whats your opinion on this intake
Looks pretty straight forward to me. They all do the same thing, so as long as the filter is outside the engine compartment, they are true cold air intakes. My K&N was about the same price. Says it has a reusable filter as well.
I'd trya nd find a straighter one, those bends and indentions will cause air turbulance. I've never seen that before and that tells me it isn't popular, and there's probalby a reason for that.
get a smooth elbow, the stock elbow also creates a lot of wind turbulence and weakens the flow of air. i had a factory elbow on my 3.4 with a CAI, put a smooth elbow and noticed better throttle response and a greater "throw you back in your seat" effect.
I've got the metal SLP CAI and blackwing high-flow filter on my car. They've definitely helped my airflow/throttle response and MPGs (24 city w/ a 3.8). And I still have the stock airlid and air silencer.
