    I think you're going to lose power. That's not a real cold air intake if it sits under the hood. Doesn't give you much for pictures. Stock intake is already cold air.

    EDIT: Just saw your post about drop in filter... thats what I did, K&N drop in.... may eventually change the intake hose, but thats all. Can't imagine that ribbed thing being the best airflow.

    I doubt it's CARB approved. Remember that when you have to get your smog check done. It will fail unless you can find a shop that will overlook it.

    Lots of folks have made their own, but there are no gains. Some have made a "Ram air" intake, by routeing the intake to collect air from under the headlight, or the like. These may have potential for gains, but no way to really dyno it, as most shops fans are only for cooling the engine.

    ^Come on, you know there's a MUCH more reliable way: the Butt Dyno. It's proven to show gains 110% of the time.
