the new filter has more surface area to suck air in, and less restriciton, less restriction means the less the engine has to work...that's how I look at it, but I could be wrong

I just see the whole thing as a waste of time, the stock set up sucks air

just fine the way it is, nice cool air from atop the radiator and under the hood,

hence the reason for the gasket on the hood.

The decals look alright, but I really like the intake. Better quality than my 20 dollar one. I need to get that headlight cover too. Anyways, nice car. You just need a 5-speed.

[QUOTE]very clean motor (compared to mine, anyway) ...you might want to think about leaving on the old intake portion that ran on

top of the fan shroud, as it moved fresh air to the intake [QUOTE]

I left mine on when I put on the new intake....looks good

WE GOT LIKE 20'' of snow in my area. Ive posteed pics of my car covered in snow. check the snow pics of gen d ok. The stock air box has a hole probably one inch in diameter. Its mad tiny. The K&N intake or any other intake have a humungeous hole in the center where it straightens out the air and feeds it more directly into the intake. And maybe thats not a bad idea to leave the old intake duct there. I might put it back. Maybe when i can take alll the snow off my car lol. But i like my intake. ANd ffor thefive speed. Im getting it this summer. I got the headlight duct. Just got to wet sand it and paint it. then just install and watch the mouths dropp. It looks great though. I thinnk it wil help a litle bit with the air but not too much of a performance gain. lol
