The thing that keep particles from getting into the car is that it sticks to the oils that is applied to the "hi-flow" filters. this doesn't use oil is suspect it doesn't filter all that well. Just my opinion but I could be wrong, www.martianrepair.com

If you are okay with letting dust into your intake, then get this POS. -Auto Makor- -Experimentor -Station Wagonor- -Computerizor- I have a foot that is bigger than a foot. SuperChipFOR SALE

Looks more like a show piece to me. 2003 Toyota Matrix 1972 Pontiac Ventura II "Sprint" 1998 SVT !SOLD!

If you are okay with letting dust into your intake, then get this POS. Yup, I bought one before I had my Tique. Put it on the Tempo, mostly because you could dump sand in that engine and it would run... Very poor filtering, cleaned dust off inside of intake tube many times. Not to mention cleaning the intake and throttle body regularly. If less is more, think how much more, more is...
