hmmm it is pretty expensive but to get that sound..haha i am so down to get it. but i just wanted to know what kind of pipe that was running down. its not a joe z cuhz joe z are black..and if we do have to cut the intake pipe..i rather not..

edit: i looked up the roar intake filter and really i rather get this than the blitz. but is it universal?

I also talked to a friend with a shop about the Sonic Power, he said he had it on his old 3G eclipse, and it's worth it for the sound, no power gains.

I can't decide myself if i want this thing

How would you clean the filter???
And i don't see how that would help the intake out... There is less of an opening to suck in air.

This is purely for sound.

The _stock_ intake already provides more airflow than the engine can use.

I think the blitz one has a little fan in that spins when it sucks in air lol, something with that metal box that causes sounds, just like how most cone air intake has a unique parabolic shape near the tip of the cone nose to make the intake noise

It will fit with cutting and using an extra coupler, unfortunately it won't fit with an aftermarket tube. The guy that im going back and forth with on ebay said that they would love to make a specific intake for our cars but don't have a test car!
