i finally put a new muffler on my 2003 X. i've never heard of the brand, it's "fora flow" or something like that. i forgot. i changed the tail pipe to 2.5" and i put a 3" tip on it. i think it sounds great, i'm pretty happy. total cost was $250 for pipes and all. now i'm thinking about an intake. any advice? does anyone have just a regular intake, or a cold air intake?

The only benefit you will notice with a cold air filter is the better throttle response. It will not give you better mileage. If you want a cold air intake, your better off just dropping in a K&N filter in the OEM airbox. You will get the same results for much less.

thanks for the reply. can you give me a link to exactly what you are talking about?

what about this one......?

so you are saying that that "pop charger" will give me the same results as a cold air intake? only 4 more HP? surely i'll get more than that. i've read elsewhere that some people have gotten up to 26 more HP with a cold air intake. anyone have one?

I wasnt saying that you would get more with the pop charger, i was just asking about it, if it was anygood or not..........

i'd like to see the dyno chart for that please

i'm not saying that the 26 more HP is correct, it's just what i read online.

which intake should i get? and about how much improvement would i expect?

Could'nt have said it better myself Dave. On a side note you may actually lose torque after an SRI or CAI install as well. Something to keep in mind.
