I'm gonna say it just as i have every other time, Stock Airbox For The Win! all your getting is a pretty noise, no power increase; mabey even a loss. But hey whats wrong with a nice purr? And by no means am i trying to offend you when i say, a few tickets will probably slow ya down; Drive Safely!

I don't know how a stock Airbox sounds, never had one. Had the Injen long ram since day one and loved it ever since.

I know! Ever since I did my CAI I can't stop flooring it either!

I know you probably lose a bit of power, but I love the sound. It sounds like an army of angry wookies storming into battle.


The stock airbox is just too typical Japanese car "engine? what engine?" quiet for me.

You don't just "put in" a stroker kit. And I was being sarcastic anyways.
