If you're looking for power, you're looking in the wrong area. Intakes yield very little, if any, HP/TQ. I am of the opinion that you can't gauge an intake's effect on power because whenever a dyno is done, the hood is up, making a WAI the same as a CAI. I suppose the tubing could have an effect but little, if any.

You want power? Retrofit a 00VI or get an ECU upgrade. Or if you're an automatic, convert to 5spd.

All intakes are created equal. Some intakes are more equal than others.

Seriously, just get a PR CAI and call it a day.

Don't touch anything in between the TB and MAF .. Leave the black resonators and accordian piece in place

Unless you drive through 'common sense' puddles, you should be ok.

i'd say keep the stock intake. I am going back to mine just because i like the improved throttle response and more linear feel
