Your car, your call. When I swithched back to stock from a Stillen intake. The low end torque gain was night and day. Try it out, what do you have to loose?

well if your going back to stock you gotta ditch the injen, plus even used it will bring in a nice bit of change for your wallet. nothing wrong at all with the stock airbox, its just quiet.

An upgraded intake is actually more fuel efficient than the stock intake with the airbox...what makes you think that it is not? Even if the stock is a tiny bit more fuel effiecient....you are going to be saving mere pennies and it will not amount to huge savings...

Back on topic, you should do what you like...its not a big deal to change out intakes...just keep what suits you.

oh yeah do what u like no matter W(h)OT -- but the stock paper filter lets thru less air and the a/f mixture compensates by throwing less fuel into the system thus more savings for u

i love the sound of K$N's but the gas prices are ridiculous. cmon its like $105.5cents/1 litre right now in toronto

It's cool to hear the sound of the Injen but it's not cool to be sucking in HOT air.
