Intakes

[winty87]

Lookin to buy a CAI around the 200 dollar mark and Injen is 230 and i dont really want to spend that. so what are some that you guys have or recommend around that mark? I checked out the AEM site but the drop down box for the year was only 2003.

ebay

check the for sale subforum, i c these things go really cheap all the time

alright cool. Same thing for headers? My lower bolt on the stock one is rusted and i just want a new header.

 

[JCell]

yep, any header that fits a 2.0 will fit yours

i'm talkin aftermarket. I dont want some bullshitted garge one on ebay what are some good named companies on ebay?

Well i'm going to say this now, all intakes are the same. So it really doesn't matter which one you buy, it just depends on the filter.

obx is the standard for headers for most

Awr makes a slightly better header for 2x the cost.

I definately will i have to get my money i've got about half what i think i'll need.


yeah, I thought AEM made one for us but its just RAI and i want CAI and the only one i've been able to find is Injen and thats 240 and i'm really not cool with throwin down 240 for some bent pipe

 

[nealric]

dead wrong.

Weather thats true or not, without supporting evidence it does no good.

I reccomend getting the x3 racing intake off of ebay ($50), throwing the filter in the garbage, and getting a k+n rr-3003 filter ($56). The x3 is a replica of the injen and I defy anyone to prove that it performs any differently with a good filter.

 

[winty87]

yeah i saw that Thread on here with the X3Racing intake. so i gave it a shot on ebay and nothing came up for me.

K&N makes a typhoon system for our cars which can be converted from a CAI to SRI easily. i personally consider it the finest crafted intake for this car and recommend it over all other systems.

 

[winty87]

how much?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

the part numbers and prices they have listed are for the AEM short ram intake. AEM does not make a cold air intake for this car.
