Oh I almost forgot, about the sucking in hot air from the engine. A heat shield won't hurt right?

It'll hurt your wallet a little since it's useless under there.

Quote: I wouldnt remove the snorkel as it feeds air right into the intake since it takes air from in front of the car, your better off leaving it and getting a cone filter that looks like this:
This way it sucks more air in easier
The snorkel limits air flow, why bother putting in a new intake?

Sorry to bump an old thread...

But does anyone know the size of the clamps on the diagram below?
I see they come in 3" and 4" at Autozone, just not sure which these are.

Quote: Any gains from this? I'm doubting it makes any more power than a stock box with a K&N or something.
Probably not, but my exhaust sounded better with the Sri than the k&n in the stock airbox
