C3 Intake - Take it out?
Hey all,
I've been heavily considering just taking out the C3 Intake due to funnily enough the sound sometimes being a bit too much and also the hot air it is sucking in.
I have new K&Ns in my stock intake and also have bigger heat exchanger with isolation etc.. running a C3 SC pulley.
Do you think I'm best to take C3 intake out and just run the stock intakes performance wise?

Yeah Ok I was more asking is it doing negative for power/performance wise putting in hot air than just leaving the stock intake and k&ns in..
Guess I will leave it in if it is doing more good than bad

Much better than OEM, but if you want even more flow, get the SL55 intake. Although one advantage of the Code3 over the SL55 intake is better throttle response.
