that actually gains and sounds awesome.

different strokes for different folks

 

we went to autozone and bought a spectre air filter and hacked my buddys airbox off his SS/SC and put the filter on, sounds just like my buddys injen

 

K&N Typhoon here.

Full Intake > Airbox mod.

You must do more than just an Intake. I started off with just an Intake because I thought my car was plenty fast. Now I'm going up to a TVS. Waiting on the rest of my supporting mods to show up....It's like crack. Once you take that first hit, you can't stop. You need more and more to satisfy your needs. haha

 

But that's what a husband is for!

The Cobalt is my daily driver. I'm putting most of my time/money into the '92 Z28 & our S10 now.

 

i fully agree with you .... i told myself all ill get is the K&N drop in .... ha. I then did the air box mod, GM Stage 1, then AEM intake, GM Stage 1 - 2 upgrade, GM stage 3 pulley, 3" downpipe etc .... its like a drug

 

get your head ported, that's like a drug to these cars. My car acts like it is getting force fed cocaine. It's an animal.

 

Next week Ralli next week

 

i cant wait, i have to get new sc bearrings before i get to drive my ported head cobalt

 

OTT has a 3 inch coming out. wait for it.

 

raw already has a 3in

 

intake airbox mod might sound good........well that's about it.

 

because raw has brought the crowd tons of great stuff.

 

i really dont see how spending 200 plus dollars on some piping does any good. and the sound with the e-bay one is great!!!! but like you said, different strokes with different folks

 

I would wait for the OTTP over the RAW. I'm not a fan of RAW any day. Do they even sell stuff anymore? I thought they got ran out of business?

 

**** is like a drug... i started stock... now i'm done though. almost. i need to get the rx7 running anyways lol

 

well yes. Haha. I understand the dd thing. My car is too. Good luck on those builds!

I know I am. Can't wait either!

 

RAW is still around and there's definitely nothing wrong with there intake. Having said that I would also wait for OTTP's the quality will be just as good or better the price most likely less and seriously look at all the sweet stuff they have available for our cars!

RAWs intake is what $300? I have it on my car 'cause I scored it used for cheap and it doesnt do eff all went from airbox mod to RAW intake no difference maybe a slightly louder SC I guess you dont really notice the gains of an intake unless you have a tvs?
