you said somethin about gettin a cai for $60, all the ones ive seen online have been upwards of $140-160 (i looked at the aem v1 and the k&n cold air) what web sites have good cai for cheap
a intake is an intake.

all you need is the pipe w/ bends and an air filter. eBay CAI's are going to give the general population the gains that they need. When you're talking about 1-2 horsepower for "name" brand products on a daily driven car, IMHO it's not a signifcant reason to spend the extra 80-100 bucks on.

For a "show" car or a track car, I understand. But the gains from a aem v1 and an eBay CAI are going to feel the same.

eBay, junkyards, and classifieds would be my starting point. Cheap, although they may be used and in any shape. Who knows, you may pick up a diamond in the rough!

From there, places like exospeed.com and other PERFORMANCE websites. (No NOPI.com for you! heh)

i do all my shoping on ebay. does the car being automatic make any difference in the parts that i need?

only if you buy an aftermarket intake manifold, you gotta make sure you get one for an automatic (the iac valve is in different locations). Also you might want to consider a different car, because you will get a bad rep for having an automatic... I personally don't care, gotta do what you gotta do.

i know people talk s**t about the automatic, but it was a choice in one way, cuz of wifey. i can drive stick, but so can every1 else. have u ever gotten beat by an automatic honda? dont think u have, but i would wanna be that first guy to do it. more work and more money, but it would be cool. my boy with an automatic accord sittin on chrome 18's spanked a bubble with a gsr motor. don't have video, but saw it personally. u know that bubble guy cried when he got home.

Please dont start a flame war in this. And lets leave the automatic conversation for another thread.

This is for SOHC upgrades, not auto vs stick. Nor is it for flaming other people's setups.

buzzbombtom -- do you have links for JG? I don't trust products that have the name "redline" or "max" etc.

*shrug* Didnt have online prices (that I saw). IMHO, I'd swap before I built a D-series NA.
