cold Air intake

I have read the pros and cons of this issue but was recommended by a performance shop that i add the fabspeed cold air intake, anyone have any input as to if i should get it or not...does it work? Thanks.

save you money and put it into a suspension mod, The intake may improve the intake sound, but there is't much/any power to be made...

Ditto, looks good nice sound, wanna do it for less? Try this; get a free flow air filter (K&N or BMC) and put that in, then get a silicone ait intake hose (I got mine from MaxSpeed) and replace the stock on, this will also have a cap for the helmholtz resonator, boom done about $150.

Free Flow Air Filter will be better, more Area to Filter and Intake. PM if you are intrested in BMC Filters, we are not the North American BMC Filter Distributors.

You should do a search as this exact question must be asked monthly, if not weekly.

When you say "functions perfectly" can you elaborate a bit as to performance!
I think it looks terrific but I have always been suspicious of my Evoms setup that when i step on it apart from the awesome howl I feel as though the injectors cannot keep up with the amount of air the engine is sucking in and that I am not getting the kind of speed pickup that should go with the howl!!
I wonder if that may be even more so with 2 air intakes versus my one.
So what did you discover going from factory intake to this new one as far as "feel" when you floor it?
thanks, Pete

was looking at those intake kit with the cap for the resonator and found the prices ridiculous. Did mine for ~$1. Sounds great!

Pete,

Not to be short but I've written about it quite a bit in the thread covering this for months. Go to that thread and, I believe everything's been covered there.

Love mine. Great sound when I get on it. When I pop the hood you should see people crowd around to check the engine compartment out. I hear wow check that awlsome intake out a lot. Im really glad I got it.
