Default intake

thinking about getting an "injen" intake pipe for my 92' sc4, will it make the car louder, and is there significant or any power increase????

I have one for sale!! was on my sc for about 1 month before I sold the car, If interested I can e-mail pictures with completebox and accessories,very easy to install! If you have any questions don't hesitate, you can e - mail me at irie.thecat@verizon.net

This is a cold air intake, goes from the throttle body to front of car with air filter.

I thought it did wonders for the car, but what do I know I'm just an old gear head!

BFI is the only way to go. It outperforms all of the intakes out there for the SC. I have a K&N cone kit too, but I removed it to do the BFI which I just finished installing yesterday. All I can say is that the difference is very noticable. The K&N only sounded cool, but didn't make me feel anything different. Scrap the plans for the Injen if performance is what you want. If you like the cool looking pipe and don't care about the performance then go ahead and do the Injen. It does LOOK good.
