the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

The colder the air is the more dense it is thus more air can flow into your cylinders possibly making more power.

Also, less restrictive filter, and a more dirrect path to the throttle body.

an intake in general allows for more air into the system, a cold air intake simply gets colder air than a short ram intake.
Fox said it before, cold air is more dense so you have a bigger and better explosion.

it all depends on where you run the pipe.. some people run it into the driver side fender where the stock air box gets its air..

the stock air boxes are not that restrictive, so you will see less HP gains compared to hondas.

thanx guys,

ow just one thing i went down to autobarn(its like a car parts and crap store) down the road just to check out how much a HKS filter was gonna cost if a made a CAI...yeh found out they wanted 150 bucks >>
i was like WTF mate.
and right next to the HKS is some no brand for like 30 bucks, it says hi flow on it, would there be a real difference in a HKS air filter and any other cheaper filter?
