those pipes are crap. dont use them. that said I would look at modifying the stock airbox first before going for a AEM type CAI. to put this into perspective, i hosted a GB with the 4ig intake which was a AEM Clone with uprated filter & pipes & was a great success.

If you want extra hp your gonna get 3-4 hp, but if you want 5000 rpm + loudness its a huge loudness gain. would I do it again ? dunno its loud but if you have an aftermarket exhaust the CAI takes over 5k>

If you get a decent sized filter for the end, I cant see why it cant be almost as good as the 4ig intake to be honest.

Looks very similar to the 4IGS intake to me. Even down to the loud plastic piping (although mine was red, and 4IGS also provided proper piping as an alternative). Quality isn't up there with AEM or the other big manufacturers, but for
