since i cant afford turbo just yet and i still wanna run im starting with an intake and what brand do u guys recomend

 

brand?? i, use hks for my 97' gsx, injen for my 00' rs and weapon r for my outtie. so, far....injen is kickin' ( for n/a's) and hks for turbo's.

 

Yea, def Injen, mine is sweet and gives nice power and sound throughout the higher rpms.

 

if youre looking at intakes, one mandrel bent metal tube is as good as the next, provided the same routing and the same good air filter.

the one that i bought for my car was a "ebay cheapo". it came with a paper filter that i replaced with a good K&N filter, and with buying the filter, and the piping, it was around 120 bucks. 200 cheaper than the AEM piece...

unless none other is offered, i would NEVER buy any of those ridiculously priced brand name intakes, because in the end, K&N filters cap them off, so unless K&N doesnt make anything for your car, buy a cheap intake, like i did, and buy a K&N filter for it...

here is a picture of mine...cant tell what brand it is...but it looks like every other CAI out there...

WHAT IS THE PIPE DIAMETER SIZE FOR 6'?? looks pretty fat......

 

i think its 3" maybe 3.5"...here are a few more shots...i dont think that its any bigger than a standard CAI for a 3.0

this is a whole system right?? w/ extension too?? huge funnel adaptor, nice....( looks like a funnel adaptor or just adapter w/ huge pipe??) and you got this one from ebay??

 

it came with everything that you see, except for the MAFS...so from the TB elbow, all the way to the grouns (excluding the K&N)

 

loooking at your intake makes me man wow thats a fat *** pipe how much was that BTW and thanks again

 

One of my friends clamped a filter straight onto the throttle body. I don't know how I don't know why but that thing breathes like idk what.
