Kurty, there is a ton of info/debate on here about cold air intakes if you want to search around. I got the impression that overall it's not worth it, but that's up to you. There is a link somewhere here on the site for to some simple things you can do to the airbox to improve the flow.

When do you think you'll get the Borlas on?

Dood....
is that the same kid who told you about "roaders and brushes"? If he is.... I'd never let him NEAR my car..... EVER!

I can think of no reason why a cold-air intake would have ANY affect (or even Effect) on ANY fluids.... whatsoever.

You are running straight pipes and no mufflers?

Oh ok, by the way he worded the post it sounded like he just cut the mufflers off and was done! Now that would be an "aggressive" tone...lol.....
