Best bang for the buck?

they dont make a cold air intakes for our cars.(there is'nt much riv specific aftermarket) only hot air intakes lol

if you want a good intake then make a FWI our of 4" PVC and stick a k&N cone on the end in the fender.

mmk, I found the guide. seems fairly simple, but i'm still kind of puzzled on what size filter to use :< also, whether or not he used pvc glue on each fitting or if he just pushed them together

ahh yes he did use glue !!!!!!!!!!!! happy

I made this write-up.
I did -> NOT <- use glue on the joints. You need to be able to rotate the pipes to their ideal position and be able to take it apart afterwards if necessary.

If I were to do it again, I would use a silicone reducer coupling on the engine and a smaller S&B powerstack 7" filter with a 4 or 4.5 inch flange inside diameter. If you use a 4" flange, you'll have to heat it up with a hair dryer and add a little lube to the PVC pipe for it to slip on.

I also didn't glue my pieces together. There really is no need because they fit really tight together.
