RE: No real performance gain, but looks a lot better
Don't flame me, this is just hearsay, which I have seen posted on this board numerous times....
I know you were just going for looks, and you didn't care about the gains, which is cool... It looks a lot better indeed. BUT, I have read that the aluminum intake pipes actually make you LOSE HP. I know you weren't aiming for any gains, but I sure wouldn't want to be losing HP.

RE: No real performance gain, but looks a lot better
No flaming here, the aluminum pipes do not make you lose power that is a myth that they let the heat transfer in from the engine compartment, in actuality, the air is moving through the pipe at far to great of a velocity to get any real heat transfer anyway, I prefer the tube over the stock one because of the looks and the inside is smooth so there should be less turbulence in the intake charge,,,,,,,,,,
also, more deals, today on ebay I won a diblosport predator tuner for 250.00 like new condition and just got a white faced GT gauge panel with blue backlighting for 6.75. I love no reserve auctions, lol,,,,, will post pics and stuff when they arrive

Yea, I pay for everything w/ paypal, I won't bid on auctions when the seller doesn't accept it,,,,,, I did ask the seller first, he said he loaded the stock tune back in and the yuner is un-married to the car,,,,, find out for sure when it arrives.

Put part of a cai in and cut my airbox for a little better airflow,,, no mztter what, the aluminum tube looks ten times better than the stock black one, and I figure there must be much less turbulance in the flow.
