DIY Intake tube replacement
I've been doing alot of reading and became BORED - so i went to PepBoys and looked around for intake pipes - Heres what i came up with.
This is the OLD pipe - why did they use that noise reduction section? NO freaking clue
Still undecided on keeping this pipe because its a hard plastic pipe - changing it to a solid aluminum one... But Its a start - Comments welcome.

Haha everyone in Brooklyn thinks they are bad ***, it's all good. If you didn't happen to know knn intake comes with a heat shield and still gets cold air from the oem ram mount thing. So if anything u re not gonna gain anything but u are also not loosing anything.

Also, I think you might need to find a spot to install that little box looking thing, last I checked those were to collect extra water droplets going towards your throttle body (if it ever comes to that anyways).
concerning your question about the k&n, its no... you won't find any intake system specifically made for our vehicles other than a fujita short ram, or dc sports short ram.. i did all the research myself... i don't think anyone on here has used the dc sports but you can find a lot of info on the fujita. i love mine, and it sounds like a totally different car.. good luck
