$10 Air Intake........really

These guy were givin $10 to spend on a homemade intake.

They even did dyno tests of their creations........you'll be surprised.

http://www.superstreetonline.com/

go to "car tech" (left side)

Click on "how to"

Scroll down to engine.......and click on "see more"

A window will pop up

Then click on "Build a $10 Intake!"

enjoy.

You'll see why even a CHEAP air intake (ones sold by APC or RACTIVE) are better than the stock one.

(and people want to spend their hard earned cash on an AEM )

I'll give some one $10 to do that. Then drive around the block with out your car blowing up and you get another $50.

get your money ready in the summer.

$10 invested.....for $50 in return.......that's a better return than my RRSP's.

A pipe is a pipe.

Did you at least go to the site and READ the thing?

Prob not,

I bet if they tried it WITHOUT anything connected at all........they would of gotton got the best HP gains too. (it figures.........there would be NO restrictions at all that way).

none would have survived a trip around the block.
You must of mis-read this...it ment the INTAKE, not the car.


I'm confident of the work I can do.......are you?


I'll build one......you go get ANY air intake you want.
If it's more than 5Hp than my homemade one......I'll buy you lunch at a restaurant of your choice.

If it's not......you come back here and say....."PULOVR was right...I should of listened.......I don't know jack ****".

All I'm saying is.....a pipe is a pipe.

Yes, AEM spends mucho $$'s on R&D, but dodn't you think that other companies would copy their designs? Unless you have modded your car for high HP, why bother speending the cash?

Most of the time, the gains are more mental than reality.

It sounds alot better (IMOP) than the silence of the stock one.

I argee a pipe is a pipe. When I do my swap I'm going to custom make myself a CAI. Will be lot cheap then AEM for sure and I don't mind some work.

But I think if you drove around all day with that thing on your car something bad could happen. COULD
