im running it on my s14...i got it off ebay. Good fuel economy jump, if you have an exhuast you won't really hear it...you'll feel a little bit of top end power increase not really worth the $200 lol

Yeah, it's pretty hard to hear it with a loud exhaust, but I got the same thing for like 30 bucks from a friend. Just gotta search man, like Dazzla said, not really worth the money, UNLESS you find it for as cheap as I did, then yeah, it's worth it then. Check possibly craigslist?

I run one on my S14, sounded great, and I noticed a jump in seat of the pants performance. And then I installed my exhaust, and never heard from the intake again.........

Air intake in Cali is no big deal unless your get your hood popped around every corner. Either way, it is so easy to revert back to stock.

So what, I have ran for 4 years on a cheap ebay air intake. Just swap back for smog. It's not like you have to smog every month. =P

lucky you, but I'm guessing one or two tickets from the CHP would probably make the legal intake worthwhile

True that, I preffer to get the intake instead of paying a 300 to 800 ticket.

I have been pulled over twice in my entire driving life, never hood popped, and besides illegal intake is a $15 fix it ticket.
