Default option racing intake

well my friends went in and got me a cai from option racing.. http://www.optionracing.com Right when I pulled it out of the box I was a little skeptical about it, and it also didn't come with instructions. I'm thinking I will lose power if I put that thing on. what do you guys think? I am looking at just going ahead and buying a fujita intake

any intake for our motors will net us a loss of low end but give us slightly larger top end power. not noticable at all.

that sensor you pulled out was the IAT sensor. if you pull it out, i'm pretty sure your car will waste more gas

Default Re: option racing intake (ley)

I had a short RAM option racing intake at one point.
CHEAP! The filter broke off after 2k miles, You can put it on if you like, be expecting to replace the filter soon though, also the bushing that held the 02 sensor in place was trash, and my sensor kept wiggling its way out. quite annoying. IMO trash it, or sell it on ebay.
