aluminum still gets warm though. My aluminum bomz gets prety warm.

does the BBK make a constant sucking sound? i think thats why my Bomz isn't making a constant sucking sound, because the piping is the same all the way threw the whole CAI, and you said your BBK has a smaller part where the filter is.

i want to change mine out to maybe a brand that could produce that sucking sound. i was hoping maybe BBK could do it.

It is 3" where the filter is, and 2 1/2" where the tube goes into the TB... Yes it makes the sucking sound, don't exactly know why you would necesarily WANT the sucking sound, but what ever floats your boat. It is steel, but very lightweight, looks great, and a noticable power increase, though slight.

I recently purchased a cold air intake for my buddies hona civic for about 20.00 dollars and it's held up now for about 3 months. I would reccomed one of the cheap ebay intakes to anyone.

After a few days of *** whopping, the intake holds up fine and doesnt over heat at all, its the only touchable thing under the hood. I otta admit i like it and the sound is so nice.

I'm curious...do these CAI really make that much of a difference?
What are we talking about.....2-3HP at the most?
