Im looking to by an air intake for my 6. does anybody have one out there that sounds deep and they got it at a decent price. im looking to spend 50- 150 on it if i have to. if i cant find one ill probably just put on the filter and forget about it.

Thanx.

I don't think you'll find one for that price. Maybe the Ractive one, but I don't really know much about the quality. PRM and Hotsthots are both VERY nice, but are a bit more pricy.
http://www.prmracing.com/products.html for PRMs. I am fairly sure those prices are in CDN which makes it a bit cheaper. Hotshot's similar in price.

just make your own custom one, thats what i did , all parts you need are at home depot, i spent 10dollars on mine and wow i got a huge difference and alot better throttel response, oh and if you guys wonder what i used, hahaha pvc pipe , with the engine paint that repels high engine heat, spray the pipe outside and the inside, pipe no lie guys is always cool and engine revs faster and i feel power from 3500rpm till fuel cut but i shift earlier just my opinion and idea i did}) also i haven't had any problem with the pvc pipe one bit

Filter?????

Yeah, I'll have to tell him to do that...he's on this site someplace but im not sure what his name is. OH! but is your filter in the engine or under the engine bay? he had to put his in the engine and put a rubber pipe connector on the end and run the pipe to under the bay without a filter on the end...its like an itermittent filter. problem is, that makes it real easy to suck up water in there.

Ingesting water is such a crock of ****....
Frankly I'm sick of hearing about it. I got a PRM so I could pull the down pipe quickly in inclimate weather. And I did.... at first. But soon I found myself driving with it on year round. My Camaros filter sits far lower then my Probe's intake and the previous owner drove it through a few floods. Never pulled water. I know it's always nice to play safe and try to keep the intake away from water. But it's not likely to happen unless you're driving through ponds. (Fun Fact #178: Number of rivers my Camaro was driven through.....2 ) As a matter of fact, I can't name anyone on this board, or anywhere else for that matter, that's ever taken in water. Yes, it's possible. But I can promise I won't lose sleep over my intake hanging low.

I'm not saying you meant it like that at all. I just know everyone spews this whole ingesting water thing. But can anyone name someone who actually hydrolocked an engine due to CAI? Seems like it may be a bit more Urban legend then something to worry about.
