So i want to make a custom cold air intake, and im am on a low budget. From what i've seen people post i can slap an aftermarket filter on my stock pipe. True? This is for an Ealge Talon Esi (95-99). And if that doesnt work what all would i need, a pipe, silicon connectors and a few hoses, and a filter? help me out here. And remember VERY LOW BUDGET.

 

and my next question, is a high flow Cat even worth keeping?

 

just replace the stock airbox with a cone filter. It will work fine. All you need is a clamp for the filter

 

you could sell your wing and alteza tail lights and use the money for an intake. that would be a + on the performance and a + on the looks of the car.

 

Get the k&n fipk.

 

Yeha that is a good idea, i think i will sell the wing and the lights. but one problem i got huge holes in my hatch

new hatch, or bondo?

And no one answered me on the converter. test pipe better, or does converter add hp?

 

another thing, would replacing the air box with a filter add hp?

 

Converter restricts air flow their for it is a bad thing.A high flow cat compaired to test pipe the test pipe will gain you a extra 1-2 over a high flow cat. A test pipe also lets your motor run cooler and rev faster from less restriction.

 

Run no air box and put a cone filter at the end with a clamp. Air box only restricts air flow.

 

not really maybe 2hp but it will sound better
