Because of the constant relentless postings by people asking repeatedly, "What intake should I get?" and "Is this intake good?" I am making the official intake thread. Here it goes people, this thread will not require much elaboration, and hopefully it will solve some problems.....
AN INTAKE IS PIECE OF PIPE WITH A FILTER ON THE END OF IT.
NO, YOU WILL NOT GAIN 20 HORSEPOWER.
YES, THE EBAY INTAKES WILL WORK.
YES, YOU CAN PAY $200 FOR A NAME-BRAND INTAKE, NO IT WILL NOT GAIN ANYMORE THAN AN EBAY INTAKE.
IF IT IS IN THE ENGINE BAY, MAKE A HEAT SHIELD FOR IT, IF NOT RUN IT TO THE FENDER OR BY THE BUMPER.
NO, YOU CAN'T ASK ANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ON JBODY. THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN COVERED HUNDREDS OF TIMES, USE THE FREAKING SEARCH BUTTON.
YES, MY CAPS LOCK IS ON BECAUSE I AM YELLING.
NO, THE TURBONATOR WILL NOT WORK.
NO, "TORNADO'S" DO NOT WORK.
NO, THROTTLE BODY SPACERS DO NOT ADD POWER.
NO, AN A/C LINE TO YOUR INTAKE WILL NOT GAIN YOU HORSEPOWER. IT IS NOT EVEN PLAUSIBLE.
INTAKE = COOL SOUND, BETTER THROTTLE RESPONSE, AND A MINOR HORSEPOWER INCREASE.
I hope this answers your question Mr. Newb. You don't need to worry anymore whether or not that sweet piece of painted aluminum tubing is going to enable you to beat your buddies Talon, or your brothers Civic, because it probably won't. Focus on creating a better car that makes you happy. I am in no way saying that an intake is worthless. It is a critical part of a well performing engine, but there really isn't much science to your basic cold air intake.
Huh
Nicely said... poorly worded lol

Repost!!!!
This is probably not going to be stickied since Event already covered it in his sticky. And as for noobs asking about it, you just maybe prevented it for a week or until it falls off the 1st page. Anyway nice vent thread.

i doubt the AC in your car is enough to cool your house. go get central air.
