the possibilities are endless lol
haha not quite endless, but if you are one of hte people that are afraid of hydrolock its definitely convenient to be able to swtich SRI. I converted my CAI to SRI and sold the second pipe to my friend for $15 haha

my 20% is WAY darker than that....and 10% you cant even see through at night unless there is light from inside...also, in the day, you can barley see through 20%....lol its ok though, thats 35%.

Back on topic. I like my ebay SRI, it was like $30 shipped and this kid at my school paid like $300 for a V2 and guess what, my car is still faster, and im still a better driver...and guess what else, with the $270 i saved, i waited a week (for some more money) and bought a cat back....he however had to wait 2 months and bought a super awsome name brand exhaust...and im still faster than he is..and he has vtec!...lol

It just depends...you really cant feel the power unless its one of the high end ones that are "dyno proven" then you can feel it a tiny bit...also, the intake only makes that sound when you are pushing the gas....(like past 50%) at cruising speeds, youwont evenknow its there (depending on how fast you like to go)

hahahahahaha!!! i was on ebay lookin at intakes just for the heck of it.. i dont need one, already have one but i came across something hilarious that i thought some of you would enjoy... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-95...10365293QQrdZ1...i can understand why they'd design it like that, sure, convenient to bend and put wherever you want, but one thing... look at all the spiraling and bumps to create turbulence in the air, making it hotter and not colder like it should! i think they forgot that its best to have it smoooooooth piping. wow, haha. hope you guys enjoyed that as much as i did.

I made one myself out of tubing for like $5 as a temporay one. I work for a plumbing whole sale company so I got cheap parts. I had that and it made a difference but then I went V2 cai and it made a huge difference. So intakes do differ alot.
