Looks good, but it took more than one of you guys to install an intake?

sound changed A LOTTTT
when i first left my friends house and got on it i was shocked how loud it was.
it sounds a lot more aggressive when you get on it past like 3and a half grand
it sounds really deep and mean
i like it a lott
and when flying past it sounds a lot louder.
almost like an exhaust but not as loud
my friend drove my car and drove past me and you can deff tell you have a intake under the hood
i got it from turbo tech racing for 269 plus 15 to ship it
don't get it off ebay because they charge alot more.
plus Aaron is a chill guy to do business with.

a lot of the members on here said to go for the K&N if your going for a short ram
i was going to get a injen and use it as short ram but people said to get the K&N as alot of people both have it and like it

im completely satisfied with it

i really didn't even do anything with it
theres nothing at the end of it. i was going to put a breather filter at the end but my buddy with a AEM cold air has a SAI and has had it on for liek 3 months and he didn't put one on.
my 2 other friends with diff cars have SAI's and they didn't put anything on the end of it

That will eventually clog your cat. I'd recommend getting one on there

2.4L fits on the 2.2L, also the 2.2L K&N intake has been on a national back order at K&N for almost a year now, no one has these is stock (that we know of)

So the 2.4L has been a popular choice... Maybe K&N will only make the 2.4L intake, and call it a 2.2/2.4L intake??? Not sure what they are doing.

The 2.4L intake is in stock...

What is the difference between the 2? All I have known is the rubber seal on the shield and now apparently the SAI bung
