Yeah stock intake FTW! I don't like the noise of intakes and if you're auto, you'll notice a loss of torque.

an aftermarket intake only nets u like 1 more hp over a stock airbox with k&n drop in.. plus u dont get hasseled by the cops carb legal or not.

i guess i dont gotta deal with the carb legal stuff, anything goes here. i just think a polished shortram looks 'cleaner' then the stock ugly airbox. but i guess learn somethin everytime i come on this sight.

Not everyone has to deal with that outside of CARBifornia. Hell, I can i can hook up a fuel line to my exhaust with a spark plug down stream of it no big deal.
