I currently have a K&N drop-in with the bottom of the stock boxed opened up. Wiith my currents mods of TB, SMIC and Unichip will I see any gains by upgrading the intake to a CAI or SRI? I could not find any dyno results of intakes. Would it be even worth upgrading it after other mods like the 626 IM or hardpipes? Not concerned about looks or sound
 
well you just opened up a can of worms. some ppl say it will help alot, others say it doesnt do much at all. to be honest with you, i do not think the performance gains justify the cost of the intake. search for blkzoomzoom. he ran great times at the track with the stock air box. i dont care what other ppl say, with lower boost, hardpipes will not do anyting performance wise. the only way they affect performance, is if your stock pipes are cracked and leaking. we are not runnign high boost levels at all. i would def recommend tuning the car (dsm a/f controller is a popular mod). the 626 manifold is also another **** for the buck.
