I want to make my lara sound a little better.

nop thats crap, someone will say it again lol. You can lose some power and remember you get what you pay!

I have the SAME exact intake, only mine is blue.. i bought it from this seller as well... I must warn you that this tubing causes the MAF to give incorrect readings thus making your engine run rich. It also comes with a very cheap filter ( i replaced mine with an autozone one

P.S. I just remembered that when installing it i had to buy a smaller nipple adapter for the vacum line on the side of my stock airbox, so you will need the adapter and a cap for the extra unused one..

ok forget it, im not getting it.

Just save up for a good intake.
Don't by and Ebay intake, it's worthless.
Do it right the first time.

yeah its crap. If midias chimes in, he'll let you know why lol

ok forget it, im not getting it.

I know it is rough and you want some extra power and noise but save the huge amount of money for the CPE intake you will not be sorry.

[Chinky420]

midias is right.

if you DO get the ebay one....then you're going to need a SAFCII or an apexi neo to properly tune the a/f mixture.

which would end up making the cost come out to about 3-4 hundred dollars (plus the cost of having it tuned/dynoed)

and for that cost, you might as well just get the CPE, which has proven gains, dyno testing, and all the other stuff that makes a performance product legitimate. the A/F mixture has been reprogrammed to optimize air intake volume, ergo you don't run too rich/lean, and you don't blow your sensors.


now if you wanted a cheap noise maker, then go for the ebay, but be ready to lose MPG, have a CEL thrown, and possibly a sensor or two blown. but it'll sound good after 3k rpm at least.
