Shinny sells and usually comes with a sticker that adds hp too.

Hmmm let me guess... the people laughing drive Honda's? I love talking to people who think that their shinny new intake adds 30-50hp .

They are laughing because they are jealous.

I laugh when I see cone filters stuffed into hot engine bays... then i tell the person to rip it out cuz they'll get better "throttle response"... some people believe me, and risk serious damage to their 1.8L
