I wanted to try somthing different with a little more mellow sound to it and the CAI has served me well #0009

The fenderwell air is plenty cold enough: there are no gains to be had from a long tube. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results

They were within 2-3* all the time, often within 1*. I'll do more tests this summer when it gets hot and I'm autocrossing and really heating things up under the hood at low speeds, but it looks pretty solid so far. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
