I've read about the different airboxes and filters you all use but I havent seen any mention of this type of intake on here. What do you all think about this? Personally i think it looks sweet and seems like it would be pretty well-functioning but i am no expert on these cars. Thanks guys!

I see. So pretty much it may help a little but without a new airbox it will be limited. Do you think it would sounds more agressive or no? Where would i look to get an airbox? I saw the Renntech one but it seems pretty steep for an airbox.

not gonna lie. the airboxes for your car are quite expensive. i think the current options are VRP, Renntech, and Kleemann. Shoot Hooleyboy a PM about which ones are the best to get. He's the expert (to me at least)

I'd say lil or no gain over that mod.. Just get a stock K&N or Greenair filters and call it a day...
If you want CF airbox (bigger) it will set u back any where from $1000-2000.

I agree. This is either a cheap or expensive proposition--nothing in between. K&Ns or Green filters or the whole intake. Personally, I just went K&Ns and was done.

I know many of you have "modded" your airboxes by removing some of the fins inside.. does anyone have any pictures to show what they have done and if they experienced any gains?
