But when I put my headers on, I noticed a very hard spike compared to what I would expect. The air goes in, air goes out... Headers + Intake = Ability to do this much quicker = More ponies!

Get one of the big name brands, not one of the cheap pieces of chromed tubing off ebay. Go for K&N or Moroso, you can get them for a pretty good price used and the most you should have to do is clean the filter. _____________________________ Moroso CAI/Kooks 1 3/4 LT Headers/catted Y/!muffler/Hooker tips. 17X9.5 Chrome Z06 wheels Exhaust clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WArqIB6esM (in reply to evilkal) Post #: 6
