Def. Who cares who makes the tube...the filter is what counts and in my experience nothing really beats K&N or GREEN.

im pretty sure the size of the intake doesnt matter as long as its as big or bigger than ur t/b anything much bigger than ur t/b is just goin to be restricted down to the t/b's diameter at the end..as for intakes if ur gonna go with name brand go with AEM but my advice is just get an ebay intake and buy a apexi power filter or a k&n thas prob ur best bet....brand name = expensive not needed for intake and down the line u might regret spendin that money if u are goin to booost

3" pipe from an exhaust shop, have them weld a bung on for the crank case breather.
Then toss a K&N on that ish!

comes down to one thing, Braggin Rights... hahaha. When you pop up the hood ,

Whatcha wanna see? an Expensive AEM lookin Nice w/ AEM all over it, a

Mediocore Injen Intake (couldnt afford an AEM) , or you were like F**k it imma go

with the Dryer Hose and who cares on how it looks! So, all in all, it depends on

what you wanna do with your car..... is it a tricked out EG or is it some beat up

I'm pretty sure a generic intake piping with a K&N Filter is still emissions legal....

The diameter and the lenght do matter. But thats only if your really picky. Both injen and AEM have it down though.
Ihave had an AEM short ram for the past.. 5 years or so.
Sucks when its hot out though..
