I was wondering if its worth getting a regular intake. I'm really low on cash so i'm not lookin at a cold air intake but a regular one. What are some good brands and how much do they cost. Thanks

 

look it up chief

 

now much you looking to spend?

~$60 - cone filter and adapter
~$120 - JWT pop charger
~$150 - WsP Cold air intake
~$220 - Place racing CAI

 

lookin to spend 60 or so max...low on dough

 

i got the $60 k n, but i had to ghetto make the intake adapter to fit my car, on the vg all i did what have to drill out the normal adapter, i dont know if its the same on the ve

 

i'm lookin at a cone filter. i was wondering what companies (if any) make them for a reasonable price. when i did a search, someone said something about warpspeedperformance.com having them but i checked out the site and i didn't see any except for cai. thanks again guys.

 

Go to www.procarparts.com or www.lightningmotorsports.com. You can find some good stuff.

 

make your own, costs $25. go to autozone, pepboys, etc. and buy a cone filter (i got an apc filter at pepboys, $25). then take out your stock airbox, look inside it, and you'll see this copper piece. it's perfect for mounting the cone filter. just drill out the rivets that hold this piece in to get it out, bend the piece a little to allow the cone to fit over it, bolt it up, and your done. here's pics of mine:

 

how did you get the STB to fit over the VE? What kind is it?

 

I'd rather just buy one. whats a good cone intake and where can i get one for around 60 bucks or so. thanks james

 

my dad and i cut off the mounting tabs, and rewelded our own custom pieces to raise it up higher. you can see in the picture where it's actually starting to rust, that's because i never got around to painting it. it's made by OBX, but any FSTB you buy for the VE isnt going to fit, unless you do what i did.

i really couldnt tell you, sorry

 

I use to have a FSTB just like the one in your pic a few years ago, but I used washers (pretty ghetto) to raise up the whole mount. It doesn't give problems with the intake manifold until going over 40 mph...but raising it any higher would give some problems with the hood. How close does yours come to your hood?

what does the difference in the size mean? whats better to get? also, will i need to get an adapter?? are k&n filters available at my local part stores and finally....are k&n filters cone intakes or no??? thanks again

 

are k&n cone intakes? if not...what are some good cone intakes for reasonable price. thanks

 

anyone

 

Alright. You need the 3" adapter if you are not going to make one yourself. You need a matching 3" inlet intake, either K&N or the generic, it doesn't really matter. Both intakes are cone intakes. K&N might be available at your local parts stores but you would have to check. I was in PepBoy's today and they carry APC intakes, but I'm not sure about other stores. Any more questions?

 

my final question...whats better.....apc or k&n?

 

there's not really a difference, you're just paying for the name

 

I have the JWT pop charger with velocity stack. Nothing significant oabout it, except he cool added sound of WOT acceleration. I'm going PR/Cattman CAI next.

 

I have a Tenzo intake that I got a great deal on from another generous bbs memeber. Like Mr Rose said, it's nothing too special, but they do sound nice at WOT


Thanks again Jason

 

Right O'.

 

I love my k&n. I bought the adapter on ebay for $30 I got the filter at napa for 59.99 It makes the car sound sooo much meaner. The attatched file is a picture of it. It was money well spent.

 

hey check this site out..i got a JWT for 99$..just go there and email them and they will tell you how to get the deal..Also they told me they had some Stillen intakes that where returned because of bad credit cards for i think 120$.
Just check it out.

 

no offense guys, but i cant believe anyone is paying more than $50-60 for a cone intake! it's just not worth it at all. a cone intake gets you maybe 3-4 hp at the most, regardless of name brand or whatever. and the sound everyone is talking about, i have that on my $25 "pop-charger"
