Cold Air intake, suggestions?
I am looking to swap out the cold air intake soon and wanted to get some pointers from you all who have had work done.

I am not really looking to add power, I am more interested in the change in sound that comes with the intake. So please keep that in mind.

Knowing that, would the AMS intake be overkill since it requires a tune? Anyone have a xtreme boost intake and have feedback on it? AMS lists at 414.95 + 179.95 for battery + cost of tuning, while xtreme boost offered their custom one for 350 and say a tune is not required. Any others I should consider?

Comments? Thanks.

UR has one but it's a short ram. Should give you the sound though, it's only 150 i think.

all that open air stuff WILL lean you out, not a good idea w/o tune. Besides, the extra air is going nowhere w/o a bigger exhaust.

Why not put a naca duct right over the intake it may look weird, but it'd be functional.
