Very nice intake, from what I can see online it isn't overpriced that much compared to the others.

Yea, I got mine 2 months ago as a "pre-fit" deal with DC SPORTS. I know quite a few guys that work there. I also got a hold of one of the first Killer Glass Radiator hoses. I am a direct dealer for DC SPORTS, Killer Glass, DDM TUNING, Etc. If you guys ever need to check active inventory lists, let me know! I checked with DC Sports on Friday, and it will be May before they are ready to ship out the header and axlebacks. I am the only Megan Racing dealer on the East Coast, and they are currently working on a very nice Catback also. I will give more details as they become available.

They run anywhere from $269-$289 depending on where it comes from, and they are made by AFE!

for the DIY intake....im guessing from what has been said, a filter can be purchased at autozone. it needs to be 3.5". does that come with all the clamps and piping? or will other parts need to be purchased along with the filter? and is there any kind of adapter or something else to buy.

im wanting to do one this weekend or next. can someone give me a quick rundown of exactly what i would need so i can get it all in one trip to the store?

Since everyone is talking intakes, no need to start a new thread. lol I have a simple/complex question. And I want different opinions on this. Take a stock xD, out of the intakes available for aftermarket WHAT INTAKE WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST PERFORMANCE? Without factoring in the other upgrades.

Thats real debateable. I tried the DIY intake and I didnt like it. Felt like I lost some tq. I now have an Injen cai and its great. Running strong for awhile now. Others swear by the DIY intake. Injen claims 8 hp added I think but idk about all that. Im getting a dyno done tomorrow so ill see where I am with my mods.

I was waiting for that, lmao!!! The way I see it, and this could be close minded, but i have a DIY intake that was on the car when i bought it (spectre) and i dont see where its doing much at all for me. I figure if your spending like 50-60 or less on something like that...how much can you expect it to do?!?! But i will say this...the Injen CAI in BLACK is so sexy that may decide for me from color alone, haha. BUT....I DO WANT TO HEAR A FEW OPINIONS...FOR EXAMPLE IM SURE PEPS ON HERE RUN DIFF. CAI, or SHORT RAMS, ETC. I WANT TO KNOW THE GAINS IN PERFORMANCE PEPS ARE SEEING. And do let me know the results of that dyno.

can do. oh and if i remember right, the black one had issues with the maf sensor not fitting properly. they cut it right, but the paint made the hole a bit too small. i went polished for that reason and had no fitment issues. others just had to sand the paint off around the hole. just a fyi.
