Cold Air Intakes worth it on a GT?
There are tons of cold air intakes on ebay for around $50. Will they improve performance and sound over the stock filter?
I'd appreciate any comments from people who have bought and installed these "cheapies".
Thanks.

you won't get poop for gains. nothing you'll notice anyway. get it for the bling-bling factor. you'll get just as much "performance gain" from the cheap ebay ones as you would with a $150+ K&N or MAC or something.
