    Meh... 40 bucks plus 20 or so for shipping. Actually, i found out that there is no place in town that can do mandrel bends, so once i save up some cash, ill probably get an ebay CAI. Does anyone know, where the pipe routes through? There is that hole under the coolant resivoir that is the best place for it, and the resivoir can be moved.

        Ambient intake air temperature has a significant effect on HP output. Based on SAE J1349 standard for HP measurement, an underhood intake air temperature, of 120 deg F (48.89 deg C), for example, will reduce HP output of the 2.0L engine from 130 to 124, a reduction of 4.4%.

          Good catch glyph and thanks for the correction. Obviously, if something is full it can't be "fuller". Change that to, "For a more complete explanation..."

            eBay CAI in car. My intake did a few things: sounds sweet, better gas mileage(went from an average of 26-27mpg to 30-33 mpg), less low end torque, shifted the powerband up abut 500 rpms. The only reason I don't go back to stock is because of the gas mileage.
