The factory knows what they're doing. You can't get much out of an otherwise stock motor. Moreover, I have seen these stupid intake kits cause drivability issues and CE lights. Cold air intake kits are a waste of time.

i was using information from my own personal experience. with and intake, exhaust and a programmer i did get noticable gains out of my 05. with this combination you can get the air in and out more quickly with a proper tune and see/feel increases in hp and tq.

and i never said put an intake on and you will see 20 hp and 2/3 mpg increase. im not some little stupid kid that sees that advertised and believes it and then think i have to tell everyone else. i know better. dont put words in my mouth. i have never had an issue with drivability or check engine lights with the setup I used. i know how to properly tune my vehicle with the add-ons. what i had was an SCT excal2, volant intake, and flowmaster exhaust (not the best for performance but it sounds good).

Hence the head spinning icon. No such thing as cold air intake. It's ambient air at best.

I was wondering if you were being facetious or not...

Yeah, sarcasm doesn't translate well with text.
