Hey all,
I've been doing some reading and this appears to be a sore subject to some people but I'm trying to decide which way to go as far as an intake solution.
My car is an 02 GTS and performance wise it's completely stock with the exception of a Belanger header-back exhaust.
I'm looking to either go with the JMB intake box or with the VIPAIR (yes I've read the million page post) along with K&N drop ins and smooth tubes.
From what I've gathered, the JMB will net a little more hp, but it is extremely expensive and the main issue is that it offers little to no protection against water intake. The VIPAR/K&N/smooth tube solution is cheaper, but seems to offer less hp, but protects against water intake.
My plan is to complete the intake process and then go with an SCT tuner and do some tuning on the dyno. After that, I'll be saving for a forced induction setup.
What is everyone's opinion?
Thanks in advance,
Rich
