WTF is a GAB?

Maybe I'm retarded but I've seen people that have the GAB mod? What the hell is it? Is it like the ghetto airbox mod or something like that? Please enlighten me...

I already did that. No matches. And the search function is not available to me...As always, you guys have been so much of a help, and are always so polite and helpful to all on the boards. But seriously, wtf is involved in the GAB mod? Please only answer if you don't have a negative or sarcastic remark to make. And to those who truly would like to help and answer the question, I thank you.

GAB aka ( Ghetto Airbox). Basically the Lazy and poor mans airbox pretty much. hahaha. I think that the whole concept is kind of wierd but if you like that stuff and like to make your own crap, then whatever floats your boat.

Care to explain what is so lazy about it? MAKING YOUR OWN "CRAP" requires alot more work then throwing Mommy & Daddy's money at the situation for a shiny peice of steel that does NOTHING.

Must be nice to be a SPOILED BRAT.

I can't believe I missed this post... just because something is homemade doesn't mean it is "crap"... you're just hating because it doesn't look "sweet" or "mad tyte yo" in your engine bay... this reminds me when a couple of guys called Irish44J's mods "cheap"... please, give me a break...

Btw Ricer, NmexMax's dynos show that the GAB makes more hp than your Injen or whatever eBay JDM crap it is you have on your car.

It was when the lock up tq convertor did its thing when you leave it in third, like when you shift to 4th it gains a few rpms ... that's my guess
