Take that to the INFO page!!!
Hahaha j/k, I like the HKS drop-in filter better. It's cheaper and allows more
airflow, just have to watch it more often - so that it doesn't dry out!

That is why my budget minded self, who is also attempting to stay in STU but is being seduced by the Cam side of the force, has opted for this intake. And as for the comments about water ingestion, just don't drive through deep puddles. They use this in Australia!! And don't forget where that is... yes the South Pacific rain and humidity central!!!

Ron when the hell did you get that car. I cant see some of the pictures probally because the work computer is blocking some sites but it looks good. what do you have a CB in that thing? Also how much did you pay since you said it is a little pricey?

I got a good deal on it about a week ago. It was a trade in at a Tampa Nissan dealership. I paid 20G - and it has easily over 10G in upgrades. The stereo system cost 7G alone and I'm selling it and all accessories at 1/2 price.

ralliart oil cap, shift knob, cooling plate, short shifter kit, 5 Defi gauges with the control unit, esperlier cat back. Other than that, it's stock. the mods are mostly bling. But the stereo is choice - plays DVD's, CD, tuner, MP3, XM radio. 
If I don't get a good price for the stereo, I'll just have to keep it.

Thanks! - and yes it rocks!
But - it's so clean sounding just use the volume button to adjust listening level and anything sounds great on it.
I'm having second thaughts about parting with it!
Maybe I just need to take out the sub box when I go to auto-x?!
