If you go for the AEM/Injen CAI, they make an AWESOME sound. The car sounds soo much meaner at WOT and deeper at the lower rpms. Screams at VTEC.

Performancewise, it's not much but you will feel more low end power. Less bogging off the line as well. Definitely makes the daily drive much easier from stoplight to stoplight.

Doug is right. Not too much too much you can do on this car. Save you money and get a blower.

BTW: Welcome to the board, Team Irvine is a very active club. hopefully see you on Sunday morning at diedrich coffee on Barranca/Culver 6 am sharp for a drive (all day)

BTW (2): I can't understand half the things you're writing. I only understand the other half because I was in college 7 years ago..

Have fun..

But the blower will increase the stress on the drivetrain exponentially and cause the differential and clutch to blow out much earlier in the car's life.

If you have the $$$, build up the drivetrain first, and then add the blower. Better yet, get rid of the S2k and get a faster car like the M3 since it will cost about as much to mod the S to those levels.

If you don't want to spend that much cash, then go with the intake. It's worth the money.
