no, it won't make a difference. If you're still skeptical, just take a look at how much resistance in the stock intake and compare it to your new one. Oh yea, if money isn't a problem, you should just buy a midpipe. It would save time and stress.

I would not sweat it. Mine stick in like an 1/8" or a little more. An intake is not a real big HP{ mod in the first place.

Bringin' back from the dead. The cone filter you got from ebay, is it rechargable like the k&n, just spray it with some oil, dry and replace, or is that only a k&n thing???

Off the subject did you use the small breather filter on the engine block? I used the original hose and put the breather at the end to keep it away from the heat a bit. Also I kept the scoop intact but removed the bottom half of the original air box. The rectangular opening now dumps some air out right where the cone is. IU don't know if this helps at all though. All in all a fun project except for the 4 stores before I found the 3" ID pipe. Have fun

After trying to make countless home intakes, my advice would be just buy a manufactured one because in the end it will cost less.

After making two different homemade intakes, my advice is to do it. It will cost less and it's the same damn thing.

got my midpipe from a local muffler shop for ~$15... the guy cut and flared it to fit the couplings and gave me some new hose clamps. worth the extra few $$ to me. plus he offered to make a b pipe for me for $80 w/ or w/o resonator... my next project.

what about using clear acrylic tubing (the kinda blue tinted stuff) it would be clear (cool, no?) and UV reactive... any interest in this? i posess all the tools to make damn near anything for a car, but won't be experimenting much until i get my tranny to stop acting up..
