Got the adapter from Pep Boys for $15 and the air filter was $25 at Autozone. Sounds very nice and great throttle response.

Those gains you think you felt are 100% placebo.
It does have better throttle reponse, no one can tell me any different. If I can do a 0-60 numerous times before and after and easily shave time off then yes it is a gain very small but still a gain. I know its not a sports car by any means, so in conclusion its not what I felt, stop watches don't lie.
edit:these throw off the volumetric efficiency of the Galant. i did the same thing and had it for like 2 years. went back to stock for SMOG and it has more pep now. IMO our stock air boxes work better than just adding a cone filter in thereQuote:

Even with my Eclipse, it seems to do nothing more than add sound.
i dunno about the V6, but unless you get Ram Air or a properly placed CAI all it does is give you a nice sound lol
Yeah what made me wonder if v6's benefited more was when I had my s14 I had an injen intake, and I think just the adapter+filter alone on my G had more soujd than the intake on the 240. So I was wondering if its because having 6 cylinders there's more intakr of air? I know the injen intake was dyno proven on the 240, and the gains were noticeable, but nothing drastic. So I guess I'm saying it wasn't much more impressive than just the filter on my galant.
would have to agree ive done the pepboys adapter w/ cone went back to modded stock box sounds better and seems to be more responsive then the cone not very flashy but effective but i still thinkin about getting a cold air to see if theres any change and make it look betterQuote:

That's why I didn't bother with full exhaust or intake.. mainly wanted sound. Spent less than 100 for muffler and filterQuote:

I think the boxes are the same but I swapped my i4 stocker for a v6 stocker.
Says the man who has a new Genesis coupe... lolzQuote:

Yes, but single digit gains so nothing you will feel, it will just sound cool and the exhaust will have a slight different tone (a good thing) if you add a SRI versus stock
But you get torq boosts
My cold air on e-bay cost me $25
