The True Abouth Airbox
^ Exactly, since the gearing on the car doesnt change regardless of your mods. You could have 1000hp, and would still go 80mph @ 3k rpms. The only thing that changes is how fast you get there.
Get a full intake if you want something with a larger diameter than the stock setup or just want that polished look. Otherwise, airbox mod all the way. It's cheaper by far, less prone to heatsoak, and produces the sound most buy a full intake for anyway.
I did my airbox mod with the GMPP filter that comes on the intake for the 2.2/2.4, but an AEM Dryflow filter is the top recommendation. Not sure if you've read through the how-to, so just in case here is the link: Airbox modification. You'll get all the ups, downs, and opinions you need in that thread.

Okay...
Perhaps we should hook up the stock shift light in this guys car... so he knows when to push in the clutch and move the little lever.
From what I've seen intakes will not work on all the 2007 models b/c of the way the ABS tubing is run. A friend of mine (DMan) showed me his and this ABS booster lines ran all up in the way of where a intake would go.

william there is no way in hell that the air box mod slowed you down. Unless you got water up in there.
STG2 raises your rev limiter there for you can take your car all the way to 7k rpm before you shift. It is all about practice.
Air box mod = introduces more air to your car = more HP. Just a tad however.
Basically you just need to learn how to drive.
Also where did you get a white SS/SC ?

Completely not true... but we shouldnt derail this thread will "it will" "it wont" arguement.
Just so you know I have airbox mod with oiled K&N and no problems and now a Typhoon Oil K&N.. No problems...
But I agree the airbox mod has nothing to do with the spped or your car. You just need a driver mod.. Good luck with the problem tho.

well, i read the entire thread...ummm cud I suggest maybe a leak in the vacuum line? After I installed my intake, I had a leak in my piping, and I needed to buy a new piece of pipe and cut out a new hole for the MAF. Before I did it, I actually lost power and I threw codes. After I fixed it, there was a deeper tone, and noticeable gain in HP. Call me stupid for the suggestion, I just wanna help the guy out. Either that or it has to be in your head man. Also, not trying to be a dick here, (but I saw you asked and I'll tell you) spell check, all u do is right click on the word you're trying to spell, and like 1-4 similar words should show up if you mis-spell it. I have a newer computer though, idk if it works on all computers. But, good luck dude, and I hope I somehow helped you.
I really wanna know what it cud be. Good Luck

also, i had no idea how big of dicks people cud be.
the man has a question and you give him ignorance. horrible. absolutely horrible. ask him a question in spanish...cud he flame you for not conjugating the sentences. i mean, you can understand and get the main gist of what he's saying.

I can send you the MAF if you want.
do yourself a favor and dry that filter off, or simply move the MAF higher up in the air filter housing than it is.

I disagree.....I had an airbox from the begining; one of the first mods installed on my 05 SS/SC. Yes it helped a lot, not only with the SC whine but throttle response as well; and you def. cannot beat the bang for the buck with that mod. I just recently upgraded my intake mod with a K&N Typhoon CAI from turbotech (on sale). I wanted a complete (CAI) system that finished the Supercharger, not just a cone filter slapped on the end of my stock system (even though that was the only option at that time). The sound of SC with the K&N is a lot louder than the airbox mod; whether it enhances the intake flow or not, the looks and sound alone was worth it. 
the problem is as someone said before is that the 07 does not have a intake yet. someone said due to ABS tubing where the intake is so for a fisrt mod do u recomend the air box or no

All in all though bang for your buck you can't beat the airbox mod because it essentially gives you a CAI for 1/4 the price. The extra diameter of the CAI isn't giving you much if anything because the restriction is not in the CAI but in the supercharger.
the problem is as someone said before is that the 07 does not have a intake yet. someone said due to ABS tubing where the intake is so for a fisrt mod do u recomend the air box or no
so what ur saying is that the 06 and o5 intakes will not fit my car so why the hell wont AEM make one for the 07. also where can i buy the air box mod?
