There are alot of intake threads out there so I thought i would make this to clear up some questions. People with an intake on there SS/SC post up pics. This thread is not for questions.


K&N About $225


Injen About $225


AEM About $170



Fujita About $330


JPB about $258


XTC About $180


OTTP 3" 304 Stainless Steel Natural Finish with Optional Meth Fitting, K&N Filter, and Hydro Shield

During Install showing how well the fitment is.


Rebel Auto Worx 3" 304 Stainless Steel Electro-Polished Finish with Supplied Dryflow


When i took it off to sell held up pretty well


ZZP 3" CAI







K&N Drop In Vs. ZZP Supplied K&N Filter

 

airbox mod - $50.00 (K&N Filter model # E-1009)



this is the lil hole that u have to make to clamp the filter onto the stock box

 

Finally a nice pic of an airbox mod!!

 

dam that box is ruined if you ever need to go back to stock

 

Only time I had to go back to stock is after my cavy was totaled. I took off everything I put on it and kinda left the stock stuff there as is. I don't think the airbox hidden away in the fender is gonna be the first thing they see when someone looks at your car. So I think it'll be pretty safe if you would ever have to go back to "stock mode"

 

Edit the 1st post and put claimed gains, and fitment/cel information.

 

I plan to do exactly that.. My EXTRA intake is coming today

 

jbp intake:

i have version 1, want to get this two piece one.

link to product: http://www.jbodyperformance.com/new/...catName=JP0907

 

i like how it sits in the fenderwell.. but that is a stupid price to pay

 

There actually is one...but it's gotten buried. Someone made both an official intake and official exhaust thread. No idea why they weren't stickied, but oh well.

Intake thread
Exhaust thread

 

XTC intake 179.99

proven HP gain 10 and 7 lbs torque proven by dyno. Dyno sheet on cobalt-addiction.com




there are better pics on the site of the entire thing but i cant get a bigger pic.
shortbus also has it installed w/ black couplers

 

Both of those intakes just look peiced together. The welds on that JBP are fugly. Sorry guys but Injen has the looks on lock, maybe not the fitment though...

 

looks dont perform.. thats like having your roller rockers 1/2 turn to tight or to loose

 

exactly, jbp is the only 3.0" intake available.

 

Isn't 3.0" a bit excessive? Seems no more than 2.5" would be necessary, no? Just a thought.

if i ever need to go back to stock (not that i will being that i financed the car), ill just put one up at a junkyard or order one. hell, cant be more than $50-75. so, itll still end up being cheaper than the injen priced at 220.00. i have more pics of the box, i just edited post and put them in

 

added the intakes to the top post

 

Does anybody have the fujita F5? Becides being a little pricey how does it perform? and can some one please explane what a CEL is and waht it effects(dash lights, dealer fix? ect.). Would the stage I upgrade fix it because is it not just a reflash? Thanks*

 

Finally...a thought out post about intakes. Informative and no stupid noob questions. Thank you....thank you very much. I'm tired of reading thread after thread of "which intake shuld I get???"

 

That is y i made this thread. Thank you

 

CEL= Check Engine Light

Don't feel bad it took me weeks to figure that out!!

 

Isn't the fujita 3 inches (actually a bit more I think)

At any rate the size of the fender well hole is the limiting factor as to why so many are less than 3 inches in diameter. If you want a one peice intake you need to be like 2.75 inches.

 

if u want to do teh airbox mod.. just get a 3.5" AEM or K&N (preferably the dryflow) cone filter. dont cut the airbox at all and just slip it on the lip and tighen and keep the bottom off. to top it all off, the bottom fits with the cone filter so if u want to take it to the dealer u can keep ur filter on just screw the bottom back on. this is what i did on mine, and u can def hear it whine. no CEL, no problems, no cutting.

 

I was just wondering just a question. I herad with adding an ftermarket intake like the fujita or the others you will get a cel come on? Is that true or not?

 

there is a feature on this forum called the search engine. it allows us to type in keywords such as "cel" "intake" "fujita" or any compination of such, and it searches all the forums for information containing those keywords. I bet if you tried using it you would find some useful information to your query.
