RE: I need a cold air intake and need suggestions
Well you can do the chip first, then with the chip replace the DV with 007's or forge, or baileys valves. Then change the Throttle body boot to a samco hose TBB, <-- these things are know for leaking when a car is chipped. As for the intake, leave it the way it is. If anything cut a big hole at the bottom of your air box and you'll be ok, The stock intake is already placed in a great location where it can recieve cold air from the wheel well. There is yet a Open element intake that shows significant gains if any. Numbers also showed that the stock paper filter is better than running the K&N flat panel air filter. After this start withyour exhaust, do the piggie pipes, cheapest way to get performance out of the exhuast, Piggie pipes shoudl be enough untill you go stage 3 from there you'll prob want to go with a bigger DP's have fun

Just running a box here with a hole in the bottom. It is the best thing for our cars. No real gains with a CAI. Do like he said for the mods.

Thanks for the back up, ya i'm run a big hole as well, i also cut out the vents on the wheel well ( i have to make sure not to floor it through puddles. CAI require cutting and moving parts, and making it fit, that can get expensive, and you will gain the same or less than what your gaining from the stock airbox.
