▼New Questions▼
I have a CAI for my ST, I feel like it gave me a little more power over stock, but it used to hang down on the tranni, and the heat shield use to actually get a little hot, and I assume the air isn't all that cold. So I moved the piping around and got a little more to bend further. I got it almost to the driver side turn signal. With the invader kit, its a big opening under the turn, and thats right about where it rests. I dont feel much of a difference from when it was in it original place and now, although it sounds better  . I was wondering, do you loose power if you go too far with the CAI piping?thanks- Also My air intake sensor (temp sensor?) is wrapped like 75% in electrical tape, never noticed it before. But should I take it off? would this affect anything? ▼Cleaning Air filter question ▼ I know there are K&N cleaner kits.... but I dont think its worth the money to buy since its not really dirty. I have a pressure washer, so I was wondering can I just lightly wash it, would that get the dirt and particles out? thanks!

You should put an intake right out the top of your hood, taller than the car itself. It'll make 200+ horsepower easily.

No, you should run a pipe from the intake manifold through the front bumper so it juts out, and connect it to the exhaust of a vehicle conveniently placed a few feet in front of the car. Engines release exhaust gases, right? Now you'll be releasing MOAR gas, which can only translate to MOAR power. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
