    Pics of the 9G and the Pontiac or it didn't happen! LOL!


    I learned from Doug Macmillan (Co-Owner of Hondata) that even straight smooth pipes have turbulence. The guy is an absolute Genius. I met him at Church Automotive testing in Long Beach on Wednesday when we took my friends civic to tune, in prep for import faceoff in Vegas tomorrow.

    Made your own CIA?

    Can't resist....



    Nice Trans-Am though and nice intake given the cost.


    Also, be careful using those cheap cone filters. My buddy had one that was so poorly put together the glue for the center cone and cap came out. Nasty stuff to have sucked into your engine if it got that far.

    You and me both! I'm better than that! At least with the content of a post, you can edit that. I've done that plenty of times. I've never screwed up the title though!

    Yea u could have just cut bottom out the stock air box, and just putting the inlet lower won't help unless you get a manometer of magnehlic gauge to make sure its the highest point of low pressure, and even still u might only see biggest gain on cool mornings,

    You spent tons of money doing things right on one car, but you don't have enough money to buy a CAI for the 9G?

    What a waste. You should have saved your money. A decent CAI is under $200.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.
