It's all about dyno numbers. Hopefully I will be able to dyno it up when I pick up my intake in summer (wheels got moved to Priority 1). Maybe someone else will even do it first.

Can't say too much about injen or RMR. There is no info. I have RRM intake. It is simple but also the least expensive. Mine gave me a noticable difference in performance. Etronic got to test his before and after with Robert at RRM. His car was .5 sec faster 0-60. Least RRM is trying to quantify stuff. Injen is pretty if that is your thing. Plus they have a carbon fiber heat shield coming that you can buy later! RRM looks fine alone but gonna look sweet with carbon fiber panel!

OZman, I PM'd you about your intake questions. PM me back for more if you'd like. As for J, you'd have to cut a template probably to install that carbon inlet. You'd mount the inlet in the hood, then securely bolt down the flange into the hood.

I spoke to my parts pdealer, and he told me that the Injen cold air would be the way to go. They recommend it more then anyother, they put it on all their project cars. I trust their opinions and Injen has a good wrap. But, I wont find out if its good till I really install it.....Price doesnt mean much to me, i just do the swipe...lol

Don't confuse RRM (Road/Race Motorsports) with RMR. I think based on parts you described you are talking about us. Our intake does not have carbon fiber shield yet but we should have in a couple of weeks. The intake is basically K&N with adapter and brackets/hardware. Buy them separate. We are trying to be sensitive to your budget, that is why our intake is the least expensive but I'll bet just as good as others (for h.p.) That is what counts. As for hood duct. I'll post pics next week. Supposed to do install for a guy this week. All of the other products mentioned by you guys are good. Only comment I have is on the INJEN. Pics I saw showed a whole lot of clamps! WOW. Maybe a cleaner way to go.

You get what you pay for but, do you want to pay for something you don't need.

If price isn't a big deal, wanna adopt a 21 y/o kid? I don't eat much and all I need if space for a comp and a bed ::cough::

Anyway...my injen CAI should arrive Monday or Tuesday, but I'm going to hold off on the install until I get my first service done...oil change...whatever. I wanna get something outta this warranty. Now if only I were friendly with a shop around here who could do some dynos...or any shop at all for that matter.

Not sure what you understood. Price should be a big deal to everyone.
That is what I implied. Have store room with a bed if you are ever stuck in
L.A. No adoptions in my future.
