I don't know why people are so vehemently opposed to a mod that provides modest HP but serious sound improvement. I could not be happier with the change in sound after installing the cat delete pipes and top speed muffler and that did not add very much HP. I have considered installing an after market intake just for the sound.

I also note most of the people who are against it are people who have not actually installed one. I can't recall seeing too many "why did I install this it was a big mistake" aftermarket intake posts.

I installed a bmc direct air injection cai and it was a big mistake - killed the maf. it is now out of my car and I have a 987 airbox (oem, sealed to the outside, cone paper filter, sounds fine) in it. much better.

I bought a car with a bmc carbon dynamic airbox in it and, guess what, killed the maf. it is now out of the car.

Keep the stock airbox or put in a 987 box.
