5th gen intake over 4th gen intake

Is the 5th gen air box set up better than our 4th gen in air box set ups. Does it sound any better or yield any performance gains? Can it be done?

Long story short, no. Not without modifications, anyway.

Sell the car and go for the 2003 with nav and leather. Someone who knows what to do with a 4th would like that car.

If you want sound, get an aftermarket intake.

No, it's not worth the retro just for whatever little airflow gains there will be.

Well, it may be worth it for you, depending on how much you value your money and time.
