sup everybody um i need to get sum opinions on the best cold air intake for my 97 gs-t.

 

I'd go with an AEM

 

injen

 

no cold air intakes for a 97gst unless you drill a huge hole through metal. buy a k&n filter and adapter for $80 and thats all you need. You can also build a custom sheet metal cold air box around the filter like I did to keep the temps lower.

 

for what?

 

what do you mean for what? for a 97gst. no turbo cars can have cold air intakes unless you drill a huge hole.

 

it just a question becuse i am curious but where are u talking about driling a hole.

 

cold air intakes sucks "cold" air from under the car, where a short ram intake sucks hot air from under the hood. On the gs't, gsx's, and tsi's there is no room for the filter to go "south" to suck cold air thus to make a CIA you have to cut a 3-4" hole in the frame of the car.

As you can see in the pic the filter is jammed in a rock and a hard place with no way to suck cold air.

 

ok i understand what coldir intake was but was just wondering wht he was drilling you learn somthing new every day.

 

you can drill a hole under the filter and send a custom pipe down there if you want. i didnt dot hat because if i ever plan to go back to stock i will have a huge hole where the stock airbox goes. instead you can also make a custom sheet metal enclosure around the filter and it keeps the hot under the hood air a lot cooler arouund the filter.
