I wanted to see who actually thought they would gain 43 hp from an intake. Good one.

The only surefire way to get 43hp is to put the stickers on it. Everyone knows that stickers add 10hp at a whack.

If you get the loud thumpy stereo, you gotta be sure that you loosen every screw to give it that nice rattle that is just music to my ears. Don't forget the rear spoiler if your car is front wheel drive.

yea, that spoiler helps hold a foreigner or a cutlas 4dr to the tar on the interstate off ramps. but it has to be taller than the roof. otherwise it does no good.
and having stickers of performance parts make your car just as suped up. especially on stock hondas. the bigger the sticker the more of a performance car it is over the other stock rides.
all the stuff the comercial market dont want u to know.
. dont suppose my truck could use a set of yokohama racing stickers for the sides and a spoiler. seeing as i get all that extra power i can be happy with from my FORD TRUCK!
that reminds me, my brother dragged home this ugly mazda rx7 today with a walmart paint job, and big super street stickers on the side, he forgot to put it in gear so i rolled that sob down the street. i was ready to disown him....lol

Don't forget the all important coffee can muffler to give it that wonderful buzzing noise. Man, I pulled up to this Probe yesterday and it sounded like a bee hive next to me, or at least one that had just been sprayed. I reved mine enough to let him know it was on. Anyways, the light turned green and his made this God awful buzz that had the effect of fingernails on a chalkboard. Oh did I mention that I smoked him. Must be embarassing to own a car that sounds that bad and isn't even fast.

well since youv'e got the big spoiler in the rear, shouldn't you put on a plastic front bumper cover with an extra-large radiator opening so that your gerbils don't overheat when running around in their wheels.

I'll leave that one alone. There are some people here (including me) that would dare to disagree with you. Quite violently too.

Maybe the air intake would make 43hp, at 90 mph, if it was hooked to a ram air system, which employed a 2 foot diameter funnel!

Remember though, that you don't get any more power from it until you put the sticker on. And yes leave us 6'rs alone, were here to rip on Ricers, not each other.

but what happens when you dirve it so fast that you rip the sticker off? (guilty). Believe it or not, my taurus sounds pretty stinkin good with straight pipes. When I get my diablo chip and new injectors in, it will have the same HP as the SHO......now if I could only get a T-5 in it............................
