not a big fan of the foam filters. Get some K&N filters and you'll be fine.

I agree with everyone else.

the foam ones suck nads.

K & N's on intake pipes are the way to go.

thanks, but home depot? come on that's what one of the kids i know with a NEON did. what's worse is he said his car ran a 14.9 and it's bone stock with a 3in straight pipe tip(like the ones' for sale in pep boys that's supposed to go on like a dual V8 exhaust) and a Lowe's(not Home Depot probably why slower) intake. i raced him in my civic HX and had him through 3rd my civic runs low 15's allright . so anyway i've always used K & N, and i know they work, i was just wondering will the K & N's hookup with the Trust pipping, or is that what you were trying to say and i was just to dense to grasp that?

Scrub and Wraith, I'm from Delaware also, but now I live in Texas. Miss the beach and hot chicks in bikinis.

the greddy front mount with the greddy intake thing happened with the wrx too, which is why he had to give up the blitz (unfiltering metal intake) for the greddy. If you don't do home depot mods, you haven't been modding your car long enough.

i'm with this man. Why spend a lot of money for the same thing? Using some cut pipe from home depot, screwclamps, k&n filters and the stock piping, you have a flexible (can fit any intercooler) intake. If you can't make **** yourself when you need to, you aren't a true mechanic. Being able to be resourceful is a good trait to have.



Just because some ricer thought his mod did something special, doesn't mean going the same route, with a little ingenuity can't help you out! And a gaurantee my intakes look just as good as anyone elses.
