Okay, then you're looking at about 85.

Remember, the more money you spend, the more horsepower.

Most likely a whopping 2 or 3 hp up top to the wheels. Personally, I'd save up for a turbo or something with a better hp gain, but it's your money.

Make sure you get one that goes down to the ground so you get the really cool air.

How much HP, maybe 3-5 on a true cold air set up, but them your playing the puddle game.
Short rams, more air, but warmer air.

and if you add on of those strut tower bars and a stainless steel muffler you'll be at or over a hundred rear wheel hp.

Ditch the filter and duct tape the biggest funnel you can find and make sure it sticks out above your hood so you can get lots of cool air. It will actually almost double as a forced induction system. Totally adds like a bagillion hp. I did it to my car.

A good mod to go along with this would be get a 4 inch catback. Make sure its at least 4+ inch's though becuase you will get more horsepower by making it less effort for the engine to get all the exhaust out. With a cai and exhaust you could be a little over 200hp. well worth the money :)

they really work well with NOS...i shoot nos into 1 intake and then ether into the other...i ran 9's

:slap: C'mon man, everybody knows that cold air sinks! That's the number one reason your car is SLOOOOOWWWwwww. Do your research! If you did, you'd also know that there are these really JDM-tite H20 separation filters that split the puddle molecules and scavenge the oxygen right out of them ... No more hydrolock and all the coldest of the cold air you can ingest! Sh1t, it'll like totally double that bagillion; dyno proven! :yesnod :dblthumb:

What he said, get a bypass filter incase you do hit a puddle so you wont be sucking in water. Ingore the tards.
