Why buy a cold air intake?

[jimmythemufflers]

The number of exhaust systems is overwhelming. Especially when they all look the same! Next on the list are the cat bypass mid pipes. Too many good reviews and for the price, it cant be beat!

I read up on how to de snorkel so I took the screw out of the side vent and pulled as hard as I was comfortable. Not even a budge, I'm sure it needs a bit of not so gentle persuasion however I got scared so I put the screw back in and walked away.

A while ago I read some people changed air boxes, throttle bodies, manofolds etc. I dont remember much more it was a while ago. This car is my daily driver so I have to be careful that what ever I take apart I am able to put back together. I was hoping to do something to the intake but I may just end up dropping a new air filter in and calling it a day.

Thank you all for sharing!

I've taken all kinds of grief here over my blasphemous post about CAI but I have a thick skin and since you're only wanting noise here goes. A little over three years ago I desnorked and wasn't impressed so I bought an Evolution Motor Sports CAI and a second filter. The Evo CAI system has a seal that is designed to keep the hot air from the motor from getting to the filter so only outside cold air comes in. The system replaces your entire OEM system including a baffle that mutes the intake noise. It also has a mount on it for your MAF and I bought a second cone so I could swap a clean one, clean the dirty one, re-oil it and let it sit and drain for months between filter changes. Have not had one MAF issue in the three plus years and the intake roar at 3K rpm is a symphony for the ears. Easily one of the best mods I've done on my '99.
Ok, that's my two coppers I'm ready for the broadsides.:dance:
